Synopsis

The third DS Logan McRae thriller in the No.1 bestselling crime series from Stuart MacBride. A crime of passion … or cold-hearted murder? ‘MacBride is a damned fine writer’ Peter James The Granite City’s seedy side is about to be exposed… A serial rapist is leaving a string of tortured women behind him, but while DS Logan McRae’s girlfriend, PC Jackie ‘Ball Breaker’ Watson, is out acting as bait, he’s trying to identify a blood-drenched body dumped outside Accident and Emergency. Logan’s investigations suggest someone in the local bondage community has developed a taste for violent death, and he soon finds himself dragged into the twilight world of pornographers, sex-shops and S&M. Meanwhile, the prime suspect in the rape case turns out to be Aberdeen Football Club’s star striker. Logan thinks they’ve got it horribly wrong, but Jackie is convinced the footballer’s guilty and she’s hell-bent on a conviction at any cost…

Broken Skin is the 3rd book featuring DS Logan McRae and I feel Stuart MacBride is really starting to hit his straps with the series, understanding exactly how far he can push each of his returning characters. The result is an extremely entertaining romp into the seamier underbelly of Aberdeen at th......more

Goodreads review by Natalie on January 04, 2023

Absolutely brilliant. There is no other author around at the moment with better one-liners. A wry, dry, and witty combo of clever, make-you-smile quips that make sarcasm seem like compliments, and no one is immune...characters, events, and places, all cop their share of McBride’s humour. The storyli......more
