Sobre este título

'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 . . .

Resumo da Crítica

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 )
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! (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 — 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.
