Worst in series - By: R. Ward, 23 Sep 2008 
This is the worst book in the series, the others alll deserve 5 stars but this one lacked the humour & credibility I have become used to from Stuart Macbride. The team are on a twenty year serial killer case but favourite character DI Steel doesn't appear enough & an ending that borders on ridiculous makes this one just an average read. Only worth it to keep your collection complete.
Flesh House - By: Catherine, 09 Sep 2008 
What a disappointment! It was not up to his usual standard. Perhaps his agent was "hurrying him up".
3 great novels ....then this - By: J. MacPhee, 06 Sep 2008 
I loved his first three books, gory & funny at the same time, but this was just streching credibility a little too far. An unbelievable plot from start to finish...what a shame
And then some - By: Mr. P. Waters, 26 Aug 2008 
A little bit more far fetched than the other three (especiallly the ending) & not as 'unguessable' but still riveting.
Also compelling was the way DI Insch bursts into Grampian Police folklore with the unfortunate sequence of events that leads to his fantastic demise... But will he Bounce back?
Strange how Logan's alternative love interest, built up in previous books, did not get much of a mention at alll here (only in despatches)... Not that I'm in to the soppy stuff (or I wouldn't read Macbride!) but for continuity purposes it would have been nice if he'd seen to her at some point.
Can't wait for 'Blind Eye'... Intrigued already!
fUNNY, BUT UNREMITTINGLY GRIM - By: Patrick Hodson, 24 Aug 2008 
The Aberdeen Tourist Board must have collective heart failure every time a novel by Stuart Macbride is published. It's always raining, the streets are overrun with deranged serial killers, & the Grampian Police is full of lazy, backbiting incompetents who never miss an opportunity to put the boot into the long suffering hero DS Logan Macrae. Yet 'Flesh House', Macbride's latest, is a very exciting read, a real page turner, & certainly not to be read last thing at night. It's extremely gruesome & there's no let-up as the unremittingly grim events unfold. I just hope the plot & characters lighten up a bit in Macbride's next book which I eagerly await.
