A review by vivelelivre
Bred in the Bone by Christopher Brookmyre

5.0

I do not enjoy writing reviews no matter how much I like or dislike books. But this absolute CRACKER has to be praised. Every book in this series was amazing and they all lead up to this masterpiece. If everything in the other books was not plotted to lead up to this resolution I will be equally impressed with the magic it took to tie up every disparate strand and hinted secret. My only fear is that now that near perfection has been achieved Mr. Brookmyre will not feel the need to continue this series. Please do not let this be so. I need more Sharp and McLeod. I was SO late to this party. Perhaps the forced isolation of COVID 19 can spark a renewed interest in these formidable female leads for the talented (yes, I am attempting to butter you up for a sequel!) writer.
I must also mention that I listened to these riveting thrillers on Audible and Hilary McLean was a fantastic voice actor. She really brought the characters to life for me. I will be seeking other projects of hers as well as Mr. Brookmyre’s other titles.
I can not recommend this entire series enough.
