The tenth Logan McRae novel from the No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author.

Scottish crime fiction at its very best.

Some things just won’t stay buried…

Logan McRae’s personal history is hardly squeaky clean, but now that he works for Professional Standards he’s policing his fellow officers.

When Detective Inspector Bell turns up dead in the driver’s seat of a crashed car it’s a shock to everyone. Because Bell died two years ago, they buried him. Or they thought they did.

As an investigation is launched into Bell’s stabbing, Logan digs into his past. Where has he been all this time? Why did he disappear? And what’s so important that he felt the need to come back from the dead?

But the deeper Logan digs, the more bones he uncovers – and there are people out there who’ll kill to keep those skeletons buried. If Logan can’t stop them, DI Bell won’t be the only one to die…

Fantastic Read

Reviewed in Australia on 8 July 2018

Verified Purchase

Another Stuart Mc Bride cracker of a read. A rather dark tale of dark crimes but interspersed with great flashes of humour from well developed characters. The books confirms Stuart's skill as an author. I always look forward to the next chapter of the Logan MacRae story. While the book can be read by themselves I would recommend starting from the beginning to get a very good sense of the characters.

A fantastic read.

Stuart! What Happened?

Reviewed in Australia on 24 July 2020

Verified Purchase

Oh dear. One of my favourite authors has hit the wall. This is nothing short of terrible. The already larger than life characters become caricatures, the plot is superficial and obvious. Faced with a ring of child sex traffickers, the entire police force are focused on talking in silly voices, doing a happy dance and rambling on about irrelevant topics that do nothing to develop character. But one thing stands out: for the police men and women of Scotland, the most dire and terrible fate is to get rained on - the most brutal and sickening of crimes can be perpetrated without fear of punishment if there's a chance of getting wet. This is awful. Reread an earlier story rather than put yourself through this torture.

Bloodthirsty, gory and hilariously funny

Reviewed in Australia on 30 October 2018

I love your books, so very well written. Not a tale for the faint hearted as it is very graphic. I don't usually like books that concentrate on gratuitous violence but this book although violent is written with great humour of the laugh out loud sort. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I hope you will too.

A mixture of story and comedy

Reviewed in Australia on 30 March 2019

Verified Purchase

After a fair start, it became unclear to me if this was a sort of Monty Python style take-off or a crime story. So many "Aaarghs" and "urghhs" other unlikely noises from Police officers that the storyline became disjointed. The plot itself was good and the ending seemed to go on but not one of the better books.

A cracking good read

Reviewed in Australia on 27 July 2018

Verified Purchase

A terrible topic of child trafficking for sexual exploitation underpins a fast paced investigation by Logan McRae. Familiar characters from previous editions reappear and the bantering is great even if you do have to suspend your disbelief at the behaviour that wouldn't be tolerated in any workplace. Looking forward to the next edition.

So bad

Reviewed in Australia on 23 November 2018

This would be one of the worst boo ks I have ever read. I kept hoping it would improve, it just got worse. The plot was OK but the dialogue between the characters was idiotic and juvinile. Did Stuart MacBride really write it..I wonder

Slipping?

I have loved all these books, except this one. I felt Stuart's heart just wasn't in it! I love the humour normally, but this was just too "try hard". However, I will keep reading them, the characters are like old friends.

Every novel Stuart Macbride writes is better than the last. Pure genius, with lovely black humour. Highly recommended but start with the first Logan book if you can.

How can anyone describe this as dull, boring, puerile, silly etc; is it distaste for the subject matter? Overworked and understaffed Inspector Logan (!) is given two seemingly simple cases whilst the rest of the constabulary are involved with child abduction, drug raids, a G7 type meeting etc and of course get nowhere and, equally of course, Logan solves the cases and gets injured again. Customary speedy plot, silly nicknames and childish humour what’s not to like? Roll on the next one.

There's a always a dreicht period when you finish your new Logan knowing it'll be another 2 years before the new one. I don't know how Stuart Mc Bride does it but the blood road just ad exciting and enjoyable than rhe other Logan novels. Enter the building pass Gary don't even rhink of asking him for a cup of tea or one of his biscuits and there you are right in the novel becausr that is Stuart MacBride Logan Macrea novels for you. You don't sit reading them instead you are there propulsed in Aberdeen feeling the rain and hoping Steel will like you because you're there. Dear author please keep them coming. Aberdeen would syrely die if you took awsy our Logan et al

Anne bonny book reviews

Logan Vs Battleaxe Steele and the dark humour are everything I have come to love about this series. 5*

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 July 2018

Verified Purchase

The Blood Road is the latest in the Logan McRae series. It revolves around the murder of DI Duncan Bell. The only problem is Bell died two years ago and was buried with full police honours. So where has Bell been? And who is currently in his grave?

‘Why would Ding Dong fake his own death?’

The police are currently under the midst of a media frenzy, due to a local child abduction case. Ellie Morton (4yrs) has gone missing and she becomes the first in a long line of vulnerable kids going missing from Scottish streets. Who is taking these kids? And why?

Logan must tackle the Bell case and begins with Bell’s former police partner DS Rose Savage. Coincidentally their last case together was that of a child abduction. Aiden MacAuley (3yrs) went missing and was never seen again.
Whilst Logan begins the proceedings to exhume the Bell’s grave. He must also dodge Roberta Steele. Something which is written with brilliant humour, despite the dark themes within the novel.

Logan must dig into past cases and risks ruffling the feathers of present police detectives. But to get justice for the victim’s Logan must ask questions.

There are various spin-off threads within the novel. The author has a clever way of leading you to believe you have it all figured out, only to pull the rug from under you!
I really enjoyed this edition, to an already outstanding series.
Logan Vs Battleaxe Steele and the dark humour are everything I have come to love about this series. 5*

Well worth the wait!

Been an ardent fan of Stuart's books for YEARS. Never been disappointed, but knowing this to be the penultimate volume of Logan's adventures I am rather melancholy. Two points though: Like the Aberdeen Tourist Board, would be nice to have a rain free glorious sunshine episode. Rainfall in Aberdeen is under the mean average for Scotland; and, we Scots use flannels not facecloths. Loved meeting you in London earlier this year, and earlier at Norwich. Hope you get down here again, and soon. And, thank you for all your incredible writing!

Maybe the best one yet!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 December 2018

Verified Purchase

I've read all the Logan books, and whilst I've enjoyed them all to varying degrees, I have felt like a couple of the more recent ones weren't quite up to scratch for my tastes. "The Blood Road" however, is extremely good, possibly my favourite of all of them. The subject matter is certainly distressing, but brilliantly handled. The action scenes, as always, are superbly written and the dialogue is cracking! Look forward to the next one!
