The Blood Road is the eleventh book in the bestselling Logan McRae detective series set in Aberdeenshire by Stuart MacBride.

[1] Now working for professional standards as an inspector, McRae is called out to a car crash with the driver dead in the front seat.

[2] He questions the police officer that called him out as to why he is there; she tells him that the driver is Detective Inspector Bell, who they buried two years ago.

Breda Brown, writing in the Sunday Independent, said While the paedophile storyline is stomach churning, the content rings true and is a reminder that evil people do live in the world.

[4]Louise Fairbairn, writing in The Scotsman, described the book as being MacBride's best work to date.
