Histoire
As a massive storm batters the Scottish coast, Gordon Smith’s home is falling into the sea. The trouble is: that’s where he’s been hiding the bodies. It’s too dangerous to go near the place, so there’s no way of knowing how many people he’s murdered. Or how many more he’ll kill before he’s caught. As more horrors are discovered, ex-detective Ash Henderson is done playing nice. He’s got a killer to catch, and God help anyone who gets in his way.

Histoire
From the outside, Glenfarach looks like a quaint, sleepy village, nestled in the heart of Cairngorms National Park, but things aren't what they seem. The place is thick with security cameras, and there's a strict nine o'clock curfew, because Glenfarach is the last safe haven for people who've served their sentences but can't be safely released into the general population. For Detective Constable Edward Reekie, this was supposed to be a simple delivery job—drive his new boss up to HMP Grampian and collect Marky Bishop, take him to Glenfarach, then head back home again.

Histoire
Five years ago his daughter, Rebecca, went missing on the eve of her 13th birthday.

The tabloids call him The Birthday Boy. He’s been snatching girls for 12 years, always in the run-up to their 13th birthday, sending the families his homemade cards showing their daughters being slowly tortured to death.

Description
A gripping stand-alone thriller from the Sunday Times number one best-selling author of the Logan McRae series.
Welcome to the Misfit Mob... It's where Police Scotland dumps the officers it can't get rid of but wants to: the outcasts, the troublemakers, the compromised. Officers like DC Callum MacGregor, lumbered with all the boring go-nowhere cases. So when an ancient mummy turns up at the Oldcastle tip, it's his job to find out which museum it's been stolen from.
But then Callum uncovers links between his ancient corpse and three missing young men, and life starts to get a lot more interesting. O Division's Major Investigation Teams already have more cases than they can cope with, so, against everyone's better judgment, the Misfit Mob are just going to have to manage this one on their own. No one expects them to succeed, but right now they're the only thing standing between the killer's victims and a slow, lingering death. The question is, can they prove everyone wrong before he strikes again?

A great story with gasp-worthy twists and turns
This is a great story. The narrator is terrific (and as an aside, I've learned a bunch of awesome new Scottish expressions and insults - "ye gingery wee twat" made me literally snortlaugh out loud).
The plot twists and turns were so mesmerizing that any excuse served to pop in earbuds and keep listening to see what was next, and at the same time, I really didn't want the story to end.
The protagonist, Callum McGregor, is engaging and so trodden-upon in parts of the book that I wanted to shout at everyone who was treating him badly. His co-workers, who mostly start out being complete a**eholes to him, grew on me so much that I wanted everything to work out for all of them. The bad guys were despicable, the weather grim, everything described in such detail that I could see it in my mind's eye... I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for something engaging and unpredictable.

Deranged and Murder-ey
If you could sum up A Dark So Deadly in three words, what would they be?
Macabre, Clever, Hilarious
Any additional comments?
Meet the Misfit Mob: a senior officer with coronary problems, a haiku-spouting detective sergeant with terminal cancer and a literary bent, a couple more with anger management issues, a recently disabled female DC who calls her wheelchair Keith, and our hero, Callum MacGregor, wrongly accused of corruption, which is just the first and least of his problems.
MacBride packs a lot into this one, and this is the first time I've balked at a few of the plot twists, which were a little hard to swallow, but who cares? The cast is entertainingly quirky, the hero a classicly imperfect good soul in the mold of my beloved Logan MacCrea, the story is character driven, and while the horror is worthy of the latest M Night Shyamalan movie the oh-so-Scottish humor and dialogue kept me listening nonstop and laughing out loud.
True MacBride fans will also savor the nuggets from other books that pop up with a wink and a nod: the return of Alice, (yay!!) mad profiler from the Ash Henderson novels; a band called Halfhead; a records keeper named Winston Smith (check your Orwell), an oil painting of a pear tree (12 Days of Xmas). As His Beardiness Himself would say, it's all deranged and murder-ey. A bit more scrambled than usual but still tasty. Loved it.

Scotland, present day, police procedural, humor, unusual murder, lots of interesting characters. Not especially bloody, I will read more by this author. The narrator adds a rich reading.

Gruesome gory and awful
I hated this book - it went into minute detail of horrible gruesome human torchure and then kept doing it over and over again. I woke up from nightmares and finally quit reading and deleted it when I saw the there were 50 more chapters. Why do authors feel they need to do this to make a book interesting.

Couldn't Finish
What disappointed you about A Dark So Deadly?
The audio volume changes forced me to stop listening. The narrator may nearly whisper for 5 minutes, then break out is a shout that's so loud it's painful. The whispering mostly doesn't make sense; it isn't necessary. The shouting fits with something appropriately noisy in the plot. No idea if this is a narration, sound engineering or personal problem.

Absolutely worth a credit!
Like many audible members, often listening to a book a day, I spend almost as much time reading reviews of recommended if you like this book. While I do not think I would like the MacBride series, sounds too brutal for my tastes, this stand alone has fabulous reviews. I gave it a try, did not find the laugh out loud humor some reviewers stated, however, I did enjoy the dark comedy. Anytime you get a great listen of twenty plus hours, truly good narration, and an exceptional mystery, it is worth a credit, even if, like me, excuse the pun, it is not your cup of tea .

Twists and turns - hold on for the end!
At first I wasn't sure that I was going to like this book; I wasn't sure that I was going to care enough about the characters to invest my time in it. The main character seems, at first, to be mad at the world, depressed, and disgusted with everything. He works with people who don't like him, don't trust him, and take every opportunity to make his life as miserable as possible. And even the universe is conspiring against him. How can you relate to someone like that?
But hold on! The longer I listened, the more I started to realize that underneath that grim exterior was someone who actually believed in the worth and value of (some) of his fellow humans, in spite of his life experience, and who was determined to make the best he could out of some truly unfortunate situations. So by the middle of the book I was firmly on the side of the protagonist...even as he continued to be the butt of the universe's cruelest jokes.
I also truly enjoyed so much of this author's clever and unexpected, but fitting,metaphors. How many times his very original turns of phrase evoked that mental "Oh yeah!" reaction: That in itself was enough to keep me hooked.
So I would advise anyone who starts this book to hang in there - it will be finally and ultimately be time well spent.

Poor Narration Killed the Cat
Steve Worsley was a very poor choice for narrator of this audiobook. His lack of appropriate energy and drive was immediately felt when the book opened with a cop trying to apprehend a violent suspect while at the same time trying to fight off a swarm of young kids trying to rob him. What should have been a suspenseful and humorous scene fell completely flat due to the narrator's inability to convey action and comicality and his lack of skill in using tone and inflection to distinguish between characters. A sadly substandard performance throughout.

Sound modulation makes this un-listenable
I think this might be a pretty fun book. Unfortunately, the sound editing/modulation made this un-listenable for me. I quickly grew tired of having to adjust the volume. Partly the narrator's fault, but I place the blame on the production.

Too Long, Too Depressing, Too Dark, and Uneven Vol
OMG, 21 hours; I skipped five hours (15 to 10) and missed very little
Nothing good happens and the story drags.
Dark and horrible wherever you turn
Found that due to yelling by the narrator, I was frequently changing volume.
Please don't bother with this one
