About this listen

Stuart MacBride's number one best-selling crime series opens with this award-winning debut.

DS Logan McRae and the police in Aberdeen hunt a child killer who stalks the frozen streets.

Winter in Aberdeen: murder, mayhem and terrible weather...

It's DS Logan McRae's first day back on the job after a year off on the sick, and it couldn't get much worse. Three-year-old David Reid's body is discovered in a ditch: strangled, mutilated and a long time dead. And he's only the first. There's a serial killer stalking the Granite City, and the local media are baying for blood.

Soon the dead are piling up in the morgue almost as fast as the snow on the streets, and Logan knows time is running out. More children are going missing. More are going to die. And if Logan isn't careful, he could end up joining them.

Great story, also great reading resulted in one of my favourite books ever on audible.

A must listen for anyone who likes crime thrillers.

Gripping from start to finish

Good story - but considering it was written in 2005 I was surprised to hear terms like "WPC" (that was dropped in 1999!) or "male nurse".. nevertheless, still going to listen to the next one.

Worth the time

I started this series at book 5 with the first unabridged version and have been waiting patiently for the early books to come out! Enjoyed all the books on the series and this is no exception. Thankfully book 2 has just been released so off to get that and hope the other 2 are close behind. So pleased to see the same narrator who does a great job with these.

I'm not a fan of shortened books - so will have to wait for the next 2 to continue my fix of Steele and Logan!

Finally the unabridged versions!

Excellent

This story is emotional to both extremes, funny in parts and overall an excellent thriller. It's made all the better by the excellent narration.

A rollercoaster ride!

A really interesting storyline which left me guessing until the end. Lots of twists and turns. I enjoyed how the author concentrated on the story rather than the characters personal lives. The main character was very likeable but the author didn't reveal much about him. I will definitely read the next in the series. I normally listen to scandi or foreign detective novels but found the grey setting of Aberdeen worked well for this type of gritty novels atmosphere.

Great gritty novel

I very much enjoyed this book. I find the narrator to be excellent and captures the characters very well. The content can be dark and saddening but that is expected from a crime novel. The story is written very well and gives a wonderful glimpse into the Scottish life and their police system. It's an empowering read.

Engaging and suspenseful

Not for the faint hearted

Gritty storyline

Stuart McBride is by far my favourite author. The perfect mix of darkness and laugh out loud humour makes his books a joy to listen to. I am always a little sad when they end. Logan McCrae is beautifully written but Roberta Steele will always be my favourite character. The narrator does justice to the perfectly written books with the right tone, pace and inflection in his voice. If you can't tell I loved this book!

Total balanced Brilliance
