About this listen

Hogmanay. New Year's Eve. A dead teenager, another missing. One hell of a case.

Meet DS Vicky Dodds. Settling down for a nice Hogmanay with her daughter and her best friend, a phone call pulls DS Vicky Dodds into work and to a deadly new case.

A teenage girl, her body cooling in a cold, dark supermarket car park. Found next to her friend’s car, but the driver’s missing too—has the killer taken her? Or is she the killer?

As the clock ticks down, Vicky digs deep as she investigates Dundee’s grim underbelly, and shows real blood and guts as she cuts through the lies of teenagers and a colleague’s furious rage in her pursuit of the truth.

In a revised 2024 edition, BLOOD & GUTS introduces the explosive crime thriller series from bestselling author, Ed James, one of Scottish crime fiction’s grittiest writers. Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, JD Kirk, James Oswald and Stuart MacBride.

Excellent

Great narrator as always but took me a while to get used to the different detective. A decent story and I will try second book.

A New Detective

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Very slow poor storyline - certainly no "blood and guts" a definitely misleading title. Not recommended.

Unexciting

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Found it very hard to care about any of these characters. An unbelievable amount supposedly happens in a very short tim and got confused in the implausible storyline.The text is littered with clichés and terrible syntax eg "it was harder to get him to not play than not" ?! Reads like a very first draft. Won't be bothering with anything else from this author.

Slow and poorly written

Reached the end of the story and found no blood and guts at all... where is the story for this title?

Very slow and very disappointing from Ed, not sure if I'll listen to the others, incase the title deception is the same.

Angus is the only good thing about this book.

Blood and guts?
