This is a great book by a really talented author. Brookmyre and MacBride are among the best of the Tartan Noir authors. This book isn't as funny as MacBride although still funny in spots but the plot and the characters are every bit as good.
Three words of warning:
1) The book has been re-titled in the US. It's British title is "Flesh Wounds".
2) Although not strictly necessary, you would probably be better off reading "Where the Bodies are Buried" before you read this. It explains a lot of the relationships that "Bred in the Bone" takes for granted.
3) It's not "Trainspotting" (which is unreadable if you don't know Scotland really well) but it probably helps to have some understanding of Scottish culture and slang.
