This book is different to others by the same author. The stand-alone works as their is no back story but the ability to write another instalment after. I found it a bit slow at times but overall a good read.

Another fantastic mystery by Mr. Wilkinson
Difficult to put down. A real page Turner with much going on. You will love the Private Detective and his secretary. She is more then that and the clues get stronger and stronger. A book.You just can't put down. Yes, it is different from many of his other reads but great.

Kerry Wilkinson is a true writer of mystery and suspense and Something Wicked is proof of that. I always find myself so immersed in her stories. Twisted for sure!

I really enjoyed this first book in a new series by Kerry Wilkerson. I was pulled into the story from page one. Anticipating the next book in the series.

Kerry Wilkson is a master of suspense. I have yet to be disappointed by any of her books. Well written characters and plots.

A good strong start in a new series featuring Andrew Hunter. I enjoyed this and found ti easy to get into, easy to read and throughly enjoyable.

A new series begins for a well reviewed author and I'm so happy I read this one. Kerry Wilkinson is known for his many great series that do not bleed into each other. He has a huge fan club for his books.
Andrew Hunter is a PI hired to find a missing teenager. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance lead Andrew and his cast of characters into some surprising twists and turns. Along the way, they are also following a man whose wife is suspicious of his late night adventures. All in a day's work, right?
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I've read a few Kerry Wilkinson books and this is my favorite so far. I love finding a new series and am looking forward to book #2.

A suspenseful start to a new series. The author grabbed me into this book from the first chapters. I would definitely recommend !

Nicholas Carr disappeared on his 18th birthday. The cop searched for 9 months only to find 3 of his fingers. So his parents, Richard and Elaine, hire Andrew Hunter, investigator to find out what happened. Meanwhile Andrew is also hired by a woman to find out where her husband has been going at night.
We also get to know a little bit of Andrew's employee. She is a little weird but I like her. We also know that Andrew has an ex wife and we get to meet her and also find out what happened between them. So this book sets you up a little bit to get to know the characters for the rest of the series while also investigating. There is a lot of weirdness going on and looks like maybe some magic thrown in.

Something Wicked is a well written thriller. The plot has many twists and turns to keep the reader guessing. I highly recommend this to fans of suspense. My thanks to Netgalley for my ARC. This is my unbiased review.

Andrew Hunter is a Private Investigator, however as he appears to have no need of money one presumes it is more of a hobby. He has hired a slightly eccentric young lady, Jenny, to help him. She is a bit of an enigma to him but they seem to work well together.

The pair are investigating a man whose wife has suspicions as to his fidelity, but they also take on a case concerning the disappearance of a young man. Nicolas disappeared on the night of his 21st birthday. Leads seem to be few on the ground & his rather odd girlfriend does not seem to be very helpful.

This book is very slow to start, probably because this is the start of a new series & it was necessary to lay a foundation for it. Once it got going it was a good read & I look forward to reading more in the series.

Thanks to Netgalley & the publisher for giving me the chance to read & review this book.

Excellent book with a great storyline. Characters that are so well written. I would highly recommend this book to anyone!

Gritty thriller where everything and everybody seem unconnected until suddenly they're not. Some very good twists and revelations.

Andrew Hunter is a private investigator who looks for those who are missing. Richard Carr comes to Andrew asking him to help him find his missing son, Nicholas. He has been missing for nine months and the police have pretty much giving up on things. They found three of his fingers in the woods and just assume he must be dead.

At first there doesn’t seem to be a lot to go on but with the help of his assistant Jenny they dig in a little deeper and find some things that are really strange and Andrew is not real sure what to make of it at first but soon it starts to come together. Besides this case he is also working on a case that ends up being more than he bargained for and a reason why he doesn’t take on adultery cases. So he has a lot on this plate.

I liked Andrew somewhat but I think he is a little messed up but maybe that makes him a good PI. Something he did in his past which I can’t say doesn’t put him high on my list of favorite PI’s but he is still an interesting character. Jenny on the other hand is probably my favorite because she has a weird problem which worries Andrew a bit. She lacks empathy for anyone and doesn’t understand certain things and has no ability to be scared of anything which can land her in trouble. She is just pretty awesome.

Plot wise I have to say I was kind of bored up until about 50% or so as it just seemed like nothing was happening, but then there was a turn in the case and some good solid leads that starts to make things move quicker and become more interesting. It had a twist at the end that I didn’t see coming and so that was nice.

Overall, I thought it was an okay story and I will most likely look into the next book in the series. (Mostly for Jenny!) 🙂 If you like British crime stories check it out.

Something Wicked is a re-released UK novel by very popular author Kerry Wilkinson. I have read so many amazing reviews of Wilkinson's books and I was really looking forward to reading one by him. Something Wicked is the first in the Andrew Hunter series so I thought this would be a great place to begin. And it was. 
Andrew Hunter is a sarcastic, interesting PI with a past. His smart, quirky and sassy side-kick, Jenny, helps him along with her techie knowledge and inability to truly sense danger. Together they make a terrific team. Let me say that I would read entire books featuring Jenny alone - she is a great character! 

What appears to be a run of the mill missing persons case soon turns devilishly wicked. There are so many twists and turns with a shocking surprise ending that at times it was hard to keep up with who was who and doing what. However, all of that served to keep the suspense building until the climactic conclusion. This is definitely a fast paced thriller! 

