A Dark So Deadly

"Well This Was Unexpected" according to Eden.M. I'm usually too busy reading to pay too much attention to my preorders, so when I saw there was a new novel from Stuart MacBride I figured it would be the latest Logan McRae, so I was quite surprised to see it wasn't, and I'll admit my heart sank when I saw that it didn't appear to be a standalone, but looking like book one in a new series, after all it's hard to imagine an author could begin to match or compare w. "Back to his best" according to Veritas. Enjoyable and interesting read, my only complaint, how can the main character ( like in so many of these crime novels) get beaten up so badly , so many different times, by so many different people and still manage to function? That said I look forward to Mr Macbride's next novel.. Stuart at his best! Excellent characters, wit, suspense. It's dark, great twists. I thoroughly enjoyed the book. It's on par with Logan McRae series. I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes the new Callum McGregor series. Well done!
