Got a copy of every book from Cold Granite onwards. One of my favourite authors, dark humour and quite a few laugh out loud moments in all of his books despite the subject matter. Brilliant in my opinion.
Awesome! Thanks!
which one are you reading?
The missing and the dead. I’ve not started it yet so should I read them in order? It’s the only one I have.
I’d read them in order to be honest not that it spoils any story as such, its just that the personal relationships are sort of set up in the earlier books.
The one I have is number 8 it seems! Perhaps I’ll get the first one to try.
try somewhere like The Works. I’m sure that was where I bought my first Stuart MacBride book (if you’re lucky then you could get the first three for a fiver lol).
I’ve caved and bought the first one from eBay for £2.81!
you see it makes sense lol
Read them all, brilliant books one of my favs ??
I’ve read all of his books and I love them! They are quite funny too, dark humour.
I love his books, one of my faves
Love Stuart MacBride, brilliant books, you’ll be hooked!
He’s one of my faves too. I told him I don’t like reading them in the winter because he always talks about how cold it is from the wind from the North Sea. Makes me shiver. His books are really good.
Read cold granite and a few of the next’s ones must go back to him
Very good reading
He is one of my favs now. Love his books.
Yep he’s really good, love his ?
I love the whole series but you will get far more out of them if you start at the beginning & read them in order.
Absolutely brilliant! Very funny and clever. But best to read them in order
Yes several. Great author, thoroughly enjoyable. Each book obviously a different story but a couple of underlining themes going from book to book so better to start as early as possible in the series.
Love him read all his books just brill hope you enjoy him x
Brilliant author, great series with Logan McRae as main character.
Love his books?
Yes love him xx
Loved his first ones, but the relationship between the main character McRae and his boss became a bit ridiculous so I stopped reading them, but he has 2 others Birthdays for the Dead and something else with a main character Ash Henderson which were very good
The something else is Song For The Dying xxx
That’s it 🙂 Liked them ones
Love both series cx
Great books
Very funny and not for the faint hearted
Very dark humour indeed.
Fantastic series x
Really brilliant author, dark and very funny but you have to read them in order to understand the characters & the relationship between them.
One of my favourite authors, love his books. Crime with humour!
You won’t be disappointed he’s brilliant
Funny and gruesome at the same time. Excellent books
I devoured them all and eagerly await his next!
Thank you all!
prepare to be dazzled…
I’ve caved and bought the first one from eBay for £2.81!
Love him.
It’s the humour I like
Have you read the Frost books? Those by RD Wingfield and the prequels by JamesHenry
Haven’t read prequel ones but got all frost ones
No I haven’t. Do you recommend them?
Yes. They’re really good
I live these books. The James Henry ones are really good too.
I love him, his books and his black humour – I have been known to laugh out loud…
some of his descriptions of Steel have had me in tears of laughter.
Me too
Brill books ..X
Brilliant brilliant brilliant books
great author great books enjoy x
I love the Logan and Steele books read them in order. My only problem is I sleep fight when I read them. My other half dreads the day another one comes out lol.
Make sure you read the Logan and Steele books first. The Ash Henderson series is much darker.
Brilliant. Inspector Roberta Steel is a hoot.
Great author, great wit and humour among the gritty story lines.
Very good author!
Yes he’s fantastic
Love them ??
My husband loves too especially Steeles habit of hitching her bra strap up.
And everything else. ???
One of my favourite authors!
Yes!! Excellent ?
Am reading him now…you have to read them in the right order..brilliant….
His DS Logan Mcrae books are fabulous! Although I think the latest one was the weakest, and I think it’s time for the series to end. Up until then, though they have been so, so great. Dark and twisted crime mixed with dry, black humour. Wonderful!
Why should the series end a lot of people enjoy them just because you didn’t there’s no need to say it should end
As I said, I LOVE the series, @Elizabeth. Stuart MacBride has influenced my own writing. It’s just my opinion, as you have yours. I’m absolutely certain that he will continue to write brilliant things, including more DS Logan Mcrae books.
Do you write books are they published can you buy them i shops what are they called I love new authors
Got a few of his. Loved them. Hope you enjoy xx
read all of his…very dark and funny…enjoy
very good books x
good books, enjoy them
(y)
Brilliant and funny commentary with his fellow colleague cc
His new one is brilliant but I defo found myself reading it in a Scottish accent ??
Love them! I remember being a bit puzzled at first until I realised that “fit” means “but”!!
I had to look up some of the fast food they buy. White pudding for one. ?
I think we call that “hog’s pudding” here in the Westcountry, but I can’t say I’ve ever tried it!
Its made from oatmeal and various spices.the chip shop version is dipped in batter and deep fried ?
Do they still deep-fry Mars Bars up there?
Yes some places do although ive never tried one myself
What is Hoggie then please
Oh same as Hog pudding ??
Have read all his books. Absolutely love him!
@Lindy fit actually means what ?
Oops!!
Im from aberdeen so thats how i know @Lindy so if you get stuck on a word let me know lol x
I will,Teresa – you’ll be my go-to McRae translator!
