Summary

Not all monsters are make-believe.

When a badly mutilated body washes up on the shores of Loch Ness, DCI Jack Logan's dream of a quiet life in the Highlands is shattered.

While the media speculates wildly about monster attacks, Jack and the Major Investigations Team must act fast to catch the killer before they can strike again.

But with Nessie-hunters descending on the area in their dozens, and an old enemy rearing his ugly head, the case could well turn out to be the most challenging of Jack's career.

And, if he isn't careful, the last.

Death and dark humour combine in this fast-paced Tartan noir crime thriller set in the Highlands of Scotland.

‘DCI Logan is sure to become one of Scotland’s best-loved detectives.’ (Adam Croft)

Enjoyed but attention to detail required

I’m halfway through this book - and of course I’ll finish it but frustrated at some inaccuracies that should be known by a Scottish author or at the very least researched to check if unsure. Eg. The school is ‘due to be inspected by Offsted’ anyone involved in Scottish education will know that Offsted do not operate in Scotland. Education Scotland are the inspection body.

Excellent listen

Really enjoyed this. Great storyline, not too gruesome. Loved the humour throughout. Narrator is fantastic, great storyteller, keeps you wanting more. His only letdown is his awful Irish accent. Going straight to
book 3 in the series.

The humour balances out the grimness

I am enjoying this series of books - but at times the lead characters bad temper is a bit OTT. Would not be tolerated in the workplace in this day & age. The humour helps though. It’s time the better sides of his character were shown more often!

Excellent!

I downloaded the first book on a whim and I've eaten my way through the series - I love how unpredictable the story can be and how the characters are developed. Narration is great!
