Resumen del Editor

Viva Las Vengeance

All Bob Hoon ever wanted was a good whisky, and some peace and quiet.

But, when Hoon hears that his friend and MI5 agent, Miles Crabtree, has gone missing in the United States, he is dragged back into action once more.

The hunt leads him to the Florida Everglades, and into conflict with the violent locals, the terrifying wildlife, and a Sheriff with a sinister agenda of his own.

Carving a trail of destruction across America, Hoon crosses swords with a washed-out, Elvis-themed P.I. who might be his only chance of not only saving his friend, but of foiling a twisted conspiracy that could lead to the deaths of millions.

From the Highlands of Scotland, through the steamy dive bars of Florida, to the dazzling neon nightmare of Vegas, Hoon’s quest for justice will expose the rotten underbelly of the American Dream.

And he might just cause a major international incident along the way.

Stateside is the fifth book in the Robert Hoon Thrillers series by internationally bestselling author, JD Kirk. If you ever thought Jack Reacher should be Scottish and swear more often, this is the series for you!

Another Great Hoon Adventure

I became a fan of JD Kirk through his DCI Logan series and Hoon was one of the characters I always loved so it was great to see that this series was created. I have listened to all the DCI Logan series and have now completed the current titles of the Hoon series. As an American, this story in particular struck my funny bone. I was laughing so hard during the first few chapters describing Hoon’s impressions of Florida I had to pause the book several times. JD Kirk has provided me with hours of entertainment through these two series. I would be remiss to not give a shout out to Angus King who is one of my all time favorite narrators. Since I am all caught up with the Hoon and Logan series, I am now trying another narrated by Angus King by Andrew Raymond. Looking forward to the next Logan and Hoon adventures.

Fun jaunt with Hoon and Iris….

JD Kirk books are my favorite.
I’ve listened to all of them and wait for the next ones to come out. Haven’t found any that make me laugh along the way outloud like any of theses yet.

Still fun after all these books! Brilliant author & narrator

My review is based on the merits of the book and not on attempting to read the author's mind like one of the reviews appears to do. This book is funny, reflecting the authors unerring ability to weave a story with unerring characters, creative sweating, and with banter. And the narrator performs on spot, mostly. Intense premise wraps inside witty dialogue.

Normally I am a HUGE fan

JD Kirk is one of my favorite writers, and Angus King is my favorite narrators. I have listened to audio books just because he narrates them. His Kryptonite is American accents. I can’t tell you what is missing. Some are so bad, it is like fingernails on a chalkboard. I don’t know how much of that affects how I view the characters in the book. Because all the American characters seem more like caricatures. There is the naive prostitute with a heart of gold, the corrupt red neck sheriff, and a private investigator “possessed” by Elvis. None of them feel like real people. This is a complete departure from every other JD Kirk book I’ve read, and I’ve read all of them multiple times. Even Bob Hoon seemed a caricature of Bob Hoon. He is just a big teddy bear with the facade of a curmudgeon.

Something is just off with this story. Maybe it is the poor accents and maybe it is the writing. I’m still a fan, but I will probably skip this book when I’m in the mood to listen to all of them again.

Love Hun as a character!

I just love books that are intense and yet make me laugh! That’s a hard thing to balance, but the author managed to do so!

love every JD Kirk

I love Bob and the entire bunch. As soon a JD Kirk book releases I have to get it. This book, as all the rest in the series, had me laughing out loud and wanting to both finish it in a day, but also make it last as long as passible.

I Can’t Help Falling in Love

By and By, I have such a Burning Love for Hoon! Whether he’s Crying in the Chapel or checking into the Heartbreak Hotel, you know he’s gonna deliver the Jailhouse Rock. Now some may have a Suspicious Mind, but trust me and Surrender, this book feels as good as a Kentucky Rain! 5 stars left me with a Burning Love ♥️

Best Hoon book yet

Other Hoon stories were good but this is the best. Thoroughly enjoyed it. As always Angus King was great

Hoon is a Hoot!

Always happy to see a new book in any of the three series based in Scotland. The Florida part of the story was funny. I was born in Florida and have lived here all my life except for college. I love Angus King, but no Floridian talks like the accents used here. Of course only 25% of the people here are actually Floridians. Most people are from other states, countries and planets. I wish all newcomers met the alligators, snakes, and hand sized cockroaches before moving here. The author never disappoints. A mad dash to find Miles. Hoon at his best/worst. I prefer the story to take part in Scotland or at least the UK. Reading fiction is a great way to leave the reality of my life behind. Right now I need to read about other places because the elections are making me crazy. I would have stayed in Scotland if I could have. I love Inverness and Skye best.

Humorous and Riveting!

Humorous and riveting! Love the characters and made me laugh out loud. Angus King is an awesome narrator and JD Kirk is an awesome writer.
