About this listen

What if your worst enemy was your only hope?

When a 15-year-old girl fails to make it home after school, DI Heather Filson believes she’s dealing with just another teenage runaway.

The girl’s grandfather, a notorious Glasgow gangster, disagrees. Convinced one of his underworld enemies has grabbed her, he’s prepared to bathe the city in blood in order to bring his princess home.

But as the days pass and the evidence mounts, Heather starts to fear that they’re both wrong and that a brutal killer from the past has returned.

A killer who once stalked the streets of her hometown, preying on vulnerable young victims.

A killer that DI Heather Filson is uniquely familiar with....

Uncover the secrets of The One That Got Away in the first book in a brand-new Scottish crime fiction series by JD Kirk, author of the multimillion-selling DCI Jack Logan novels.

Everything! Crossover with Logan series. Nice to follow up on the DI Heather character and her relationship with Corner Shona. Thanks for a great read!

Loved the characters, the narrator is one of the best I have ever heard which made this story so darn amazing.

Excellent in every sense/page turner

As I got further into it, the story just kept getting better and better. Although a lot of sadness in the story, I enjoyed the comical sarcasm from Heather when she sometimes commented on a situation. The end was a surprise, and I hadn’t figured out “Who done it”, until Heather’s last encounter with Don! That kind of sealed it for me. Great book!

Actually wondered if I was going to enjoy it!

I wasn’t sure I would like this without Jack Logan and Shona but it was worth every minute.

Excellent Story

I wasn’t sure about JD Kirk’s latest book because it was narrated by some who was not Angus King. I thought I might have to read it instead of listed because no matter what I was going to read it. I was delighted that it was as good as all the others and the narrator did a great job. The story moved along nicely with strong characters. I couldn’t stop listening!

Captivating

Exceptional read as usual this author has another hit novel. Loved this book as much as the DC Ryan series

Loved this book!

J’ai aimé les personnages. J’ai filé jusqu’à la fin du livre en espérant une grande finale ou un attachement. Le rythme est lent et prévisible. L’histoire est bien mais ça manque d’un je ne sais quoi. La narratrice est formidable!

Personnages intéressants mais prévisible

Was looking forward to this one but it missed the mark for me. Her character in the main series is sassier, smarter, this story was focused on her back story vs her as a detective.
The narrator was ok. Overall, not sure I’d buy the second book.

I’m a big JD Kirk fan
