About this listen
DS Logan McRae and the police in Aberdeen hunt a child killer who stalks the frozen streets.
Winter in Aberdeen: murder, mayhem and terrible weather…
It’s DS Logan McRae’s first day back on the job after a year off on the sick, and it couldn’t get much worse. Three-year-old David Reid’s body is discovered in a ditch: strangled, mutilated and a long time dead. And he’s only the first. There’s a serial killer stalking the Granite City and the local media are baying for blood.
Soon the dead are piling up in the morgue almost as fast as the snow on the streets, and Logan knows time is running out. More children are going missing. More are going to die. And if Logan isn’t careful, he could end up joining them.

A harrowing series of tales woven in and out of each other. Very well written.
Wish this was the unabridged version.

I've never read Cold Granite before but you can easily tell where sections have been omitted for this abridged version. Disheartening really that you're missing out on bits of the story. Surely no bits that are key to the plot, but no doubt some of the finer details and jokes that would add just that extra bit to really show the novel for what it is; the classic that this version is not.
If speculation is correct, that it was abridged in order that John Sessions' fee could be covered, I deem that not worth it. His performance is fine, though his Aberdonian accent is severely lacking; accompanied by his mispronunciation of several place names. James Macpherson, (who narrates Ian Rankin's books) would have done a job on par with Sessions at, no doubt, a cost which would have enabled the whole book to be available here.
That being said, this is a suberb book you can't afford not to read if crime is your genre of choice! I completed it in a day.
Superb read, horrendously abridged
