About this listen

What price would you pay for fame?

Following a convention in the Scottish Highlands, eight social media influencers vanish without a trace, leaving their followers–and families–in a state of shock, and the police clueless as to their whereabouts.

And then, the livestreams begin.

Broadcast live from their squalid underground cells, the young influencers are forced into a sadistic battle for survival.

With each livestream, their captor pits them against each other in a twisted competition for likes. The influencer with the fewest positive reactions faces a gruesome end–live on camera.

As the likes increase and the death toll rises, DCI Jack Logan and his team must traverse both the Scottish wilderness and the darkest corners of the internet to try and save the remaining captives.

But how do you catch a killer who is always one click ahead?

A Killer of Influence is the 20th book in the multi-million selling DCI Jack Logan series from internationally bestselling Scottish crime author, JD Kirk.

The perils faced by DCI Logan and team had me quaking at times, but again JD Kirk delivers the perfect blend of suspense with a liberal dash of humour! These characters are so beautifully drawn that the threads of their development in previous episodes continue to be perfectly woven. The reader is left feeling like they’re sharing an inside joke with old friends. I hope they return soon…

Bloody marvelous!

Worth the wait

Over this long series I have grown to love the abundance of characters. Each book is like catching up with old friends, laughing and crying with them. And the theme of this book really made that shine! JD Kirk is truly one of the most talented writers who can seamlessly intertwine the drama and comedy of a sitcom and the intensity and emotion of a crime drama. And Angus king breathes pure life to these words. Cannot wait for the next one!

If I could give 10 stars I would

Or they train some young Tyler Neish-es to carry on after their demises. As we all grow old and eventually die... Because the pair of them together are ducking brilliant! (You know I can't publish Hoon's language on a review). They are beyond brilliant, they are epic. They save my ducking life sometimes! The free and authentic use of inner voices and outer expletives is truly refreshing. This is how life is meant to be expressed. Entertaining and yet, profound...

I hope JD Kirk and Angus King live forever

Thoroughly enjoyable story

I'm new to Kirk. He can certainly spin a well written story, with good pacing and writing, it never gets bogged down.
Excellent narration, it's fun to have a Scottish accent for a change. Easy to listen to.
Quibble: would the antagonist really have been that clever? No. But that's fine.

Good old fashioned detective story telling
