The Coffinmaker's Garden

In **The Coffinmaker’s Garden** by **Stuart MacBride**, a vicious storm tears at Scotland’s coast—and threatens to expose what Gordon Smith has buried in his crumbling seaside home. It’s a grimly compelling **crime thriller** that mixes relentless tension with MacBride’s sharp-edged wit.

With the house collapsing into the sea, the evidence is vanishing by the hour. No-one can safely search the wreck, leaving investigators guessing how many victims there are, and whether the killer has already moved on. As the body count rises, ex-detective Ash Henderson steps back into the fray, driven less by rules than by the need to stop what’s coming next.

Perfect for readers who enjoy **serial killer fiction**, **Scottish noir**, dark humour, and tightly plotted police procedurals with a strong sense of place.

Add this one to your stack if you like your mysteries unsettling, fast, and hard to put down.
