Publisher's Summary

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.

great

This was so good. It also made me laugh uncontrollably at work, causing my coworkers to check on me. It wasn't a funny book, but there were some moments that just cracked me up. The schoolroom scene especially. I just couldn't stop.

Good story, solid mystery, believable ending. The victim was anything but likable, but you still manage to work up some compassion towards her, thanks to the writing.
I can't wait for the next book to come out on Audible.

Tartan Noir with a healthy dose of humour

This fifth in the series was everything I expected. The characters are believable and likeable. Fast moving plot. And very nice performance indeed.

Excellent Series

I love these books, they are comfort listening for me. The plots are not overly complicated but a straight forward who 'dunnit'.
I love the characters and now that I am on book 6 the characters are very familiar to me. I love the the repartee between Logan and Tyler (who is my favourite) and quite funny. The narrator is amazing, he does all the accents impeccably and never disappoints.
I highly recommend this series if you like a bit of Scotland, which I do.
