About this listen
Stuart MacBride's number one best-selling crime series opens with this award-winning debut.
DS Logan McRae and the police in Aberdeen hunt a child killer who stalks the frozen streets.
Winter in Aberdeen: murder, mayhem and terrible weather...
It's DS Logan McRae's first day back on the job after a year off on the sick, and it couldn't get much worse. Three-year-old David Reid's body is discovered in a ditch: strangled, mutilated and a long time dead. And he's only the first. There's a serial killer stalking the Granite City, and the local media are baying for blood.
Soon the dead are piling up in the morgue almost as fast as the snow on the streets, and Logan knows time is running out. More children are going missing. More are going to die. And if Logan isn't careful, he could end up joining them.

atmospheric
I enjoyed this story. I especially like the way he included the ambiance of the city into the trials and tribulations of the main character. Will be reading his Detective Logan series.

Better Than I Expected!
It did have pretty good reviews but this story was better than I expected! I actually loved it. The characters were very interesting, and the narrator was fantastic with all the different regional Scottish accents (at least to my Canadian ear).
I don't have any issues with swearing and I'm not bothered by gore or violence to children in fiction so I definitely didn't feel bothered by those things.
I must mention the humour! There was dry Scottish humour sprinkled throughout the story, sometimes I even laughed out loud!
The story was maybe a teeny bit convoluted about two-thirds of the way through when they started arresting people but other than that it was fantastic! I will definitely be listening to the rest of the books in this series immediately.

Not quite Rankin, but who is?
This is a well written, tightly plotted contemporary mystery. Its setting is strongly evoked and its protagonist appealingly human. The crimes are graphic and the language a bit rawer than the norm. The reader was excellent, with a nice line in rueful understatement. I will definitely pursue this series further, if only to see if the sun ever actually shines in Aberdeen.

Great Read
I loved this novel. I first read A Dark is so Deadly one of McBride's stand alone novels and thoroughly enjoyed it. He has a way of building a convoluted plot that is slowly reveals itself. I will continue with this series.
