Cold Granite by Stuart MacBride

Cold Granite (Logan McRae, #1)

by Stuart MacBride

The very first Logan McRae novel

Stuart MacBride's Number One bestselling 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...

Good, compelling read, although felt a little stretched out at the end. The back story put me off a bit at first, I checked several times to make sure I hadn't missed a previous book. Overall, really enjoyed it.
