A review of Something Hidden

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2019

This is the first book that I have read by Kerry Wilkinson, so I was unsure what to expect.

The story starts out strong and introduces you very quickly to the background story of what will eventually become the primary case that is being investigated by Andrew Hunter. Andrew is hired pro bono by Fiona Methodist to look into her father's case. Her father is deceased, but she refuses to believe that her father was responsible for the death of two young college students who were witness to a jewelry store robbery.

In addition to Fiona Methodists' case, Andrew is also hired to look into the theft of two highly awarded Bengal cats. This case adds a bit of humor to the overall story, as Andrew does not like cats.

The complicated relationship dynamics that Kerry build into the story help to provide some airiness to what other wise is a sad story, when thinking of Fiona Methodist. There is the complicated and yet romantic relationship between Andrew and his ex-wife Keira, who he has recently started seeing again. Kerry does a wonderful job in developing these characters relationships, but what he does towards the end is shocking and leaves you wondering if Andrew and Keira will ever get back together with the new information that has come to light. Then you have to add in Keira's father who cares for his daughter, but is ruthless and harsh to Andrew.

Then there is Jenny, Andrew's assistant. She is a hard one to understand because she is such a unique and unusual character. I am curious to learn more about Jenny and her past as Kerry keeps you pretty much in the dark about her. From what you learn in the story though, Jenny is a strong woman who has no fear of anything and is willing to stand up for those she cares about even if it means that she could get injured herself.

This was a really good book to read and at times it did move slowly. I also did wonder, if the theft of the two Bengals was necessary to the story or not. For this reason, I am giving the book a 3 out of 5.

Book Two equally as good as the first

Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2018

Whenever the news reports on a shooting, I often wonder about the family of the shooter. They truly are victims as much as those shot and their families. So I loved that Wilkinson picked this as the theme for his second Andrew Hunter book.

Fiona Methodist is the daughter of a war vet that kills two university students and then kills himself. She has been ostracized and driven from her job and home since the killings. Convinced her father didn’t do it, she comes to Andrew asking him to find out the truth.

Andrew and Jenny are both slightly off, but they have wonderful powers of observation. And it’s Jenny’s powers of observation that lead her to know exactly what to do, especially for Gem. She is consistently the shining light of this series.

I love the ambiguous ending to this. “Battle not with monsters lest ye become a monster.”

This is a very different series from Wilkinson’s Jessica Daniel series. Much darker. But I enjoy it every bit as much.

My Thanks to netgalley and Bookouture for an advance copy of this book.

Pure entertainment! Keeps the reader wanting more!

Something Hidden is an appropriate title for this book, as it turns out that many things are hidden!

Andrew Hunter, a 35 year old Private Investigator, finds himself with two cases as opposite as can be. Fiona Methodist is a young woman who wants to clear her father's name. Luke Methodist is widely believed to have murdered a young couple, who were witnesses to the robbery of a jewelry store, before killing himself. His infamy has caused her to lose her job and her apartment and she wants her life back. Andrew takes her case pro bono.

Case #2 finds him searching for the kidnapper(s) of two Bengal cats, a special and highly expensive breed created by mating a Bengal tiger with a cat. The owner is quite distraught, and though Andrew himself is scared of cats, before he knows it he has promised her to find out what happened to them.

Between working the cases which have him meeting all kinds of characters, he's also looking out for his aged Aunt Gemma and trying to sort out his ongoing feelings about his ex-wife, Keira.

I like Andrew. He's very relatable and personable, and honest about his failings and flaws. I also like Jenny, his assistant, full of spunk and sass, seemingly fearless, and an enigma to Andrew. To witness their interactions with each other is pure entertainment.

Told using the third person narrative, the story alternates between sixteen months ago when the jewelry store robbery occurred, and current day, when his compassion leads him to take on these two cases. The current day parts are marked day by day, with all of the action happening in a relatively short time-frame. Combine an interesting story with short chapters and you write a book that keeps the reader wanting to read more.

This is an entertaining read, and rates 3.5 stars from me.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for allowing me to read an e-ARC of this book in exchange for an honest, unbiased review. All opinions expressed here are my own.

Great chemistry

This is the second book in the Andrew Hunter series by author Kerry Wilkinson.

