Summary

A Sunday Times best seller.

A house of secrets....

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.

A killer on the run....

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.

An investigator with nothing to lose....

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.

Critic reviews

"Stuart MacBride’s deft plotting and whipcrack dialogue, along with a strong sense of place, make The Coffinmaker’s Garden a must read. If you like your serial killers with lashings of dark humour, this is for you." (Peter Robinson, number one best-selling author of the DCI Banks series)

"The Coffinmaker's Garden is brilliantly creepy, with the most cleverly conceived crime scene I've ever read. His legions of fans will love this – it's an unmistakable Stuart MacBride cocktail of dark violence and even darker humour." (Jane Casey, Sunday Times best-selling author of The Cutting Place)

"A brutal, visceral read, laced with the blackest of humour and travelling to some very dark places." (Guardian)

Fantastic!

I really enjoy the Logan McRae stories but these step it up a notch again. The narrator is great as well which can make a huge difference. Highly recommended!

Brilliant Read with excellent narration

There was tension, surprise, humour and a bit of violence, all captured brilliantly by Ian Hanmore's excellent narration. The book would be a great read alone, but Ian's superb delivery just made it come alive.
Very much recommended.

Riveting

As always a a great read and greanaration. Stuart MacBride never fails in delivering a white knuckle adventure, a bit grim in places but Ian Hanmore kept you on the edge of your seat with his articulate narration.

Fabulous - couldn't put it down

An absolutely fantastic book. Couldn't put it down. Listened flat out. Didn't want it to finish. Excellent narrator who adds so much to the story. The characters are so fully described, I feel like I know them all. Next please

Mr Macbride gives you your money's worth

I used to think Mr Macbride was using good writing time not to the best advantage when he writes an Ash Henderson book and he would be better concentrating on Logan McRae books - until now that is. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book and was never bored for one minute. He has his wee jokes with his readers does Mr Macbride - such as the discussion at the book club in a pub when Henderson is trying to get some information from the participants - you'll get it when you read or listen and the great characters in the JMF Freelance Consultants who were almost Dickensian but Mr Macbride chose to name them Francis and Joseph - a hark back to Francie and Josie, two great Scottish comedians of the 1960s 9 ( I think). I spent a lot of time whilst listening with my hands over my eyes and shouting out don't do it to Ash. Mr Macbride left one of his little complications right until the last moment to resolve -- naughty man. A solid 5 out of 5 for this book- I would give more if I could.

Laugh out loud gore and violence

Just loved it. Violent but mitigated by the humour. Characters are great. Where’s the next one please.

Enjoyable murder mystery

Was a very good story, very well read. Some of the violence could have been left out but had some good twists and turns.
