Only one concern

As usual, this is a great JD Kirk book. However, I was constantly thinking why is Heather getting into all these scrapes? She just seems to make a lot of really stupid decisions. Of course, without those decisions, there would be no book, but I did have a little trouble getting past your poor decisions… the young girl who is her unwanted attendant is a character that should be developed in further books, and possibly become a main character. She was the best thing in the book, although it was all great.

JD Kirk just gets better and better

Great new series, wonderful characters, perfect narration . The story was engaging throughout and the ending (including whodunnit) was very satisfying. I want more of the Heather series!!

good story

narration was the best part..storyline was a lottle uncomfortable at time but that is his style of writing

Another great story by JD Kirk

I was a little weary since Angus King wasn’t narrating this, but Cathleen McCarron was brilliant!

Wow!!!

A must read! It starts off slow but after few chapters the characters develop and you will not believe the ending!! Wow-wow-wow!

Another Knockout Series!

I’ll admit it - I wasn’t excited about a series about Heather Filson. She was not…endearing in her previous appearances. HOWEVER, this book goes into her backstory, and the story itself is outstanding. I’m off buy book 2, This Little Piggy. Please, JD Kirk, write fast!

Kirk nails it AGAIN!

Heather Filson is such a dislikable character in the much-loved Jack Logan series. I mean hatable, really. I avoided starting this series for a long while for that very reason. But … I really was in JD Kirk withdrawal. So finally I warily took the plunge into this series. And THIS BOOK WAS GREAT, all the way around! Can’t wait to start the next in series.
P.S. I don’t hate Heather anymore. Great character!

Heather is a Winner!

Great new series, I love how characters from Jack Logan drop in too. Brilliant stay to the roller coaster ride, JD!

Another winner from my favorite Scottish writer!

I had a few concerns around this new series. 1. I did not like Heather from our previous meeting in a DCI Jack Logan book. 2. I ADORE the narration of Angus King and he doesn't narrate this book; and 3. I find there are only a few female narrators whose voices I like(of those I've listened to anyway).

All of my concerns fell away pretty quickly once I started listening to this latest effort by the very talented J D Kirk.

The story is wonderful and clips along at a very good pace. I got to meet some excellent new characters(Ace) and heard from a few old acquaintances( The Gozer and Shuggy Cowan). I was also pleasantly surprised to find I truly enjoyed the narration of Cathleen McCarron.

If you love a good story, strong character development, imaginative use of swear words and humor that runs a bit to the darker side, you will love all the J D Kirk novels.

Another amazing story from JD, Kirk!

JD Kirk blows me away every time! Heathers a story is awesome, well thought out well written, and just spellbinding. I never wanted to put it down! I was not loving the narrator. I will say that the story was so fantastic that she began to fall into the background, my irritation with her. Honestly, I am spoiled by Angus king, but I feel that there could be a better narrator for Heather and her stories going into the future! Bravo 0JD Kirk! When is the next one coming out?
