Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Starred Review. Not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach, MacBride's superbly unsettling fourth novel (after Bloodshot) sets Det. Sgt. Logan McRae on the trail of a serial killer in Aberdeen, Scotland. When human remains are discovered first in a shipping container and later in a local butcher shop, McRae's superiors send him to round up Kenneth Wiseman (aka the Flesher), who terrorized the city 20 years earlier but was released on a technicality. Det. Insp. David Insch, who was part of the original Wiseman investigation, is determined to see the man behind bars. But when tragedy strikes, leaving Insch teetering on the edge of throwing away his entire career, McRae realizes that the police have been looking in the wrong direction. As more body parts turn up, McRae must fit the grisly pieces together before time runs out. MacBride's dry wit turns what could have been a gratuitously gory slasher story into a crackling thriller.

Review

Praise for Stuart MacBride

“MacBride fills his Aberdeen fun house with hearty, clever, and usually profane humor that lightens every chapter. . . . As Ian Rankin’s long-running crime series begins to sound like a leaky bagpipe, Scottish writers such as MacBride arise to take up the kilt-waving in earnest.”
—Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Bloodshot

“MacBride deftly blends a suspenseful storyline and subversive wit. . . . MacBride offsets the grim goings-on with a cast of irrepressible characters whose banter is bawdy and crime-solving talents sublime.”
—Booklist (starred review) on Bloodshot

“Vivid . . . With a dose of sharp wit, MacBride effortlessly interweaves the plot strands while conjuring up three-dimensional characters.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Bloodshot

“What is there in the Scottish air that makes its new writers among the best in the business?”
—Chicago Tribune on Dying Light

“McRae is an interesting and subtle detective, and his investigation is both inventive and imaginative.”
—The Dallas Morning News on Cold Granite

4.0 out of 5 stars Plot Grips ... and Bites!, Sep 2 2008
By Dave and Joe "De Video Darlings" (Toronto, Ontario) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Flesh House (Hardcover)
Stuart MacBride is a favourite author in that he has amazing pacing and incredible humour. This guy is funny. The plot, as always, is gripping and gruesome. These are amazing mysteries that leave schlock slick shows like CSI in the dust. My only concern with the book was with the author's treatment of one of the characters Insch. In every book his weight has been subject for humour, it always worked. In this book the humour became mean - in places, cruel. It affected how I think about the book and how I think of the author. He always walked a fine line in his other books and this would be, in my opinion, his first misstep. Even so, prepared for that, give this book a go. Not for the faint-hearted.

2.0 out of 5 stars quiet a boring read, Feb 3 2010
By Mehdi Khass - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Flesh House (Paperback)
the end of this book was somewhat deceiving, but unexpected nonetheless. It shamefully lacks character development, specifically for the character of DI Steel which gets very annoying by the end of this book.
On another note, don't read it if you're too squeamish, the killings are very graphic and every chapter has its fair share of extreme gore.
I might read other books of McBride, but Flesh house remains a lackluster in my opinion
