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.

J D Kirk is your man!

I started this series by chance and I'm completely hooked. Excellent stories, well plotted and full of surprises. Logan and his team have got under my skin and I'm with them all the way. Throw in danger, peril and and a good measure of humour makes for a great listen.
Angus King deserves a special mention for excellent narration and employment of a variety of voices for the characters.

Wonderful!

I love all these books, this one is as brilliant as all the previous ones! The storylines, characters, imagery, Jack Logan himself, and the narrative by Angus King, genius.

Best one yet

This book is more character driven than some of the earlier ones. And possibly believable. Unlike a few other reviewers I had no problem with the swearing- found it pretty funny actually… and not that out of keeping with the way some people express themselves! Otherwise good patter, and the Aussie accent wasn’t even terrible.
