About this listen
From the number-one best-selling author of The Missing and the Dead comes the short novel 22 Dead Little Bodies; two short stories: 'Stramash' and 'DI Steel's Bad Heir Day'; and a novella: The 45% Hangover, all featuring his most popular characters - DS Logan McRae and DCI Roberta Steel.
They say 'small is beautiful', but as Stuart MacBride demonstrates in these four tales, it can also be dark, violent, disturbing, and sometimes really quite rude. So pour yourself a wee dram, curl up on the sofa and enjoy DS Logan McRae and his sometime boss, friend, mother substitute, and nemesis, DCI Steel, at their best.
Here you'll find Logan's week from hell; Steel's own personal nightmare before Christmas; an explosive shootout on a remote Scottish island; and the ultimate test of their relationship....

Critic reviews
"Another from MacBride's fantastic series of Logan McRae novels. A real page-turner." ( Sunday Mirror)
"Stuart's meticulous research shows. At times it feels like you are sitting in the back of a police car overhearing conversations between real policemen." ( Sunday Sport)
"Another riveting page-turner...emotional and affecting." ( Independent on Sunday)
"Skilful storytelling...strong characterisation...both intriguing and engrossing." (Laura Wilson, Guardian)
"The multiple plots move fast." ( Independent)
"MacBride is the natural heir to the late and much lamented Reginald Hill." (Andrew Taylor, Spectator)
"MacBride is a damned fine writer - no one does dark and gritty like him." (Peter James)
"Fierce, unflinching and shot through with the blackest of humour; this is crime fiction of the highest order." (Mark Billingham)
"Some of the grittiest crime-writing in the field." ( Independent)
"Admirers of tough, modern crime novels will be in seventh heaven - or should that be hell?" ( Express)
"Ferocious and funny." (Val McDermid)
"Hard-hitting prose with a bone-dry humour and characters you can genuinely believe in, Stuart MacBride's novels are a real treat." (Simon Kernick)

Another gem
Hadn't read or listened to any Stuart McBride books until 12 Days of Christmas. Again, excellent stories and well narrated, may not be everyone's cup of tea ...but for me...witty and gritty

Fantastic as always.
Another corker of a book by Stuart MacBride. This is a collection of short stories but still packs a punch being both gritty and hilarious in equal parts. A credit well spent in my opinion.

Auntie Roberta at her finest
I have read this book many, many times and have also bought the Audible version. It's very favourite 'go to' book if I'm having a bad day. Bad Heir Day is hilarious, Steve Worsley's Steel is superb!! 22 Dead Little Bodies is sad and heartbreaking in places but I highly recommend this and I'm sending grateful thanks to Stuart and Steve, who quite honestly lift my mood after an awful day at work

Another winner
The combination of Macbride and Worsley have done it again, I know that I am going to so enjoy every story, I'm slowly working my way through them.
