Firstly, if you suffer from a delicate or nervous disposition, A Song for the Dying is certainly not the book for you.
MacBride is a renowned writer of crime fiction and this is the second book starring Detective Inspector Ash Henderson.
Fans of tartan noir will devour this fast-paced and in places shocking criminal thriller, but it’s graphic and sometimes gory descriptions of the terrible crimes committed are sure to be a step too far for many and often seem unnecessary to the plot.
That said, this is still a great story with some well thought out plot lines and really well-developed characters.
A Song for the Dying, by Stuart MacBride, published by Harper Collins, £16.99.
