The Last Bloody Straw

Difficult to choose a favourite book for #January for #12Booksof2023, too many good ones to choose from.

Gone for this book in one of my favourite current crime series, which took DCI Logan and Tyler to a remote Scottish island and sone hilarious moments between them.

Notable mentions to Carrie Soto is Back, Blood and Treachery also in the DCI Logan series and Shaken in the Jack Daniels series by J A Konrath.

TheSpineView Love this series! 11mo

Andrew65 @TheSpineView Might not be the only month it‘s picked ❤️ 11mo

TheSpineView @Andrew65 You can't go wrong with it. BTW, if you sign up for Kirk's newsletter you get bonus material. He just started a Hoon comic strip that is only available in his newsletter. 11mo

Andrew65 @TheSpineView Thanks, will check that out. 11mo

I‘m really enjoying this series. The storylines are really great and, though they‘re police procedurals, there‘s a lot of dark humor (or just plain humor) that makes me laugh out loud. I really recommend this series if you‘re a fan of police procedurals, especially those set in Scotland. #SeriesLove2023 @Andrew65 @TheSpineView

The Last Bloody Straw | J. D. Kirk

“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 a remote island and Jack is summoned to investigate. As a storm closes in, Jack is cut-off from the rest of the world, with no car, no phone signal, and only DC Neish for company.”

3/225 Simply love this series and it just keeps getting better. Logan and Tyler are stuck on a remote island investigating a murder and that leaves plenty of laugh out loud moments in this book. A difficult murder case as the way the woman has led her life has left many suspects despite it being a small community. Left on a big cliffhanger.

Jan 2nd #WinterReadathon #WinterReadathonDailyChallenge

This week is Someday We‘ll Laugh About This Week. We all need laughter in our lives and we can feel so much better about ourselves after a laugh. Today‘s daily challenge is to post something or a book that makes you laugh.

My current book (tagged) is making me laugh, but so do the Myron Bolitar books by Harlan Coben.

Velvetfur I'm currently listening to 'Should We Stay Or Should We Go' by Lionel Shriver, which I would recommend as a funny one despite the dark theme 😊 2y

Andrew65 @Velvetfur Often humour is needed amongst the dark themes. 2y

Moving straight onto Book 5 of this series following key incidents in book 4. Want to see how they respond and whether it is what I am expecting (and hoping).

Andrew65 @TheSpineView Most definitely, enjoying these immensely and this one has had me laughing out loud on a few occasions already. Logan and Tyler thrown together on a remote island and having to share a room, what could be funnier 😂 2y

Clwojick Creepy cover! I love it! ❤️ 2y

TheSpineView @Andrew65 IK! I have a soft spot for Tyler. 2y

Andrew65 @TheSpineView The poor man, the abuse he gets from Logan. 2y

TheSpineView @Andrew65 Yes. 2y
