Cold Granite

Logan McRae, Book 1

By: Stuart MacBride

Narrated by: John Sessions

The very first Logan McRae novel in the No.1 bestselling crime series from Stuart MacBride.

DS Logan McRae and the police in Aberdeen hunt a child killer who stalks the frozen streets.

Winter in Aberdeen: murder, mayhem and terrible weather…

It’s DS Logan McRae’s first day back on the job after a year off on the sick, and it couldn’t get much worse. Three-year-old David Reid’s body is discovered in a ditch: strangled, mutilated and a long time dead. And he’s only the first. There’s a serial killer stalking the Granite City and the local media are baying for blood.

Soon the dead are piling up in the morgue almost as fast as the snow on the streets, and Logan knows time is running out. More children are going missing. More are going to die. And if Logan isn’t careful, he could end up joining them.

Excellent! Stuart MacBride! Fantastic

Grisly gruesome ghastly kidnappings & murders in The Granite City, of Aberdeen Scotland. Lots of twist and turns. The Narration is superb! You won’t put this one down until the spine tingling end!
More! More! More!
UNABRIDGED PLEASE.

Love Logan

I've read a few of the other books in the series but it was great to listen to the first one and learn little things, like why he is called Lazarus- favourite part.

Police procedural with a heart

First of a series and I’m hooked! I loved everything about this book. The characters felt real and it makes me want to read more by this author.

Compelling action. Wonderfully written.

My wife and I couldn't stop listening until story was done. Excellent writing and loved the performance. We are hooked and will be downloading the whole series.

A gripping mystery narrated by a master actor!

This is my first encounter with the Aberdeen police world of Stuart MacBride, and you can count me a covert. The narration by John Sessions you forget the narrator altogether—all you hear is the story as if there were no intermediary. Wonderful!
