A missing child. A tormented detective. A ticking clock.

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 Amazon number one bestselling author, JD Kirk, an exciting new voice in Scottish crime fiction. Perfect for fans of L.J. Ross, Ian Rankin, Chris Brookmyre, and Stuart Macbride.

'A breath of fresh air in the crime fiction genre.' - L.J. Ross
'Gripping. Atmospheric. Chilling. A superb debut.' - Adam Croft
'A phenomenal novel.' - M.A. Comley

This book grabs you from the first chapter. I loved the characters, plot and conclusion. I just couldn’t put it down and read it in record time.
I’ve pre ordered the next Logan novel and really hope it’s as good as the first.

One of the best debut novels, I've ever read!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 June 2019

I honestly believe a good storyline and plot is vital for any novel, but characters are even more important especially the protagonist followed by an assortment of well thought out mixture of personalities. If you don't have these vital backbone ingredients, however good the storyline is, you've lost my interest. I need to be drawn into the story by the first couple of chapters, whether it's pulled me in kicking and screaming or simply peaked my curiosity...........I want to enjoy what I'm reading, like every other avid reader!

Well, A Litter of Bones, ticked every box multiple times. I love this author's style, and as it's his first crime novel he's done more than a first class job. The characters are well thought out and diverse, the protagonist DCI Jack Logan is an absolute dream of a character. He doesn't suffer fool's gladly, doesn't always play by the rules, justice is paramount, and his team are an unknown quantity, as he's bought into cover a crime in up in the Highlands!

An intriguing introduction to the plot, moves quickly, to pull you in with highs and lows and lots of hold your breath moments. Heart stopping then pulse racing moments throughout, giving your system a thrilling workout. It's a cleverly written storyline that's different, parts you don't see coming. Written in such away, the author makes you feel like your watching from inside the book.
The dialogue and banter throughout this book, is just wonderful including some brilliantly funny quips!

I honestly can't recommend this book highly enough, it's a fabulous first, of I hope many more books to this series featuring the wonderful irrepressible DCI Jack Logan!

Book 2 released on 30th June can't wait!

I had never heard of J.D Kirk until I stumbled across this book while browsing Tartan Noir. As an avid Scot .I love storirs set in familiar places. Where bettrr than Fort William .? I have already visited there twice this year. To my surprise I had d come upon one of the best police proceedure books I have ever read. The plot line was a bit unusual and was a real page turner. The story was peopled with a host of likeable .believable characters. I am nee McQuarrie. first time that name has featured in any tale I havd read. The dark story was lightened by real flashes of humour. To sum up. I loved it .loved it. Please JD keep wroting.

I loved this book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 August 2019

We have many great writers in Scotland and now we have another one, happily this author resides in and writes about The Scottish Highlands which is also where I am lucky enough to live. Detective Chief Inspector Jack Logan is a big man, he is self opinionated, bad tempered and hugely sarcastic and I love him! This is a dark book including overly graphic, in my opinion, short references to cat torture which, I admit, I had to skim over. However the humour between the team is chuckle making throughout. This author is already very adept at, what Scottish author's do best, dark humour. I thoroughly enjoyed this book it was well written by an obviously talented wordsmith. A good storyline, fast paced and kept my interest so well that I did not realise how much time had gone by. I am just about to start the second book in the series and I have pre-ordered the third. I think this author has started very well and I am looking forward to seeing what he can do. I would recommend this book to others who read Stuart McBride and Denzil Meyrick.

A great debut novel! Gripped me from start to finish!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 June 2019

With its first brilliant opening chapter, I was hooked! Loved the writing, the descriptions of the Scottish countryside, even the description of Meg the dog in the first chapter, I thought this author is a dog lover and he must live in the Highlands. Although the story is about horrific crimes there is humour throughout and a strong Scottish accent. I loved the use of our words. Yes I loved this book with all its twists and turns and then the astonishing reveal at the end! I didnt go there! Waiting for the next book!

A race to find an abducted boy

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 May 2022

Verified Purchase

I am reviewing the audio book version of this novel which is a task I have not done before as I usually down load the ebook to read. This is a tense thriller in which a team of detectives led by a DCI Logan are investigating the disappearance of a young boy in the Scottish Highlands. Logan had previously brought to justice a serial killer of children and was seeking to find a boy whose body had not been accounted for. There were striking similarities between the past case and the current abduction. Had Logan got the wrong man or was this a copy cat scenario?

The characters in this narrative are wonderfully described particularly the interaction between the members of the investigative team. There is some humour between them but mostly tension as they sought to find the boy before he is found dead. The story kept me listening avidly right to the end. I particularly like the Scottish brogue of the narrator which added to the narrative atmosphere. I thoroughly recommend this book to all fans of this genre.
