Story
The Granite City's seedy side is about to be exposed.... A serial rapist is leaving a string of tortured women behind him, but while DS Logan McRae's girlfriend, PC Jackie 'Ball Breaker' Watson, is out acting as bait, he's trying to identify a blood-drenched body dumped outside Accident and Emergency. Logan's investigations suggest someone in the local bondage community has developed a taste for violent death, and he soon finds himself dragged into the twilight world of pornographers, sex-shops and S&M.

Story
Stephen Berry is about to jump off a bridge until a suicide prevention counsellor stops him. A week later, Stephen is dead. Found at the bottom of a cliff, DI Luc Callanach and DCI Ava Turner are drafted in to investigate whether he jumped or whether he was pushed.... As they dig deeper, more would-be suicides roll in: a woman found dead in a bath; a man violently electrocuted. But these are carefully curated deaths – nothing like the impulsive suicide attempts they’ve been made out to be.

Summary
The number one best-selling detective series from the award-winning Stuart MacBride continues in this second crime thriller.
It's summertime in Scotland: the sun is shining, the sky is blue and people are dying....
It's summertime in the Granite City: the sun is shining, the sky is blue and people are dying....
It starts with Rosie Williams, a prostitute, stripped naked and beaten to death down by the docks - the heart of Aberdeen's red light district. For DS Logan McRae, it's a bad start to another bad day.
Rosie won't be the only one making an unscheduled trip to the morgue. Across the city six people are burning to death in a petrol-soaked squat, the doors and windows screwed shut from the outside.
And despite Logan's best efforts, it's not long before another prostitute turns up on the slab....

Really good second novel
Sometimes with series of books I find the first one excellent so really look forward to reading the next one and it ends up being a bit of a disappointment, but not this one, certainly not!! Some more than gory bits if you don’t like that sort of thing, and a couple of times I could’ve slapped one or two of the protagonists because their behaviour seems way out of line, but as a whole I liked most of the police officers and some really nice hissy villains. And some quite funny bits.
A darn good “read” and looking forward to number 3!!

So Scottish Noir. So well crafted.
There have been a slew of Scottish Crime novels in recent years, some great and some completely fail to approach the benchmark set by Rankin.
This has everything. Good cops, bad cops intelligence, three dimensional characters and you're still guessing right to the last. A dry line in black humour relieves what would be unbearable anguish. Although the central character, Logan Macrae is at the heart of the story, the whole team have their parts to play and all too human and acceptable failings. Move over Scandi noir for this stand out achievement.

A good second book roll on book 3!
I'm enjoying this series of Logan McRae books. As with the first book it can be a little gruesome in places, but there are some light moments too.
Logan McRae is a likeable character but has a lot to put up with as he's constantly pulled between two senior officers, trying to solve several different cases including a serial killer who's beating and murdering prostitutes. An arsonist indiscriminately (or so it seems) setting fires, screwing doors shut, and killing the innocent families inside. There's also drug dealing and missing persons to solve.
Despite the incompetence and abrasive attitude of Detective Inspector Steel Logan eventually gets there in the end.
Steven Worsley's narration is very good and gives each character substance.
Stuart Macbride is certainly a good crime thriller writer and I'm ready for book 3.
Recommended.

The this book is grim in parts but I didn't find it off putting. The plot is interesting, the main character is likeable and believable and the book is well paced. The narrator is very good and I will certainly listen to more books in this series.

Steel always steals the show
Would you listen to Dying Light again? Why?
Yes. I love the Stuart MacBride series. The books are fast paced and the characters excellently developed. I am still plowing through the series, but if I went back and reread I'd probably find things I missed the first time. Plus, although the main character is great, I'd read them all over again just for DI Steel
What other book might you compare Dying Light to and why?
This series is pretty stand out for me. I've not read such a gritty and humorous crime series like this before where I could compare it to anything else.
Any additional comments?
I see on Goodreads that people knock DI Steel, but I find her the best character. She's horrendously brazen and obtuse. She's the funniest interruption in the series and underneath all her scratching, threats and bullying her heart comes through like a beacon. I normally read though a book or a series and the characters are just that, but Steel is probably my favorite character of any books that I have read - and I AM ALWAYS listening to books. To Mr. MacBride - please don't ever kill her off as she brings a fantastic element to your series.

I don’t understand the complaints of graphic content.
That’s like buying a wood stove, opening it, and then being upset that it’s too hot. You know what to expect (or at least what ballpark it’s in) with the genre. So stick to your Murder She Wrote or Perry Mason.
That said, Stuart MacBride does it again. Not as good as the debut but still very enjoyable. I will def continue the Logan McRae series.

Not for me
I thought the protagonist was immature and insecure, always blaming himself and apologizing. And groaning--seriously! More colorful and varied expressions of frustration would have been appreciated, but no, bloody this and bloody that. His boss in this episode was so disgusting and ever present that i could almost smell her chain smoked cigarettes. I dont do torture (violence porn), so had to do some fast forwarding.

I Tried
Logan is the shining star of the police force. Violence, violence, violence. Logan screws up. Someone/everyone is mad at Logan or each other. Violence, violence, violence. Logan is about to get sacked. Logan feels bad. Insert Keystone Kop behavior. Logan saves the day.
IMO if the story/characters lack depth by the end of the 2nd book it’s time to move on.

Very Disappointing
I try to avoid being negative, but am very disappointed with the 2nd Logan McRea novel. My problem comes from the language which seems to be one long run of curses and constant use of the "F" word. There may be people somewhere who talk like this, but I have never met any of them. It just distracts from the story when every sentence of dialogue is loaded with foul language.
Sadly I think I am finished with Logan McRae. There are too many other novels to choose from.

Disturbing descriptions of very gritty story
I did finish this Book but found I needed to fast forward through almost all of the disgusting descriptions of body decay and nasty ally ways filled with dead rats and used condoms. Not to mention the descriptions of some of the character"s physical attributes. Would I read it again NO. But I did want to see how it ended to see if I knew who most of the villains were and I did.
So good story but way to gritty for me to just enjoy. Not for the sensitive stomach turning type of reader which I seem to be.
It does not give a kind look at Scotland's police or the city of Aberdeen. So be warned read at your own risk.

Stuart MacBride brings New to Crime fiction!
Like most Ami’s, I don’t know much about some of the better European countries. Scotland is def’ly one such. Okay, Mr. MacBride’s stuff is plus-sized edgy. If you can handle the brief forays into gruesome criminal actions, the rest is the best. Logical stories, compelling characters, excellent mood and terrain (if that makes sense?) I read #10 of his McRae series first, and bought all remaining full length w/out wasting credits (they’re currently less expensive than a credit, so it makes sense to pay cc for them.) Dying Light is #2 in series and the baddies are BAD. Evil Edinburgh’s “Mac the Knife” kingpin is still only being represented by trusted thugs in Aberdeen. Two in the series down, ten (so far) to go. I plan on consuming all of them since I bought them. [if one likes interesting crime drama series, here’s a plug for Jacqueline Winspear’s Maisie Dobbs, war, crime, period piece, historical fiction. ]
