À propos de ce contenu audio

'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 . . .

    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 After That Night )
    Dark and brilliantly written (Linwood Barclay, author of I Will Ruin You )
    MacBride is a damned fine writer (Peter James, author of Picture You Dead )
    Crime fiction of the highest order (Mark Billingham, author of The Last Dance )
    Stuart MacBride is an automatic must-read for me . . . always fast, hard, authentic – and different (Lee Child, author of Killing Floor )
    A terrific writer
    Deft plotting and whipcrack dialogue, a must read (Peter Robinson, author of Gallows View )
    Brilliantly creepy (Jane Casey, author of A Stranger in the Family )
    Ferocious and funny, this is Tartan Noir at its best (Val McDermid, author of Past Lying )
    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 (Steve Cavanagh, author of Witness 8 )
    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 (Simon Kernick, author of You All Die Tonight )
    <i>This House Of Burning Bones </i>sees the most welcome return of the Aberdeen-set Logan McRae series and it&rsquo;s as good as we had any right to expect. It&rsquo;s witty, it&rsquo;s gripping and it further cements MacBride&rsquo;s place amongst the upper echelons of the UK&rsquo;s crime fiction writers. A masterpiece! (MW Craven, author of Nobody's Hero)
    Though part of a series, this novel stands successfully on its own, its characters fleshed out and in full possession of their idiosyncrasies &mdash; all magnificently conveyed by narrator Steve Worsley, who hails from Aberdeen. He captures perfectly the novel&rsquo;s dark wit and the region&rsquo;s pugnacity, bringing a sense of festivity to the police crew&rsquo;s inventive, anatomically challenging insults and foul execrations. Worsley provides appropriate voices for exasperated acting DCI McRae; the &ldquo;wee loon,&rdquo; DC Tufty Quirrel, fan of Star Wars and master of &ldquo;Yodish&rdquo;; raunchiest of cynics, Roberta Steel; and a passel of ne&rsquo;er-do-wells, screwups and unctuous big shots.
