Summary

From Kerry Wilkinson, the best-selling author of the Jessica Daniel novels, comes a new crime series.

Nicholas Carr disappeared on his 18th birthday and the world has moved on. His girlfriend has gone to university, his friends have got jobs, the police have other things to look into.

But his father, Richard, is still stuck on the three fingers the police dug up from a sodden Manchester wood. What happened to Nicholas on the night he disappeared, and why did he never come home?

Private investigator Andrew Hunter is Nicholas' last hope - but Andrew has his own problems. There's something about his assistant that isn't quite right. Jenny's brilliant but reckless, and he can't figure out what she gets from their working relationship. By the time he figures out who's a danger and who's not, it might all be too late...

Something worth purchasing

What did you like most about Something Wicked?

A story set in my city with three dimensional characters and a strong story

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jenny (Andrew's assistant) stands out from the beginning as unique character. The more I read about her, the more than I wanted to know about her.

What does Nigel Patterson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

He helps bring the strong 3D characters on the page to life.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Little did he know that a finding a missing son would put their lives on the line

Any additional comments?

Can't wait for the next audio book from Kerry Wilkinson.

narration the best!

first book by this author that I have read/listened to and I thoroughly enjoyed it. the book is full of subtle humour and the characters are believable.
I wasn't sure of the reader at first...but his different voices are just brilliant.
a really good listen!

Not as good as the Jessica Daniels books

Thought I'd give this a go as I really did enjoy the Jessica Daniels novels and have been keeping an eye out for more books and came across this.

I did enjoy it but not as much as her previous books - story was ok and worth a listen but unfortunately not high up on my recommended listens as have read listened to some excellent books lately so maybe a bit harsh but just an ok from me.

Okay

The relationship between the two main characters was interesting, but I didn't feel gripped by the story or the narrator. It was an 'okay' listen from a daily deal members offer.

Alright.

A pleasant little listen, not sure if it's the story or the narration but I wasn't chomping at the bit for the next chapter. Very listenable though.

Good enough story

Easy listen but the reading style was far too easy to fall asleep to, especially at the beginning. I did become more involved as the story went on. Good as an audiobook but not a great read.

Good story but lacks depth

It is a simple story but written well. Lacks depth has some good twists but needs more fleshing out. Narrator has done a good job on it and the book is quite satirical at times.

Simple story with a few twists

Ok story. Various unexpected twists kept me listening to the end but Andrew Hunter is an interesting if not very likeable character (won't spoil it but leave it to the listener to make up their own mind). Probable won't look out for any more in the series.

An interesting read

This was my first Andrew Hunter novel and I enjoyed it . The plot had a few twists which kept me guessing to the end , but what was behind it all was too unfeasible for me . That said I would try another one of the series and make my mind up
The narrator was fine and handled the different characters well not my favourite but ok
