About this listen

A remote Highland castle. A dark and stormy night. A murder most haunting.

It’s Halloween, and when an elderly billionaire is discovered dead in the locked study of his stately Highland home, DCI Jack Logan and his team must race the worsening weather to get to the scene of the crime.

There, among the victim’s extended family and staff, Jack finds no shortage of suspects. Everyone, it seems, had reason to want the old man dead, and they all have something to hide.

Cut off from backup by the worst storm in decades, and with the cast and crew of a TV ghost-hunting show seriously cramping his style, Jack’s only chance of solving his latest case is by going back to basics.

But the castle’s residents won’t give him a minute to think.

Not even the dead ones....

Tartan Noir meets Agatha Christie in A Dead Man Walking, the 18th book in the number one best-selling DCI Logan Scottish crime fiction series from author JD Kirk.

I normally love this series. However this is a poor read/listen. The story while amusing is beyond belief. Ill be cautious of listening to future logan books.

Jumped the shark

Not as good as previous books. This was a bit comical in the story line. Great narration though. Angus brings life to the stories

While not his normal effort his characters stayed true and made me laugh out loud as usual. I was a bit hesitant to buy this one after reading some of the reviews. As usual though it was worth the effort. It may not have had the OMG moments of will they all survive. I will definitely listen to next one.

Not quite as absorbing but worth a listen

This modern gothic inspired detective tale was horoughly entertaining. The author paints vivid scene descriptions and the amazing castle becomes real. Unbelievable character accents by the narrator.

Brilliant characters.

A bit more of a light hearted murder mystery perfect as a holiday season tale or just a more lighter DCI Logan story.

If you enjoy the old classic murderer amongst a small group of suspects trapped in a creepy old mansion during a storm with the added joy of Kirk’s ability to create an enjoyable cast of characters including some of our favourite detectives, this book won’t disappoint.

If you aren’t familiar with the DCI Logan universe this would not be a good book to start your Logan/Kirk journey but if you are I think you will find it an enjoyable listen.

And of course the narration could not be any better.

A very enjoyable change of pace.
