Description

This book hit just the right spot. DCI Logan, our hero, is definitely haunted by ghosts from the past, but in A Litter of Bones some of them are put to rest. Based in Glasgow, he is assigned a missing child case in Fort William, in the Highlands. The local team assigned to him are for the most part good at their jobs and work with him cooperatively to find the kidnapper and save the child. Nothing remarkable in the story-telling or the characterizations, and only passing references to the beautiful scenery, but capably written with plenty of forward momentum to hold my attention.

I just have to declare it. JD Kirk is an awesome writer. Another police procedural which had me grappling to get to the truth. Got to mention the team, they were all funny and great and knew when to be serious. They were strong and yet flawed. Good humans.

There were no repercussions for his actions. For everything that I mentioned before, there were zero consequences. Nothing, nada. That irked me. Really, truly irked me. But no one even batted an eyelash. I don't find that believable at all. If those things happened in real life, I'm sure something would be done about it. Now, when I read fiction I can stretch my imagination very very far. But when the book is a police procedural, I like more of the real world and how things are really done to seep in the novel.

Logan's dry humor/sarcasm. I enjoyed his sense of humour (if you can call it that). To me, it seemed like it added a reprieve from the whole dark situation with the missing boy. Labai lengvai ir greitai įsijaučiau į siužetą, o detektyvų komandoje dirbantys personažai buvo įdomiai sukurti, su charizma ir puikiu humoro jausmu. Tad puslapiai vertėsi itin lengvai ir greitai. Set in Glasgow, the writing had an authentic flavor to it. Kirk made it so easy to get involved with the story. I found myself accompanying Logan everywhere. Another hero and now the author has a fan in me.The book started off strong enough, setting up the story, but then it started to fall apart. To begin with, for this being the first in a series, there is a lot mentioned in the synopsis that we learn nothing about. He doesn't appear to have a drinking problem at all - there are no nights mentioned as having been spent in a bar. In fact, I don't even remember him having any downtime to even have a drink. You also don't learn anything about him having an ex-wife, not to mention a daughter he doesn't see (or seem to know anything about). He is brash, and definitely has no respect for the law he is supposed to uphold, even going so far as to practically assault a man outside of his own house (a man with a known history of drug use and a shotty memory at best). As for the antagonist. The motivation for his crimes were just plain ludicrous and totally unbelievable. I found myself literally groaning out loud at the ridiculousness of it all. The twists in the story were well placed and had me gasping when the final reveal was revealed. Everything boggled my mind. It was fabulous. I loved the first book in the Logan series and you bet, this is going to be one of the best I have read. I can't resist comparing this with another Scottish police procedural I read a couple of years ago with a main character named Logan (although in that case it's a first rather than a last name) and featuring child abductions, Cold Granite. As I made clear in my review, https://www.goodreads.com/review/show..., that author seems to really dislike women. By contrast, this book features two strong female members of Logan's team, and he makes his respect for them clear. Such a refreshing change. Su J.D.Kirk jau buvau pažįstama iš knygų apie Bobį Huną, tad pasirodžius naujai serijai neatsispyriau pagundai ją perskaityti. Nemeluosiu, pradėjusi skaityti knygą detektyvą insperktorių Loganą lyginau su Hunu 🤭 Tad pasakiau sau STOP, tai nauja serija, nauji personažai, neieškok panašumų ar skirtumų, bet buvo sunkoka, nes Hunas paliko didelį įspūdį, o Loganas tikrai pretenduoja tapti nauju, mano mėgstamiausiu, žodžio kišenėje neieškančiu detektyvu 🤭

The setting of the novel is a small town in the Scottish countryside, and Kirk does an excellent job of creating an atmosphere of isolation and unease. The descriptions of the landscape, the weather, and the small-town atmosphere serve to create a sense of place that is both eerie and familiar. Kaulų upė" lengvo siužeto, bet labai įtraukiantis detektyvas. Smalsu sužinoti, kur toliau Loganą nuves likimas, nes tikrai skaitysiu ir sekančias serijos knygas. J.D.Kirk kūryba tikrai pasižymi savitu rašymo stiliumi ir begali kietais pagrindiniais knygos herojais ❤️ Trumpai apie siužetą, tai dingus berniukui detektyvas Loganas išsiunčiamas tirti pagribimo bylą, nes berniuko dingimo aplinkybės labai panašios į prieš 20 metų pagrobtų ir nužudytų berniukų atvejį. Ar atsirado pamėgdžiotojas, ar Loganas sučiupo ir nuteisė nekaltą žmogų? The Scottish Highland setting. I love everything that has to do with Scotland and especially the Highlands. I find it incredibly atmospheric and when you know the rich history of the place it adds an extra feel of appreciation for me. Nuoširdus pastebėjimas, kad knyga savo siužetu labai panaši į visai neseniai skaitytą kito autoriaus knygą, ir tai šiek tiek sumenkino netikėtumo faktorių, tačiau smagu, kad čia buvo visai kitokia knygos baigtis. Ir tai tik pirmoji serijos knyga, net neabejoju, kad tai buvo nelemtas sutapimas 🤭

A Litter of Bones is the first novel in the DCI Logan Crime Thriller series and is a mix of classic police procedural and mystery-thriller set in Bonny Scotland. Admittedly, it is quite formulaic and follows a group of characters who are rather stereotypical and similar to many other books, but is it even possible to write a completely unique thriller? That being said, it doesn't take away from the fact that this is a great debut. It's polished and well written but manages to remain gritty at the same time. I was also pleasantly surprised by some of the wit and humour throughout as I was not expecting it but it contrasted with the dark, disturbing narrative perfectly. Unfortunately the story had none of the sort of things that make a difference in a crime book. Looking for something thought provoking, underpinned with complex relationships? Or maybe a protagonist with an interesting history and character? An antagonist with a past that drives him to commit the crimes, even eliciting some understanding of the motivation? Well don’t bother looking because there are none of those things here. I could probably even have overlooked how a man who had reached the rank of DCI and caught "Mister Whisper" ten years ago, made such a glaring error in stupidity that he endangered the life of one of the men under his command. The rest of the characters had no personality either. Same thing that happened with Logan, happened with the rest of the characters. If you want character development, you won't find it here. They were like those cardboard cutouts. Flat.
