Synopsis

A short novel from the No. 1 bestselling author, featuring DI Logan McRae and DCI Roberta Steel. CID isn’t what it used to be… It’s a been a bad week for acting Detective Inspector Logan McRae. Every time his unit turns up anything interesting, DCI Steel’s Major Investigation Team waltzes in and takes over, leaving CID with all the dull and horrible jobs. Like dealing with Mrs Black – who hates her neighbour, the police, and everyone else. Or identifying the homeless man who drank himself to death behind some bins. Or tracking down the wife and kids of someone who’s just committed suicide. But when the dead bodies start turning up, one thing’s certain – Logan’s week is about to get a whole lot worse… Praise for Stuart MacBride: ‘A terrific writer … Logan McRae is a delight’ ‘MacBride is a damned fine writer’ 'Dark and brilliantly written' ‘A tour de force … smartly paced and vividly pungent’ ‘Dark and gripping. A riveting page-turner’ ‘Unmissable … Superb storytelling’ ‘Crime fiction of the highest order’

Luckily, I remembe......more

Goodreads review by Siobhan on August 07, 2018

22 Dead Little Bodies is a nice little short story that fits in between book eight, Close to the Bone, and book nine, The Missing and the Dead, of the Stuart MacBride’s Logan McRae series. I’m not usually a fan of short stories but having enjoyed the other short stories Stuart MacBride had offered i......more

Goodreads review by Sharon on July 18, 2015

Another cracking tale from the Granite city and two of my favourite mismatched characters - Logan McCrae and DI Steel. Macbride manages to not fall down the path of other short novels where the characters and storyline are rushed or leave you feeling unsatisfied with the way they are handled. He pret......more
