A LITTER OF BONES DCI Logan, Book 1

Narrator Angus King introduces Detective Chief Inspector Jack Logan, who is sent to the Scottish Highlands to investigate a child abduction similar to one he solved earlier. Logan is confident and tough but also vulnerable; his transition from Glasgow to the countryside is amusing. Listeners will meet his engaging and conscientious team and feel themselves to be in the middle of action involving grieving parents and insensitive media. King's tone and volume alter instantly when he portrays Logan's fury at a particular pedophile and his victims. Most moving is 7-year-old witness Finn Harris, whose youth and innocence contrast with the horror he experienced. King's accomplished delivery makes the story's setting a supporting character, and the often subtle, much needed humor contributes to a worthwhile and memorable listening experience. S.G.B.
