Professor Wilson an high profile anti-independence campaigner has gone missing, leaving nothing but bloodstains behind. There’s a war brewing between the factions for and against Scottish Nationalism. Infighting in the police ranks. And it’s all playing out in the merciless glare of the media. Someone is making a point, and they are making it in blood. Logan’s superiors want results, and they want them now. What I thought very funny is the fact that everybody in the book keeps complaining about the weather. It is 26 degrees! The call it tropical. I would call it a perfect day - but it was a nice change from reading about endless rain. So, what are you waiting for? Go out and get a copy of this book (and the rest of the books in the series)...
This is the 12th book in the Logan McRae series by author Stuart MacBride. I have read all of these books but could easily be read as a stand alone. The Logan McRae series is set in Aberdeen. The smoky tang of whisky catches in his nostrils as they step in close, their breath warm against his cheek. Experience beautiful, pioneering visual and digital art, live performance and empathetic conversation during Learn about Mexican Day of the Dead traditions and contribute objects to an immersive public Ofrenda to celebrate those you have loved and lost.Overall, All of us are dead succeeds at being grim, comedic, and emotional all at the same time. Definitely a neat addition to the zombie/survival genre. Looks like another Netflix hit from South Korea.
The poem focuses on manifesting Yeats' new stance of exploring his political mind and celebrating those whom he believes are worthy of praise. Notably, in all four of the refrains, Yeats mentions John O'Leary, who was an Irish separatist 'of a different kind'. O'Leary's political stance was much less self-interested than many of his contemporaries, as he instead focused on getting the greatest good for Ireland. It is clear through the poem that Yeats admires this and wishes for a return to the less egotistical and self-driven politics of a bygone era. Yeats does, however, appear to question whether these great historical figures, whom he admired and previously emulated in the style of his earlier work, are comprehensive in their understanding of the world in which they lived. Hapless Logan finds himself and his team working with DI King to chase down the identity of the abductor before the Professor dies. Along the way we have grizzly mutilations and murders with a suspected serial killer. I had the pleasure to listen to the audiobook by a narrator with a Scottish accent and I loved it! It managed to bring Stuart MacBride’s humour and beautiful writing to life like I wouldn’t be able to do it myself by simply reading. I would like to thank Netgalley and HarperCollins UK, HarperFiction for an advance copy of All That’s Dead, the twelfth novel to feature DI Logan MacRae of Police Scotland. Scotland's historic battle with England over its self-determination and its 21st-century implications are important in this plot, which has many twists. The clues are there, you just need to widen your perspective to see them.Well this may be the twelfth in the series but it is a new one to me and I really need to catch up on the earlier books. I found this to be an enthralling, occasionally humorous and enthralling read, a brilliant crime thriller with fantastic characters and plenty of twists to keep me guessing!
This is an extremely complex and gruesome case, but Stuart MacBride always manages to lighten the atmosphere a little with spades full of humour, and some brilliant one liners, especially from DS Roberta Steel. Another absolutely unmissable read from the extremely gifted Mr MacBride! The cast are fantastic and everyone shines. I love that they're actually young actors cast as high schoolers (Hollywood take some notes!). As well as reading the book, I listened to an audio recording (which I paid for myself) narrated by Steve Worsley. He was superb, with one of the best ranges of voices which I've encountered. I was never in doubt as to which character I was listening to and whilst some narrators come between the reader and the book, Worsley never does. In fact he makes it more accessible. I've listened to other recordings from this series and Worsley is consistently good throughout. It took me a while to fully get into the story, and to be quite honest, I never truly did. Mostly it’s because the political aspect of the book was not interesting to me, and I was merely into it from the investigation side of things. This is also the only reason I gave this book a 3-star rating. Next up was an elongated spell in Westhill -- a small suburb seven miles west of Aberdeen -- where I embarked upon a mediocre academic career, hindered by a complete inability to spell and an attention span the length of a gnat's doodad.With its fair share of provocative events programmed by Centre for Live Art Yorkshire (CLAY) we hope you’ll laugh ‘til you cry, remember the good times and leave with a lighter heart.
Great Deal
