Publisher's Summary
Was the biggest case of his career the worst mistake he ever made?
Ten years ago, DCI Jack Logan stopped the serial child-killer dubbed "Mister Whisper", earning himself a commendation, a drinking problem, and a broken marriage in the process.
Now, he spends his days working in Glasgow's Major Investigations Team, and his nights reliving the horrors of what he saw.
And what he did.
When another child disappears a hundred miles north in the Highlands, Jack is sent to lead the investigation and bring the boy home.
But as similarities between the two cases grow, could it be that Jack caught the wrong man all those years ago?
And, if so, is the real Mister Whisper about to claim his fourth victim?
A Litter of Bones is the explosive debut crime thriller novel from JD Kirk, an exciting new voice in Scottish crime fiction.

Not bad at all
A good first in a series. The ending was a little obvious, the bad guy apparent from his first appearance, but on spite of that, it was a well paced, enjoyable listen. The characters were well written and some were even likeable. I look forward to more from the author.

Captivating
I really liked the subtle humor in appropriate places and actually laughed out loud. The story was very well written, edgy but not over the top which left me wanting to explore more of the series. I like Logan almost as much as DC Smith.

A great listen
I listened to this and became obsessed with the series! I love a good procedural and this is well done. Very well written. The stories are wonderful and they develop the characters very well, the main ones as well as the side ones. I also really enjoy the narrator, he perfectly tells the story. I like how these books never get too gory. They let you know what you need to know without being gratuitous with the violence. Especially since this book includes children.

Well Worth Every Minute
From the very first book in the series no word disappoints, Each book pulls you in never letting you go. Rich and superb in characters and story. Within the first few pages of each book JD Kirk inserts you into DCI Jack Logan's team and your off. It has been a long time since I seriously laughed out loud while reading. A huge explosive laugh while waiting in my Dr's office drew the attention of everyone in the room. Then in a relative short time you will find yourself wanting to shout for #$%# sake run. Each book is woven together so tightly it is impossible to stop listening. The performance is so good and the writing so intelligent that characters change and grow within every book. It is such a gift for a writer to respect their audience. When I began this series in short order I began my holiday in northern Scotland. Every one should escape this crazy world we find ourselves in right now letting JD Kirk and DCI Jack Logan keep you on the edge of your seat as tense as the victims and laughing out loud.

I really enjoyed this Detective thriller.
This book was excellent. The story was unpredictable and spell binding. One of the best performances of any audible book so far, of course the Scottish accent added to this rating.

Good pace
Enjoyed almost all of this book - my personal preference to avoid storylines with young children involved. However, an excellent story, a few twists, and a very human and likeable main character, all well read by the voice actor.

The accent! The humour! The plot is a bonus!
I’m thrilled there are more in the series. I love local voices in audiobooks: Australian, Irish, American South, but this Scottish brogue was the best. The plot and characters were well up to standard. I wouldn’t listen just for the accent!

Heard a lot about the JD Kirk / Angus King combo and this was my first try. Brilliant. Story itself was solid, but the writing and the performance is great. Love hearing all the Scottish slang and how it's written for people in the UK with no unnecessary explanations.
