In The Cold, Cold Ground by Stuart MacBride
Logan McRae series Book #10
4★'s
From The Book:
Trouble is coming…Sergeant Logan McRae’s team find a body dumped in the woods – but is it the missing businessman they’ve been searching for, or something far more sinister? It doesn’t help that his ex-boss is taking over the case, a new Superintendent has it in for him, and Professional Standards are looming.
Even worse: Aberdeen’s criminal overlord, Wee Hamish Mowat, is dying and rival gangs all over the UK are eyeing his territory. There’s a war brewing and Logan’s trapped right in the middle, whether he likes it or not.
My Thoughts:
Stuart MacBride is one of my many favorite authors and Logan McRae is one of my many favorite series. Usually the series and the book would rate much higher with me than a mere 4 stars...but this book was on again-off again with me. Logan has always had problems with his boss, Chief Inspector Steel...but she is really over the top with undeserved attitude in this one. It became boring reading the back and forth bickering between not only her and Logan but the entire team. The story started off with an unidentified body that Logan and his team were investigating and that was interesting but then the story just went off in so many different directions that it lost the entire story line. Whenever it would pick up again with the investigation... I would begin to think that it had hope of being the great stories that this series has always been. A little more than half the book was very good and for that it gets the 4 stars. Better luck with the next one.
