About the Book

'This novel stands successfully on its own, its characters fleshed out and in full possession of their idiosyncrasies — all magnificently conveyed by narrator Steve Worsley...He captures perfectly the novel’s dark wit and the region’s pugnacity, bringing a sense of festivity to the police crew’s inventive, anatomically challenging insults and foul execrations.' – The Washington Post

'MacBride is a masterful storyteller with a terrific eye for detail and razor-sharp wit. This House of Burning Bones is an absolute must-read.' – Karin Slaughter, author of This Is Why We Lied

The Granite City is ready to burn, and all it takes is a single spark . . .

In the heat of a blistering summer, Aberdeen’s police are struggling: half the force is off sick, leave has been cancelled, someone’s firebombed a hotel full of migrants, and there’s a massive protest march happening this Saturday.

With officers dropping like flies, Detective Inspector Logan McRae is forced to juggle cases and run a major murder investigation with a skeleton staff of misfits, idiots and malingerers until the top brass can arrange back-up from other divisions.

It doesn’t help that the Aberdeen Examiner has just been bought by Natasha Agapova, a tabloid media tycoon hell-bent on blaming local police for everything. And she’s more than happy to fan the flames.

But, as bad as everything seems, it’s all about to get much, much worse . . .

Review :
MacBride is a masterful storyteller with a terrific eye for detail and razor-sharp wit. THIS HOUSE OF BURNING BONES is an absolute must-read. Dark and brilliantly written MacBride is a damned fine writer Crime fiction of the highest order Stuart MacBride is an automatic must-read for me . . . always fast, hard, authentic – and different A terrific writer Deft plotting and whipcrack dialogue, a must read Brilliantly creepy Ferocious and funny, this is Tartan Noir at its best Stuart MacBride is one of the best in the business. Always beautifully written, evocative settings and characters dripping with authenticity and a story you can’t get out of your head. Stuart delivers every single time Hard-hitting prose with a bone-dry humour and characters you can genuinely believe in, Stuart MacBride’s Logan McRae series of novels are a real treat This House Of Burning Bones sees the most welcome return of the Aberdeen-set Logan McRae series and it’s as good as we had any right to expect. It’s witty, it’s gripping and it further cements MacBride’s place amongst the upper echelons of the UK’s crime fiction writers. A masterpiece! Though part of a series, this novel stands successfully on its own, its characters fleshed out and in full possession of their idiosyncrasies — all magnificently conveyed by narrator Steve Worsley, who hails from Aberdeen. He captures perfectly the novel’s dark wit and the region’s pugnacity, bringing a sense of festivity to the police crew’s inventive, anatomically challenging insults and foul execrations. Worsley provides appropriate voices for exasperated acting DCI McRae; the “wee loon,” DC Tufty Quirrel, fan of Star Wars and master of “Yodish”; raunchiest of cynics, Roberta Steel; and a passel of ne’er-do-wells, screwups and unctuous big shots.
