About this listen
The Unburied Dead introduces Thomas Hutton, the coarse, melancholic, drink-fuelled, sex-addicted police sergeant Tartan Noir has been waiting for.
A killer stalks the streets of Glasgow, his attacks bestial in their ferocity. The police are lost, and soon, as the past begins to haunt them, they themselves become targets. Step forward Detective Sergeant Hutton, adrift in a sea of love, lust, deception, alcohol and murdered colleagues. And lost though he is, the dead will not rest, the past will not be buried, and Hutton must find the answers before the killer strikes again....

Excellent
I was wary when reading reviews about this book and I am glad that I took the plunge and purchased it on audible.
So glad I have found this author and the character DS Hutton. Some reviews are a bit too serious. I found the storyline excellent. Very gruesome in parts and Hutton's character definitely has flaws, bear in mind it is fiction though! Listening to Hutton telling the story is so funny. He is a bit of a chauvinist. However, by the end of the book I found him to be a very likeable character. The humour is just brilliant. The story overall is very well written. The narrator brings all of the characters to life.
I have already purchased the second book in the series and I am looking forward to listening to it.

Very well made police story
Gritty, harsh, and graphic at times. Good story. Lots of who done it questions. Well made.

Great narrator
Not for me. I did listen to the whole story, but won't be following the next book.
Too misogynistic for my taste.

I’m not sure what negative reviews are about …
I can see that the sometimes somewhat explicit references to the many conquests of the hero detective may offend, but taken as a whole the book works quite well as a who done it. Good pace. Engaging characters. A good enough plot resolution. I do think, on a purely procedural point, that senior officers would have intervened fairly quickly when police officers began to be systematically slain. Perhaps that is what others object to. Who knows? I must say that I do not feel anxious to seek out more material by the author. That may change.

It’s just ok, saved by the narrator.
A plethora of thoroughly unlikeable characters, and I expect that’s the point. A story with good potential, a little too gratuitous in parts, and the narrator does a good enough job with the material, and really helped me persevere with the story. I won’t be rushing to listen to the next one.

Not for my taste
Seems to be too much going on about tangent things and people, their personal lives, rather than focus on the story. Also, too much erotic contenct in just start of the listen. Overload of all this obscures the story that might be good, but I can't listen to it.
