That's good, I thought you would like them.  :yahoo:

The Scots accent they are read in is easy on the ear but I suspect doesn't add to the authenticity for Scots as I doubt it is Aberdonian by a long chalk.

As I read the Logan McrRae books I can't help wondering if Stuart MacBride based Steel on a real person. For some reason in my mind's eye I see Anne Hegerty when reading of Steel. Doubtless Anne would be mortified.

More in line with the thread title I see that Stephen Tompkinson who played Banks is up before the break for GBH and claiming self defence.

It'll be an interesting case since the guy he hit didn't know what had happened until he came out a coma a few days after the assault.

The neighbour is a witness and from what I read it sounds like DCI Banks is in trouble.

I saw Stephen Tompkinson on the news yesterday.  He's so thin! Stress related perhaps.

On the book topic, I've got the latest MacBride from the library, The Dead of Winter.  Its a standalone, I've not started it yet, just finishing the latest Jack Reacher tale. 
Its not how old you are, but how you are old. 💖

I have that on my phone but haven't listened to it yet - finishing off my Mcrae and Hegerty stories first  :grin:

Is the Reacher story The Secret? I checked and found I was missing No Plan B as an audiobook but The Secret isn't in my normal audiobook emporium yet.

Found why I don't see it...

TBH I was finding that the Reacher books were becoming very sameish and still have some on my phone unread as yet.

GrannyMac

No, its No Plan B.  They have become sameish. I didn't know about The Secret. 👍🏽

must say I was quite shocked at his appearance - still, I suppose going through that sort of trauma hardly leaves one feeling chipper
Thank you for the days, the days you gave me

He does look a 'bit rough' doesn't he !

GrannyMac

Gaunt, I thought. Having to wait so long to have a case heard must be tough.

'Gaunt' outdoes "bit rough" every time GM  :upvote:   :grin:  :grin:  :grin:

Bit rough can pass by tomorrow. Looking like he does he could himself.  :sad:
