About this listen

Scarred for Life is the ninth mystery featuring Kerry Wilkinson's popular detective, Jessica Daniel.

DI Jessica Daniel is not having a good week. Her wallet's been nicked, the refurbished incident room is already falling apart, and a new football-mad constable is driving her crazy.

She also has bigger things on her mind. A student's body has been dumped in a wheelie bin at the back of a university building, with a vague link to an Olympic medallist and a theory that it could have been an induction which went wrong.

There's the tattooed shop raider who has her team stumped; someone attacking lone women; a chief inspector who seems to have a problem with her; and someone putting letters through her front door insisting that she's caught 'the wrong man'.

Worlds are colliding for Jessica - and, if she's not careful, someone close to her might not make it out in one piece.

I absolutely loved this book. Listened to it straight through. It twisted and turned and and left me open mouthed at the end..

What a finish???

Just the right amount of personal stuff mixed in with the detective stuff. The latter keeps you guessing and also lets you feel a bit smug when you work some things out.

Excellent! Loved it!

I'm always so pleased to find an author I don't know who I really like.
This is so well read too with great characterisation of the individuals
I really enjoyed it and will be looking for more of the same

Interesting and gripping

Loved it, the person who reads her books is great, easy to listen too, nice to have a compassionate detective rather than a overly cynical one, excellent story with lots going on rather than just one crime as with many books which is more like real life. Thoroughly recommend.

Excellent

I've listened to the whole series (all but the only one I can't find as an audio book) and I really have enjoyed them all.

What a great writer with excellent narration - will there be more?

I can't help but feel the ending could have been different though - I won't give anything away as it really is a great listen and you can make your own mind up! You really do start to learn more about Jessica and what makes her tick and see the other side of her.

Definitely don't want this series to end!

I love this series!
