Summary

We all have our little secrets.

When the remains of a brutally murdered young woman are left hanging from the Glenfinnan Monument in the Highlands of Scotland, DCI Jack Logan and his Major Investigations team are dispatched to investigate.

At first, the case appears to be fairly open and shut. But, as evidence mounts, Jack uncovers some shocking truths about the victim that risk turning the investigation into a potentially explosive international incident.

With a billionaire baying for his blood, a former FBI agent breathing down his neck, and half the world's press watching his every move, it isn't the murderer that Jack's afraid might be the end of him.

It's the stress.

And don't get him started on the bloody tourists....

A Death Most Monumental is the eighth book from internationally best-selling author JD Kirk and is perfect for fans of Stuart Macbride, Ian Rankin, Chris Brookmyre, and Val McDermid.

Another excellent book

I’m loving the Jack Logan series. Great characters. Excellent plots. Really quite funny in places too! JD Kirk is an excellent writer but I think Angus King’s reading of the books lifts them even further

Another excellent read

I love this series of books. The stories are fast paced, the narration is superb, and the banter between the main characters is hilarious at times. This is my favourite series of books and I can’t wait until Audible get the next two in the series.

Never disappoints

Great stuff, tense, humorous, with a poignant ending and justice done. Angus King excels as a narrator.

Monumental!

Love hanging out with the old gang - all great characters. As ever with this series it’s a skilful mix of a gripping crime thriller interlaced with funny and at times poignant episodes in the lives of the much loved team

Brilliant!!

Glad JD back on form. Have spent time listening straight through. Hooting with laughter at certain turns of phrase. " Turn himself into a gas?" and "Glasgow Kiss" stand out and are still making me chuckle.
