★★★★★ 5 stars
OMG! This is quite different from previous Stuart MacBride in the Logan McRae series. I like that it is focused on the one case instead of several throughout the course of the story, but....WARNING! If you have a weak stomach then steer clear of this one. It is graphic, gory in parts and if it were a movie it would be classified horror. Simply put: serial killer, abattoir, bolt gun, pithing rod (google it) and lots and lots of blood. This is a Wolf Creek in Aberdeen.
Having said that, it was a brilliant, if not gory, mystery. It still had the dark witty humour we are used to and that I love. The continual commentary on DI Steel's bra is cause for amusement, as is the banter between Steel and MacRae. And then there is the new love in DC Simon Rennie's life...lol. But amidst the usual humour and the tough case at hand, a tragedy so sad so shocking hits one of their own and tears their life apart.
So many emotions when reading not just this book, but each of them, makes Stuart MacBride one of my favourite authors.
