A Song for the Dying by Stuart MacBride

5.0

This is the second book in the Ash Henderson series, with alot more to come i hope. Ash in his new role as a "civilian" consultant comes in full force to help the police find a serial killer that he had let escape years before. Very good book, love the characters, and Ash is awesome in this one, a real hard ass and he dont care who he upsets, well except for Wee Free McFee that is, who is the crazy father of one of the victims. Very dark and dreary book, which is why i like the Ash books so well, MacBride doesnt try and sugar coat everything and make it all happy happy in the end, sometimes the world dont work that way and he pulls it off here. Rather long book, 500+ pages, could have been a 100 or so shorter and still been a hell of a book. Really liked the passage in the book with the quote from the poem A Song for the Dying by william Denner.
