Description
In this short tale from Stuart MacBride, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Dead of Winter and the Logan McRae series, sometimes a meal ends with unjust desserts…
"A banquet of blood-drenched laughs and enough action to fuel the whole John Wick series.”—Ian Rankin
"If you like your steak bloody and your stories even bloodier, The Tasting Menu will tickle your palate . . .”—Peter James
Three friends go on a foodie road trip to the Scottish Highlands and Islands to celebrate their pending retirement, expecting stunning scenery, great food, fine wines, and a chance to reminisce about the good old days. When they somehow secure a reservation at a remote and extremely exclusive restaurant set on a private island in Loch Broom, they know they’re in for a once-in-a-lifetime dining experience.
The question is: what is on the menu? Because all is not as it seems. One of the three friends is a killer, one is a liar, and one will do whatever it takes to survive…

From the Publisher
MacBride is a cornerstone of the UK crime-fiction scene—and particularly the Tartan Noir set—for good reason. He has captivated readers for decades with over two dozen books full of sinister, intriguing, imaginative tales, most notably his twelve-book series following Detective Logan McRae, set in the gritty underbelly of Aberdeen. MacBride has numerous awards under his belt and is a regular on the Sunday Times Bestseller List—and it’s not difficult to see why when you delve into “The Tasting Menu.”
If you’re looking for a thrilling, darkly humorous read that will captivate you from start to finish, you need look no further. “The Tasting Menu” centers around three friends who undertake a foodie road trip around the Scottish Highlands to celebrate one of their retirements—but when they luck out and secure a reservation at one of the most exclusive restaurants in Scotland, their journey takes a sinister turn. What—or who—will be served?
“The Tasting Menu” by Stuart MacBride is a must-read; MacBride excels at blending suspense, sharp wit, and a rip-roaring plot, the combination of which had me glued to my seat as I devoured this gloriously horrifying short story in one delicious gulp.
Whether you’re a longtime fan of his work or new to his storytelling, this short story promises an unforgettable, chillingly delightful experience.
