About this listen

'MacBride is a masterful storyteller with a terrific eye for detail and razor-sharp wit. THIS HOUSE OF BURNING BONES is an absolute must-read.' – Karin Slaughter, author of This Is Why We Lied

The Granite City is ready to burn, and all it takes is a single spark . . .


In the heat of a blistering summer, Aberdeen’s police are struggling: half the force is off sick, leave has been cancelled, someone’s firebombed a hotel full of migrants, and there’s a massive protest march happening this Saturday.

With officers dropping like flies, Detective Inspector Logan McRae is forced to juggle cases and run a major murder investigation with a skeleton staff of misfits, idiots and malingerers until the top brass can arrange back-up from other divisions.

It doesn’t help that the Aberdeen Examiner has just been bought by Natasha Agapova, a tabloid media tycoon hell-bent on blaming local police for everything. And she’s more than happy to fan the flames.

But, as bad as everything seems, it’s all about to get much, much worse . . .

Critic reviews

Stuart MacBride is an automatic must-read for me . . . always fast, hard, authentic – and different (Lee Child, author of Killing Floor )
Deft plotting and whipcrack dialogue, a must read (Peter Robinson, author of Gallows View )
Brilliantly creepy (Jane Casey, author of A Stranger in the Family )
Ferocious and funny, this is Tartan Noir at its best (Val McDermid, author of Past Lying )
Stuart MacBride is one of the best in the business. Always beautifully written, evocative settings and characters dripping with authenticity and a story you can’t get out of your head. Stuart delivers every single time (Steve Cavanagh, author of Witness 8 )
Hard-hitting prose with a bone-dry humour and characters you can genuinely believe in, Stuart MacBride’s Logan McRae series of novels are a real treat (Simon Kernick, author of You All Die Tonight )