I did find certain tics rather annoying, things that I seriously doubt many other readers would notice. Andrew Hunter complains about being "old" a LOT. A whole lot. He hurts, cannot bend down, has problems running, etc. etc. I kept waiting to find out how old he was, perhaps he was a retired former cop or maybe he had an old war injury. Nope. He's in his THIRTIES! WTH!? He also worries incessantly about people perceiving him to be an old pervert because Jenny - his assistant - is a very young beautiful woman. She's in her 20's! Okay, seriously, this got to be incredibly tiresome. Nosy neighbors weren't just "annoying neighbors," they were old women (40s or 50s) with jiggly, purple lined thighs. Really. When I was in my mid-twenties, I dated a man 15 years older than me. He was 40. Hello!? This is the 21st century and age discrimination and elder shaming should not even be in someone's wheelhouse! I'm in my mid-50s and if I could not bend down to get something off of the floor without complaining, I would be in a doctor's office in a nanosecond to find out what the hell was wrong with me and, believe me, I have a lot of things wrong with me! Subtle messages like this serve to re-enforce the stereotypes against aging. I did not like it at all. I liked it even less when I looked up Wilkinson's bio and read HIS age! Based on this type of stereotyping - needless and unnecessary to the story or character development- I won't be reading any more of his books. There simply are too many other great writers out there to waste my time on a twenty-something boy who stereotypes people over 30. (See - that was age-bias. It's not pretty, is it?) With that said, however, overlooking this HUGE drawback, the book is a good mystery and with a strange and wicked ending.

This is my second book by this author and I loved it as much as the first one. The plot is twisting and turning with a surprise at the end. There is lots of action which keeps the story going at a good pace. One thing that I especially love about Kerry Wilkinson books is the humor that he puts in...makes me laugh out loud. I felt this was a good start to a new series and I hope to read the next installment. Highly recommended!!

I really enjoy good detective series and when I saw that Kerry Wilkinson had a new one, I was excited to dive right into it. Andrew Hunter is the private investigator and Jenny is his young, sassy side-kick. I really enjoyed both of these characters and the way Jenny was willing to just get the job done. The chemistry between them was evident and I thought they were a great team. I also love a strong female character with some backbone!

The case they are involved in has a definite creepy factor with some graphic clues that had me gasping a bit. There is quite a bit of action that keeps the story moving. This team starts to piece all the clues together and they ultimately discover some things that put them both in grave danger. There is a twist that brings it all together in the end in a satisfying way.

I will be picking up the next installment to see what Andrew and Jenny will be up to next!

Kerry Wilkinson has become a quick favorite of mine with his wit and humor that he throws into his stories. This is the first book in the Andrew Hunter series and I am looking forward to reading more of this series for sure!

Andrew is a private investigator that is not fond of doing adultery cases. Andrew really doesn't have to work but passes the time by doing some PI work here and there. He has a smart as a tack assistant, Jenny that is valuable to his work for sure. She is always on top of everything for Andrew and seems to be one step ahead of him at all times.

When Andrew is contacted by Nicolas Carr's father, Richard, to look into the missing case of his son, Andrew takes on this case because Richard still seems distraught by his son's disappearance. When three fingers were found with no other explanation of whether they were Nicolas's or not from the local police, Richard wants answers. When Andrew starts to go off of some leads he has and contacting some witnesses and friends of Nicolas, we get to meet some characters that take us on a wild ride. Will any of these people be the one that knows what happened to Nicolas Carr?

There is always an unexpected turn in Wilkinson's books that I never see coming and this one is no different. You will be surprised by the ending for sure. I look forward to other books in the Andrew Hunter series now!

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this book. All opinions are my own!

Kerry Wilkinson has fast become an auto-download for me!

This is the first book in the Andrew hunter series, a series new to the US, but previously released in the UK... Andrew doesn’t need to work he has chosen to be a PI to keep busy.... Jenny his assistant is a quirky straightforward character with some empathy issues... not sure what it was? could have just been the PI thing or the male/female thing, but something about this reminded me of the television show “Moonlighting“.... but then Andrew and Jenny would eventually get together, not sure about that?!?!

Richard’s son Nicholas disappeared almost a year ago... all that was ever found were three of his fingers.... The police have given up due to the lack of leads, that’s when Richard employees Andrew.... The case takes you places you don’t want to go when it comes to a missing 18-year-old, including The occult... The investigation was fast paced, dark, intense, and ultimately surprising....

The perfect start to a new series that I recommend to fans of crime thrillers who like a little humor woven in...

*** many thanks to Bookouture for my copy of this book ***

Dare I say it? You will NEVER guess the ending to this Kerry Wilkinson book. I was absolutely floored by the ending even though I read so many mystery and suspense books. As a big fan of Wilkinson's Jessica Daniel series, I thought I'd give the Andrew Hunter series a try. Love, love, love and I can't wait to read more. 18-year-old Nicolas Carr disappears on his birthday and is nowhere to be found. Three of his fingers are found in the woods and he is presumed dead. With some no-holds-barred action, Andrew and his assistant, Jenny go after everyone and anyone who may know anything about Nicolas' disappearance. Their findings lead them to suspicious and dark characters and the story unfolds exactly where it begins. The reader is given just enough backstory on Andrew to make you wonder more about the guy without boring the reader with unnecessary details.  A fantastic read for fans of big twist endings.

Thank you to Netgalley, Kerry Wilkinson, and Pan Macmillan for my ARC in exchange for an honest review.
