In a Place of Darkness

A new book from Stuart MacBride is always something to look forward to, so I was like a child on Christmas morning when this latest offering landed in my kindle.
In a Place of Darkness could aptly describe the setting of the book, as we return to Oldcastle, where the rain is incessant.
The first person we meet is Detective Constable Angus MacVicar. He's fresh out of uniform and has now joined Department O, who are on the hunt for the Fortnight Killer, so dubbed because he, well that's self explanatory.
Being part of the team means babysitting forensic profiler Dr. Jonathan Fife, on loan from the FBI.
In a Place of Darkness is dark, but MacBride's trademark humour helps to alleviate some of that darkness.
It's a long book, but oh so worth travelling down that long and windy road with Angus, especially for that explosive finale. Action packed, and with characters that you will either love, or love to hate, all in all it's a cracking great read.
