A review by martyfried
A Dark So Deadly, by Stuart MacBride

5.0

I've become a Stuart MacBride groupie after reading this. I liked his Logan McRae series (of the 4 I've read so far), but this one was better to me. It took a little bit to get into the flow; at first, it seemed all the characters were either complete assholes or total losers, or both. Well, they're all somewhat losers, sort of like the Slough House series by Mick Herron, one of my all-time favorites. And like Slough House, the characters grew on me.

There's a lot of really dark humor here, along with a really dark story. I recommend you don't even try to guess how it will end (I don't know if that's even possible), just enjoy the ride. I thought the audiobook was excellent, by the way.

I was enjoying this so much I even checked out the author's website. It was pretty entertaining. Even his bio here on Goodreads and the website are entertaining.

After reading this, I'm looking forward to continuing with the Logan McRae series soon.
