All That's Dead: The new Logan McRae crime thriller from the No.1 bestselling author (Logan McRae, Book 12)

Product Information

I love the reoccurring characters of Logan, Steel, Tufty and Rennie, and the camaraderie between them makes me laugh out loud the entire way through and brings beings a lightness to what otherwise are incredibly grim tales. I think it is because I'm not British or Scottish but I just couldn't relate to this book because it was more about politics than anything else.

Many of the characters that normally bring a brilliant kind of dark humour to the table were now just plainly getting on my nerves. I could vividly imagine the scenes only from his descriptions and I really enjoyed his hilarious metaphors. Meantime, social media has gone wild with rumours about what has happened to Wilson and threats of more violence to come. Yes it’s a thing in my house, the youngest did one last night having finished the fourth Harry Potter.Simply a fantastic novel and a rip roaring, entertaining, character driven narrative that will be loved by fans.

Some of the Alt Nat members are certainly not averse to using extreme violence against those who’s views differ from theirs. The writing is great, as always, and I’d forgotten how much I enjoy his use of contemporary Scots banter and dialect – again always exaggerated, but very funny, and not at all problematic for non-Scots to enjoy.To access your ebook(s) after purchasing, you can download the free Glose app or read instantly on your browser by logging into Glose. I am not a huge fan of political stuff, I don't always get it, some of it is above my head and if I am honest I get bored with it very quickly. However, a journalist is threatening to make a huge splash of revelations regarding King and Logan is set on initially to determine the veracity of the accusations and to assist in the case. We all know the deviousness that can lie at the heart of a beardy crime writing genius from Scotland.

But he does it mainly to make for more exciting plots and for comic effect, so I can usually go along for the ride. From there it was a roller coaster ride (in that it made a lot of people feel decidedly unwell) from web designer to web manager, lead programmer, team lead and other assorted technical bollocks with three different companies, eventually ending up as a project manager for a global IT company. He wasn’t completely thick – the boy was great on sci-fi trivia, so if Star Trek, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, or Battlestar Galactica came up at a pub quiz, he was your man – but actual police work?The ragtag crew of McRae, Tufty, Rennie and Steel are as strange, intriguing and unusual as they have always been, but you never get tired of them due to their idiosyncrasies. The dark sardonic humour is as great as ever and helps break up the brutal crimes and investigation into the two killers by giving the reader some light relief. Professor Wilson, a high-profile anti-independence campaigner has gone missing, apparently abducted from his home, but nothing was left behind except some bloodstains.

I would like to thank both Net Galley and Harper Collins for supplying a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review. I rarely comment on dialogue included in a story, but MacBride does a superb job of moving the narrative forward in a very natural way.All That's Dead is the twelfth book in the DI Logan McRae series and although most series' would be running out of steam at this point, this is as fresh and captivating as the first ones.
