A review by andrew61
Close to the Bone by Stuart MacBride

3.0

I read book 7 well over a year ago and with a diet of conventional police procedurals it took me a while to get back into the black humour of this series but when I did I enjoyed the rip roaring ride as DS McRae has to solve several different crimes occurring simultaneously but at the centre murders that mirror the plot of a supernatural horror movie being filmed in Aberdeen.
Some great tangential themes including his girlfriend physical health and his relationship with the local gang leader and son make for a page turning read. Don't plan to leave it so long for book 9.
