Book Review of The 45% Hangover (Logan and Steel)

The 45% Hangover (Logan and Steel)
kuligowskiandrewt avatar reviewed on + 569 more book reviews


Stuart MacBride has done a marvelous job of creating a series of interesting characters in the employ of the Aberdeen Police Department. He's told their stories in several full-length novels. BUT there are more stories to tell, and MacBride realizes that not all of them require a full-length book to tell.

"The 45% Hangover" is set on the day of the Scotland Independence Referendum. DCI Steel makes no secret of her pro-Independence opinion or rather, obsession. Her professional partner Logan MacRae realizes that criminal activity has not gone on hiatus simply due to nationalistic intensity. In fact, a strong supporter of remaining in the United Kingdom has gone missing ...

Another strong effort by Stuart MacBride although even his weaker material is still better than many/most other writers out there in my opinion.

RATING: 4 1/2 stars, rounded up to 5 stars where 1/2 stars are not permitted.
