si0bhan's review against another edition
4.0
Upon finding out there was a police procedural set in Aberdeen, a city I knew well, I knew I would have to be all over those books. I enjoy such books wherever they are set, but having them based in a city I know makes it all the more fun. Thus, I went in with high hopes.
Fortunately, I was not disappointed.
MacBride’s books are filled with a dark humour that is right up my street. Giving a realistic take on the police force, having them dealing with multiple crimes throughout the book, pulling me in right from the start. Everything about these books appealed to me. The multiple layers to the crime. The way he sets the scene. The realistic characters. The humour.
I could rant and rave all day, but it all comes down to one simple fact: these books should not be missed.
