Disappointing

Revisado: 04-21-25

After how much the author hyped this up with cover reveals etc…; I expected far better from this than novel. Stop preaching and just tell a good story. This was predictable and frankly ridiculous. Hardly a mystery but impossible to comment further without spoilers so I’ll just say I feel the author seems to be sorely underestimating his faithful readers.

Loved this - a masterful author

Revisado: 02-11-25

Could not stop listening; pulled an all nighter because I HAD to know what happened next.
The story was very well done with twists and sprinkles of humor that I expect from JD Kirk.
From the start you feel a sense of foreboding that makes you uneasy and then it just builds into a relentless need to listen further because WTAF is happening here!

David Tennant ♥️ - just spectacular.
Louise Brealey 🌹- fantastic portrayal.

Started out fine and then it went south quickly

Revisado: 08-28-24

The novel sets a scene of intrigue in the first few chapters. Plenty of laughter but then it shifts into a poorly plotted mess of ridiculously overblown characters and convoluted triple agent nincompoopery. The reader finally is hit with - there isn’t actually a plot. I harken back to my 3rd grader relating a story from school that tangents wildly with no conclusions in sight and ends because she gets distracted; exiting abruptly. Same feeling as reading this book. Will Wheaton was so stiff when narrating certain characters that it was hard to continue.

Stephen Frye is delightful

Revisado: 08-15-24

Entertaining, educational, humorous- Delightful! I believe this man could make an instruction manual fun by re-writing it and then narrating the finished product. Stephen Frye is such a gem.

Not worth finishing

Revisado: 11-27-23

This book was just ridiculously long; the plot was simplistic and predictable. I kept reading because I paid for this piece of misogynistic crap. Oh sure, strong female characters are alluded to here in these pages but the stereotypes of old are abundant. The main character is basically a self-centered over-confident jerk who bullies everyone around her under the guise of being a strong female but in reality she’s a narcissistic bully. So very very disappointing.

BRILLIANT 10 STARS

Revisado: 07-30-23

Jack and the gang, new members and some old (right then, ya wee c***splashes) are out to solve a murder with danger and suspects aplenty.
Well-paced and as always, great dialogue, characters and plot twists.
I laughed, I cried, I yelled out loud at times; had to hold my breath at the end and was channeling Hoonerisms at the author…
Angus King is outstanding with his narration taking you deep into the story.

Thank you JD Kirk for a wild ride.

Emily D Baker is FABULOUS

Revisado: 06-30-22

Emily breaks down the legal speak without making dumbing down to her audience. She brings the facts. There is no one better than Emily for getting your trial/court news and Fair as you can get analysis.
She’s funny, she’s compassionate, and she’s brilliant!

Please spare us the sanctimonious rhetoric

Revisado: 02-28-22

This had such potential and sadly because the author has decided the lead detective must pontificate every step along the way or lecture the other detectives on the case…. Sooooooo boring. I literally thought “please just shut up and move along”.

Mr Ballen is the GOAT of story telling!

Revisado: 02-21-22

Love the stories. Love the format. So thankful to have this complement to the YouTube series.
Mr Ballen does not judge, criticize, or glorify anything. He just gives us the facts as he knows them based on research and tells them like you’re sitting in a pub with him having a beer.
Love love love

JD KIRK is a master storyteller LOVE LOVE LOVE

Revisado: 01-27-22

First of all, I cannot say enough about how much I crave these DCI Logan and Robert Hoon Novels. JD Kirk weaves a mystery that has enough humor to keep you going from tense speculation to laughing out loud while the characters unravel the latest mystery. I’ve read every book so far and pre-order each new one with zero hesitation.
Second, Angus King could read the phone book, nursery rhymes, instruction manuals and I would pay to listen. He’s magical. The rolling r’s, the various Scottish accents that I had no idea existed; he’s just a gem.
