Publisher's 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...

If this is the missing girl, then where has she been - and what happened to her on that sunny afternoon? If she's an imposter, then who would be bold enough to try to fool a child's own mother - and why?

Rose Denton wakes up in her car. She has no memory of how she got there. But she knows something bad happened.... There’s blood on the windscreen and bonnet - but it’s not hers, and there’s no sign of anything or anyone she might have hit. The last thing she remembers is being in a hotel on a business trip, but now she’s miles away. Back home, her daughter’s boyfriend is missing. The last thing he did was argue with Rose over money. He left no note, no text, no clue as to his whereabouts. The police have questions - and so does Rose.

Lucy gets the same bus every day. She hopes to get a seat to herself, tries to avoid eye contact, and, if she’s really lucky, reads a chapter of her book. But it’s a Friday - and the bus is always crammed at the end of the week. Personal space doesn’t exist. She keeps her elbows close and clings to a pole at every juddering stop. When she gets off, something feels different. An envelope stuffed with thousands of pounds is in her bag. Is it the answer to her prayers, or the beginning of a nightmare? Because, in the end, everything has a price.

The little girl in the photo has an unusual scar - just like mine. I’ve never met anyone with one like it. Is this stolen child...me? Trembling with shock, I know I have to confront my mother. My parents got me through a horrific accident, helped me find a job I love teaching art, and even with buying my own house. But was it all built on lies?

I pinch the screen to zoom until I’m staring at the face of a ghost. A man with very short hair, staring directly at the camera with piercing brown eyes. He is as he was when I last saw him: wrinkles around the corners of the eyes and a knowing smirk. That’s the expression I see when I can’t sleep. My body tenses. It can’t be him. It’s not my ex-husband. It’s not David. I know that better than anyone because he didn’t walk out on me. He didn’t disappear two years ago and he’s not a missing person. I know that for a fact because I’m the one who killed him.

The doorbell rings, just days after my beloved husband’s sudden death. I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with her blonde highlights, a diamond bracelet identical to my own and a bouncing baby boy in her arms. As I show her inside, I notice her eyes grow wide as she takes in our spacious hallway, and the big squashy sofas that we all used to pile on. She glances at the silver-framed family photos and my little daughter hiding behind my skirts. She looks at me, her blue eyes serious. ‘I’m sorry’ she says. ‘I am your husband’s girlfriend. And this is his son.'

Great start to a new series.
This is my first book by this author, even though I have the first 2 in his The Silver Blackthorn Trilogy, and I have to say that I really enjoyed this!
When a man turns up saying that his son went missing 9 months ago and he feels the police have lost interest in it. He wants Andrew to investigate and see can he find him. With very little clues, three fingers were all that was found, Andrew and his assistant, Jenny, set out to see what they can find. First stop, the boys then girlfriend Lara!
Character wise, I loved both of the MCs. Andrew is such an all round great guy and Jenny is such an enigma! She has a story and I can't wait to see it unfold! She is just so fearless and odd....
Plot wise, this was relatively fast paced. The focus is on the main investigation, which is filled with twists and turns, but there are some side things happening too. I was surprised with the twist near the end and totally didn't see it coming!
In all, a great start to what will hopefully be a great series. This author knows how to keep his readers hooked!!
Nigel Patterson was as good as always. He is so easy to listen to and has a pleasant voice. He has such an "English gentleman" voice!! Lol,
*I received a free copy of this from the narrator. This in no way affected my thoughts.*

It's not magic, it's a mystery....
I enjoyed this story being different because it deals with unraveling clues of those involved in Blackmagic groups & their rituals. There's a good twist near the end.
Loved the narration, so smooth. Engaging main characters; mild mannered Andrew Hunter & his quirky female assistant who pushes Hunter past his comfort zones. I'm going to listen to the second one in this series.

Great Start to a new series
Any additional comments?
This a new author for me. I had been listening to a lot of police proceedurals and was looking for something different. This was different ,quirky and fit the bill. A private detective in Manchester England with a slightly odd assistant . Great narrator, accents are spot on. Can't wait to read the second book.

A Haunting Tale!
Where does Something Wicked rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Something Wicked ranks right up there with the best books. I enjoyed listening to it!
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Yes! Loads of twists & turns in this book to keep you on the edge of your seat. The cult was quite haunting.
What about Nigel Patterson’s performance did you like?
I love Nigel's voice! Even better, I love how many multiple voices he did in the bok and the sound effects he did, such as a quieter voice when thoughts were in his head & the way voices drifted off when people were talking!
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It spooked me. Some parts made me laugh. I loved the detective work & all the foot trails the detective followed.
Any additional comments?
Listening to this book was great! I really enjoyed the story & plot itself along with the delivery by the narrator. Nigel breathed additional life into this story with all his voices and sounds!

Excellent new Mystery series
I knew I would like this story as soon as I heard Nigel Patterson acting the role of the radio announcer with the fake American accent. The next hook was the car pursuit of the wily and underestimated Stuart Deacon in his Audi, this was also my introduction to Andrew, the little bit seemingly boring P.I., and his lively assistant Jenny.
It would be difficult to add to the publishers blurb without spoilers, so I won't, but needless to say, there are many twists to this story. The beauty of it is though, is that this is the first story of a series, and as such, cleverly lays the foundations for future stories.
Now what about Jenny? Well, being the assistant to a private investigator, we know that she is bound by the laws of crime fiction to be clever and quick witted, and also to be very good with computers. She is all of these, yet Jenny is also a Very Odd Person, and I look forward to reading or listening to her story. Oh, and does she have a surname or is that a part of her mystery? I can't recall hearing one on my audiobook.
As for her boss, Andrew Hunter, seems he's a bit of a mystery himself. I quite liked him, but at one point in the story he really went down in my estimation. However, later, when he'd proved that he could man up, he redeemed himself! I'm very much looking forward to his future story.
I would never have believed I could like anything originating from the pen of a Sports Writer, but this is a thumping good story, tip top, and well suited to audio.
Narrator
Much of the success of an audiobook is, of course, dependant on the quality of the narration. For me, the best of the best narrators are the one who, when within a few moments of listening, one just doesn't notice them any more. The voice is pleasant, the rythymn and pace is just right, as are the accents and characterisations. There is nothing to jolt the listener away from the story and back to reality. Surely, this is how it should be? Such is their talent, that they can make or break an audiobook. Nigel Patterson is up there with the best of them, I fervently hope that the author and publishers continue to work with him for all future Andrew Hunter Audiobooks.

Fast paced missing persons case
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Definately. I really enjoyed this one. Not my normal fare, but I am glad I had the chance to hear it.
What did you like best about this story?
Something Wicked draws you in from the beginning with a lot of plot twists and well written characters. I was suprised at the ending, every time I pegged someone I turned out to be wrong. This book will keep you guessing until the end.
Have you listened to any of Nigel Patterson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I haven't listened to any others from this narrator, but I will be looking for them in the future. Nigel Patterson has an amazing voice and really makes the story a great listen.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I listened over two days- would have made one if it was possible.

SO many details...not enough story
I really like this author...I just finished reading Last Night and loved it
and also read The Child in the Photo and loved it. But I had to stop
listening to this at about 4 hours because nothing really happens and
the details are just endless. I really don't care if a shop owner had
dead skin in his beard or the next person has hairy nuckles. I just wanted
something to happen.
