Dying Light by Stuart Macbride.

Jade Rating: 4/5.

A solid read and a real page turner. MacBride's humour keeps the book flowing and will make you laugh out loud in many places. The plot is interesting and the author pays attention to detail, knitting the story together neatly as you proceed though the book. You really feel like you know the characters, and the story approaches the dark subject matters of underage prostitution, drug use, murder and the criminal underworld with good taste. Not a chapter in the book which leaves you bored and not wanting to read on. I would have liked the relationship between DS McRae and DI Steel to have been wrapped up a little better at the end as so much of the plot revolves around it, I think I personally needed more closure towards the end. Still, a highly recommended read.
