Resumen del Editor

Not all monsters are make-believe.

When a badly mutilated body washes up on the shores of Loch Ness, DCI Jack Logan's dream of a quiet life in the Highlands is shattered.

While the media speculates wildly about monster attacks, Jack and the Major Investigations Team must act fast to catch the killer before they can strike again.

But with Nessie-hunters descending on the area in their dozens, and an old enemy rearing his ugly head, the case could well turn out to be the most challenging of Jack's career.

And, if he isn't careful, the last.

Death and dark humour combine in this fast-paced Tartan noir crime thriller set in the Highlands of Scotland.

‘DCI Logan is sure to become one of Scotland’s best-loved detectives.’ (Adam Croft)

Fun!

An unbelievable story, but actually one of the things i enjoy most about some good guys vs bad guys books is the comaraderie and humor among the cops. The narrator is so good that it was a better book by audio than if I'd read it, and that's quite unusual for me. Ive looked up Angus King and filled my wish list. It so happens he narrates more books in this genre.

This is another well written, well narrated Logan mystery.
The author is a prankster- you will be scratching your head more than once. The narrator outdoes himself here making the sound of a big old, heavy wooden door open creaking open. I eagerly await Audible's next JD Kirk detective book addition.

witty, surprised by the ending

performance is wonderful, transported me into the book as if I was reading myself. sorry well done and not the ending I expected, which is hard to find.

Another great listen

Not quite as strong as Book 1 but really enjoyable. Hoping Sonead gets a little more story line on the next one.

How many F-bombs were there?

Story was interesting and I liked it. BUT oh my goodness how many times can someone use the F-word?? Seriously! And your first book with Logan, he did not swear that much!! He couldn’t finish a sentence without swearing! There are some of us out here, who don’t need to swear, and then choose other words to use. Like in your first book there you were able to find words, other than F this. Now I’m scared to rent another audio book because of the potential of having swearing every other paragraph.
If you have as much swearing in the third book as you have, and the second book, I will return it. I know there’s nothing that you can do now, because all the books are written. But for future reference when you write more books, please keep this in mind. I did like your storyline and I would like to read more, but if you can’t stay away from the swearing like that, then I can’t buy your books. I know he is a policeman, but I had policeman in my family and they didn’t have to swear to get their point across.

Okay, I'm intrigued.....

This is the second book in this series that I have read and I have to say that I am really, really enjoying getting to see a crime/murder mystery drama placed in the country of Scotland (and READ by a Scot as a narrator). As an American, we are used to "our" way of criminal investigations and it is so freaking refreshing to get to see a completely different way of solving crimes. No - I do not mean that they are any better or worse than our system, but it is different and that is so refreshing.

It is also wonderful to see the small cultural differences, and the small word/product differences in things that we take for granted every day.

I am beginning to really like and respect DCI Logan and I am looking forward to seeing what is yet to come as he moves to his new precinct.

This story was interesting and I can honestly say that I had NO IDEA who the killer actually was until all was revealed. I LOVE that. Surprise me - that is always what I am hoping for and unfortunately, it doesn't happen nearly as much as I would like it to.

So - 2 down, and...well, I don't know how many to go - but I did find this series when the 15th book was launched (that is how I was even made aware of this series), so - I've got a way to go.

Scottish mystery

This was an excellent well paced story with a great cast. Very well told and superbly narrated. I will certainly be reading more in this series.

The least satisfying Jack Logan novel

To start with, the title gives it away.
But other than that, it's not a good plot.
Still, Angus King manages to make it worth listening to,

JD Kirks DCI Logan series well worth listening to!

This is my 3rd book in this series. The characters are well developed and their interactions are very believable and often humorous. The books are suspenseful and make you want to solve them yourself. i highly recommend this author and series and enjoy the Scottish accent of Angus King.

Occultists, demon possession & apotropaic magic

Another wow! When a mutilated body washes up on Loch Ness, speculation wanders between occultists, Nessy, and Russian gangstas. With Logan having moved to the highland for a quieter life, he is greeted with this grizzly murder on this first day. The team of police characters continue to develop and grow more interesting and fun - a great balance of humour, police procedure and drama. After following clues in all directions, Logan and his team come to a stunning, twisty conclusion. As in the first book, Angus King's narration is wonderful!
