About this listen

A collection of interlinked tales of crime and retribution laced with dark humour, set around the festive season – from the No. 1 bestseller Stuart MacBride

On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…

Twelve days, twelve stories.

Meet Fat Billy Partridge, possibly the worst cat-burglar ever; newbie drug-dealer Brian, who probably shouldn’t be taking advantage of the job’s fringe benefits; Philippe, a chef with anger-management issues and lots of very sharp knives; Mr Unwin, the undertaker with the golden touch; and Lord Peter Forsyth-Leven, MSP, learning the hard way that having it all means you’ve got so much more to lose…

Thieves, drug dealers, lap-dancers, gangsters and even the odd good guy populate these twelve interlinked tales of crime and retribution set around the festive season.

Critic reviews

Praise for Stuart MacBride:

‘Fierce, unflinching and shot through with the blackest of humour; this is crime fiction of the highest order’
Mark Billingham

‘Some of the grittiest crime-writing in the field’
Independent

‘Admirers of tough, modern crime novels will be in seventh heaven – or should that be hell?’
Express

‘Ferocious and funny, this is Tartan Noir at its best’
Val McDermid

‘Hard-hitting prose with a bone-dry humour and characters you can genuinely believe in, Stuart MacBride’s novels are a real treat’
Simon Kernick

Another slice of very gruesome Tartan Noir! Nice links between stories and the Twelve Days concept works.

I've just finished listening to this book whilst waiting for 'Close to the Bone'. Twelve stories, just the right length, each story so different yet all connect with each other. Stuart MacBride at his very best. Very highly recommended.

Twelve Days of Winter - twelve excellent tales.

This is McBride at his finest. A series of short stories full of black humour, just and unjust desserts. Of course, there are a number of very unpleasant scenes described with a certain amount of relish. If you don’t enjoy that please steer clear. Me, I love it!

Black antidote to Christmas jollity
