Book Review: A Litter of Bones

Posted October 4, 2019 by Elise in Reviews / 0 Comments

The Blurb:

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?

My Thoughts:

JD Kirk is a new author on the thriller scene. Except not really, because it’s actually a pseudonym (shh) for a person who writes pretty awesome sci-fi books, so I hit the pre-order button as soon as I found out. A Litter of Bones didn’t disappoint! I got the audio version, which was actually two treats in one because the narrator has a rather nice Scottish accent. There’s no romance, just a nice, twisted murder mystery with plenty of clues to puzzle out along the way. DCI Logan is a jaded yet determined detective in the DCI Ryan (LJ Ross) mould, but there’s a bit of humour thrown in for good measure. Good story, great ending, loved it.
