Shatter the Bones Stuart MacBride Books

The seventh book in the Logan McRae series opens quite explosively. It's an exciting and fast-paced novel with a celebrity abduction angle intermixed with a few other cases. Some of the celebrities may sound a bit familiar - but I am sure their real-life counterparts are nothing more than coincidence! Still, it's an exciting book and moves along steadily. This is due, in large part, to the more centralized nature of the plot. The plot does take a few predictable paths, but the surprises lurking more than compensate for this! The Jenny and Alison kidnapping takes precedence over the other crimes, but there are still some other drug crimes and a wide amount of interviewed suspects to maintain the police procedural focus so ingrained within the series.

And quite a bit happens in Logan's personal life as well! He gets too close to the truth and receives a stern warning with some harsh consequences. And Logan's morals are further tarnished as he steps outside of the law. All in all, it's a fast-paced, thrilling read that really leaves you anxious for the next installment in the series!

Shatter the Bones Stuart MacBride Books Reviews

Stuart McBride's "Shatter the Bones" is an excellent mystery thriller. Set in the Scottish city of Aberdeen, it details the search for a mother/daughter singing team who have been kidnapped. I enjoyed the book very much, and particularly appreciated the author's clever depictions of the city and the dialogues among the characters. Readers not familiar with Scottish English however should be forewarned that while the writing is mostly in standard English, the dialogues are in the Scottish, and could be a little troublesome for those unfamiliar with it.
A gripping read from start to finish! Starting book 8 as soon as I've boiled the kettle and made a fresh cup of tea! Thanks Stuart! Bloody brilliant!!
If you love detective stories set in northern Scotland with unforgettable individuals then this is the series for you. Logan, Reene, McBride and all of the cast will make you howl and weep as you are faced with keeping the peace in Scotland.
The only thing wrong with the Logan MacCrae novels is that I have to wait for the next one. A story of a kidnapping, and a drug theft engages us from the beginning. This is a powerful police procedural, filled with imperfect characters, unpleasant villains, and highlights the difficulty of solving a case when every lead fizzles. The brutality of human nature is highlighted, but the humanity of the police officers, particular Logan balances the pieces that are difficult. When it was over, I felt as though I had lived this story, and I hopefully await the next in the series.
Stuart MacBride, may God give him good health and sharpen his remarkable wit, is on one of my favorite writers. He has a rare ability to, in a very few words, describe a character as vividly as it were sitting in front of you. Great plotting and unsurpassed wit make him stand out in a crowded field of exceptional Scottish crime writers. This, seventh book is no exception. Smart, gritty and just too funny for words. Stuart, keep writing, please.
A very intense, slightly slower paced book. I found that this allowed for fuller development of all the characters involved in both main scenairos. Logan, despite being surrounded by more than his fair share of idiots, manages to pull off the near impossible. He is portrayed as more human in this book, doing what most of us would like to in similar circumstances, but at the end of the day, his morality kicks in to stop him from going completely into the darkness. His personal life is also giving him twinges that he doesn't really want to confront until things spiral out of his control. Is there a happy ending?

A good read, twisted humour and a police department I wouldn't trust to find its own front door! Having said that, if I had the funds, I'd like to visit Aberdeen just to see what it is really like. I am intregued!
I hope we don't have to wait too long for the next instalment.
I've read all the books in the Logan McRae series, enjoyed every one, and thought each was better than the last. The same hold trues for "Shatter the Bones"...up to a point.

The writing, always tight, is now about as crisp as it can be. The characters are developing nicely, showing more human sides while maintaining the cynical nastiness that makes their interactions so much fun. There are a couple of stomach-turning moments, but less of the gratuitous gore that marred some of the early novels.

But all that makes the ending even more disappointing. I don't want to spoil it for you, so I'll say only that things get tied up a little too quickly, in a way that's meant to surprise but ends up feeling like an easy out.

You'll know what I'm talking about once you read the book. Which you should. It's gripping.
