Mystery Book Review

Dying Light
By Stuart Macbride

A police procedural set in Aberdeen, Scotland; Stuart Macbride has been compared to Ian Rankin and Denise Mina.

Detective Sergeant Logan MacRae is in trouble again. This time he gets assigned to the “screw-up squad” investigating six people murdered by arson and a prostitute beaten to death. D.I. Steel, head of the homicide squad, ignores the rest of her screw-ups and works D.S. MacRae overtime to the anger of Logan’s girlfriend, a police constable on medical leave with a broken arm. Gritty and dark, the story moves along rapidly.
