Synopsis

From the No. 1 bestselling author of THE MISSING AND THE DEAD comes the short novel: 22 DEAD LITTLE BODIES, plus two short stories: STRAMASH and DI STEEL'S BAD HEIR DAY, and a novella: THE 45% HANGOVER, all featuring his most popular characters – DS Logan McRae and DCI Roberta Steel. They say ‘small is beautiful’, but as Stuart MacBride demonstrates in these four tales, it can also be dark, violent, disturbing, and sometimes really quite rude. So pour yourself a wee dram, curl up on the sofa and enjoy DS Logan McRae and his sometime boss, friend, mother substitute, and nemesis, DCI Steel at their best. Here you’ll find Logan’s week from hell; Steel’s own personal nightmare before Christmas; an explosive shootout on a remote Scottish island; and the ultimate test of their relationship…

Even though I’m not a big fan of short stories – I prefer to devour a lengthy novel – I was more than willing to dive into Stuart MacBride’s short stories. With 22 Dead Li......more

Goodreads review by Paul on November 22, 2020

This is a collection of stories featuring the characters in Stuart Macbride's Logan Macrae ongoing series. It includes 2 short stories, a novella and a "short novel" of which I really don't see a difference but that's how they're described. In the introduction there is also a very helpful continuity......more

Goodreads review by ReadsSometimes on January 12, 2016

Just pure classic DS Logan McRae and DCI Steel. 22 Dead Little bodies - the first story. A rift between two neighbours becomes a lot more than just a riff. Brilliant writing as usual with the same grit and humour which accompanies all the books I have read in this series. The other three are just fun......more
