About this listen

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...

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.

A modest and human protagonist & a fascinating yet polar opposite assistant lead the cast of a promising detective series. Set in Manchester, the author provides a wonderfully accurate & fondly nostalgic backdrop of the city, which really brings the story to life. Great character development....... I'm off to purchase the sequel!

A P.I. Braves Manchester's sprawling back-street's to find there's no such thing as a simple missing persons enquiry.....
