Blood and Guts

DS Vicky Dodds Scottish Crime Thrillers, Book 1

By: Ed James

Narrated by: Angus King

Hogmanay. New Year's Eve. A dead teenager, another missing. One hell of a case.

Meet DS Vicky Dodds. Settling down for a nice Hogmanay with her daughter and her best friend, a phone call pulls DS Vicky Dodds into work and to a deadly new case.

A teenage girl, her body cooling in a cold, dark supermarket car park. Found next to her friend’s car, but the driver’s missing too—has the killer taken her? Or is she the killer?

As the clock ticks down, Vicky digs deep as she investigates Dundee’s grim underbelly, and shows real blood and guts as she cuts through the lies of teenagers and a colleague’s furious rage in her pursuit of the truth.

In a revised 2024 edition, BLOOD & GUTS introduces the explosive crime thriller series from bestselling author, Ed James, one of Scottish crime fiction’s grittiest writers. Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, JD Kirk, James Oswald and Stuart MacBride.

Kept you guessing

Good characters. Really respected & liked. Interesting plot. Well written, logical but complex. Very like JD Kirk

Suspect twists

Kept me interested. Skillfully interlaced plot. Genuine characters.descriptive enough to make you feel like you were there..

Unsure

I always love Angus' narration but this one was a bit off, he has a difficult time with female voices, not so convincing. And there were parts of the story that didn't hang together for me.

I really liked it

I really liked the book .I like the character Vikki as a person and a cop. Angus King was GREAT. I definitely am a Vikki fan. thank you Ed James and Angus King

nothing

for some reason it didn't hold my attention. took a long time to get to the point.
