All three books in this series were far better than I expected and they were (for me) a solid five stars

I love British detective books that revolve around murder/serial murder plots with a DCI and his team that need to put the pieces together to solve the crimes. These three books hit the mark on all of these categories.

Each of the first three books in this series can be read by themselves, but so much intertwines between the books that you would be far better off to start with book 1.

To sum up, they were so good, that I have already downloaded books 4-6.

I tried two of these -- I'm really hungry for good police procedurals -- but the murders are disturbing so that's it for me. DNF

Read Book 1. Surprise ending.

[Beth Ruge · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read a lot of detective fiction and really enjoyed this collection. The characters were good, a good balance of humour and the language peppered with Scottish slang that was used to great effect without sounding like it was trying too hard. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

A real surprise!

I wasn’t sure I would like these books as I like to read novels where I am familiar with the areas they are set in; but I needn’t have worried as the story lines and characters were perfectly formed. As I read each book in the book 1-3 collection, the characters are developed and I especially love DCI Logan’s dry sense of humour and his relationship with the other members of his team. Would thoroughly recommend.

Fun read. The dialogue is realistic and believable- and even funny in places. The characters “click” and I found myself liking them immensely.

I figured out the killer in all three before the big reveal - and since I’m no super-sleuth that means the stories aren’t too deep or complex. But they are engaging and fun. I’ll read the entire series.

Jack Logan, a Scottish Reacher

Loved these three books. I loved that Jack is a no nonsense man. He is what I imagine Reacher would be if he was still a cop.

Of these stories I don’t have a favourite because they are all good.

Well definitely read more of Jack’s stories.

Four stars

I read one right after another in this 3 book series. They were page turners, though I had to keep my computer close by so I could look up some of the Scot slang. I think the books were/are gruesome, and I wish they weren't so ~
But, I really enjoy the characters and will probably continue with the series - - - after I read something a little bit more lighthearted.

I am so happy that I have discovered J. D. Kirk. I thoroughly enjoy his characters and the stories that he tells. While the language might be a wee bit strong for some. . .I find that it helps to deepen the character development. I am just worried that there may not be enough Jack Logan books to satisfy my cravings.

[Pauline Jones · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love Jack Logan, doesn't suffer fools, but definitely someone to have on your side. He doesn't give up or spare himself till he's caught the criminals. Love the humor in the books 📚, really serious horrible crimes, but always makes me laugh. A winning combination.

[Nick · Rating 4 out of 5]

I've reviewed another Jack Logan series (another writer, another character) book, thinkin' as I was that it was this Jack Logan book. Imagine my embarrassment. Hee-Haw. Too many wee Jacks blethering aboot nout. No' like I dinae enjoy them, though. Top piece o' shite.

Great read

Love how this author writes, he is a master at describing a scene, drawing you in until you are on the edge of your seat. There is no waste in these books of dragging things out or long useless descriptions, just brilliance from start to finish. CJ

[Diane · Rating 5 out of 5]

Brilliant

A box set that you don't want to miss. The characters develop well over the series. Exciting and gripping. Well written with plenty of suspense. Actioned packed with gritty storylines. I raced through each book and look forward to reading book four.

[Claire · Rating 4 out of 5]

great series

I’m really glad I purchased this set of books. DCI Jack Logan is a good old fashioned policeman with some tough crimes to solve in Scotland. Fast paced, with great characters and a very easy read. I will definitely carry on with the rest of this set.

Loved this series!

Great character development, lots of twists and turns. Just finished the first 3 books and plan on reading all of them!

Three for Three

It’s not Rebus, but then, I still enjoyed the characters and while the mysteries were relatively uncomplicated there was enough there to suck me in.

[Barbara Qureshi · Rating 4 out of 5]

I realized I had read them before but I reread them and thoroughly enjoyed them a second time. Great British detective stories

[Shelley · Rating 4 out of 5]
