About this listen
How do you solve a murder when everyone's a suspect?
Tormented by the recent loss of a colleague, DCI Jack Logan is on the warpath, determined to bring down all those he holds responsible for the officer's death.
His quest for revenge is cut short when a woman's body turns up on the remote island of Canna, and Jack is summoned to investigate. As a storm closes in, Jack finds himself cut-off from the rest of the world, with no car, no phone signal, and only DC Neish for company.
With time running out before the ferries resume, Jack must act fast to crack the case before the killer can escape. But with the victim widely hated on the island, everyone on it is a potential suspect.
Even the scarecrow....
The Last Bloody Straw is the fifth book in the DCI Jack Logan series, set in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, Chris Brookmyre, and Stuart Macbride.

Not the best.
Sadly this one didn't quite get it right for me. The story was okay, narration okay, but for the poorly rehearsed Australian accent which sounded like a sorry mixture of Birmingham and South Africa rather than Australia. Disappointing.
This time the most displeasing aspect was the heavy use of foul language. I'm no prude but in my opinion there was far too much of the very rude and crude and for that reason I'm giving this book in the Logan series a 'thumbs down'.

Did not disappoint!
Love the characters, great story line, just downloaded my next JD Kirk book and can't wait to start it!!
Such a wonderful narrator, I can (and have) listen to him all day. My only comment would be that maybe Angus King would be better if he does not have to do an Ozy accent, he is much better with his Scottish accent, so pleased the Ozy was a cameo role which does not detract from the rest of the narrative. Thanks

Expect the Unexpected!
Enjoyed the change of locations, the inferred, but wrong leads, in this story, always leading to double guessing the answers..Good book.

every character harbors secrets,
Kirk weaves an intricate web of suspense, where every character harbors secrets, and danger lurks around every corner. As the storm rages, DCI Logan faces not only the elements but also the darkness within human hearts. If you enjoy atmospheric crime thrillers with a touch of Scottish ruggedness, this book is a must-read

Another brilliant story!
I can't wait to get to the next book now 😃 this series has me totally addicted, the storyline as usual so captivating, and didn't guess the killer until the last chapter or two...the narrator has such a wide range of voices and even managed to do an almost perfect Australian one 😅, something I find is rare when people attempt it! I absolutely loved the humour in this, as with the other books; the scenario in this one about the B & B had me literally laughing loudly in bed one night...😅🤣😂