I really enjoyed the first book in this series 'Something Wicked' so was anticipating more of the same. What I got was very close to the high quality of the first book and well worth a read. I love the chemistry between Andrew Hunter and his side kick Jenny. The books have good plots, strong characters and plenty of action.

Fiona Methodist's war veteran father shot a young couple in broad daylight before killing himself. The engaged pair witnessed a robbery and were due to give evidence, but with all three dead, no one knows the true motive. Fiona's life is now destroyed, people dislike her and no one wants anything to do with her. Fiona is positive that her father is innocent and approaches Private Investigator Andrew Hunter to prove her beliefs.

This series is well written and different to Kerry Wilkinson's other series which I also enjoy. Plots are well planned, excellent characters and lots of twists throughout. This series is another winner for me and fully intend to continue reading it.

Yet another excellent read from Kerry Wilkinson

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 28, 2016

Having thoroughly enjoyed the first book in the series 'Something Wicked', I was eager to read more about Andrew Hunter and his quirky assistant Jenny, so thank you for the preview copy.
Set in Kerry Wilkinson’s familiar Manchester the story starts sixteen months earlier with a jewellery store robbery witnessed by a young couple who are subsequently shot. Everyone believes Luke Methodist was responsible but his daughter Fiona wants to hire Andrew to prove otherwise. This investigation is interlaced with others including some bizarre cat ladies and yet again Andrew finds himself involved with people and situations he wishes he could have avoided.
It is interesting to learn further aspects of Andrew’s life both past and present. He still does his best to avoid confrontation, frustratingly so at times, but I still found myself empathising with him and sharing his feelings many occasions. Jenny, however, remains a bit of an enigma.
The places and events are realistic enough to make you feel part of the story and to experience the emotions of the characters and as always, there are the inevitable twist and turns and misdirection we have come to expect from Kerry Wilkinson.
All in all an enjoyable second book in the series, and leaving just enough questions in my mind to make me impatient for more in the series.

Well yet again Kerry has pulled another great story out of the bag

Well yet again Kerry has pulled another great story out of the bag. The 2nd in the Andrew Hunter series and I'm really liking him, living in the centre of Manchester with all the great detail about the city and surrounding areas it really brings the book to life.

Andrew doesn't have to work but does, more often than not for free as he has a gut feeling or is it taking pity on someone, along with his sidekick Jenny who featured far more in this book and undoubtedly will feature in the next book after the twist at the end of this.
Great storyline about the murders, who actually did it and the missing Bengal cats, who did steal them?
Will Andrew be reconciled with his ex wife Keira or will her father have a say in it again?
Lots of twists and turns in the book which kept me guessing right until the end and now I can't wait for the next one, thank you very much to Kerry for sending me a review copy I loved it!

Another great book by Kerry Wilkinson

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 28, 2016

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Again Kerry Wilkinson had me there relating to what the characters were going through.

The pain and turmoil Andrew felt over the loss of his ex-wife was so vivid in how Kerry wrote. The expectation of whether they would get back together was written so well it was hard to know which way it would go. Felt for both of them it did not work out.

Liked the way there are questions over Jenny. What is it about her past. Can't wait for the next book in this series as feel want to find out what else they get involved in

The murdet plot the cat kidnap was great too. So many different people and different way of life. Could equate how Andrew was protective and caring for his aunt but also frustrated on her refusing to move and being so trusting.

Another great book by Kerry Wikinson and can't wait for the next instalment.

MANY THINGS HIDDEN

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 19, 2016

One again Kerry Wilkinson serves up another great book.

In Something Hidden we are given another slice of Andrew Hunter's life.
Not only are we allowed to follow Andrew as he solves a couple more crimes but we are allowed to go a bit deeper into his personal life We are given some facts and allowed to share a few secrets but as in all great stories there is always more questions than answers.
We have shared some of the things hidden beneath the surface but knowing Kerry Wilkinson there are many more yet to come.

As is the stuff of good story telling not only do we know a bit more about the central characters but his skill of setting the scene is incredible. Manchester is not only the setting of this story, as in the Jessica Daniels novels, but it is a central very important character in the story and it is painted in minute detail. Not only is it described in sight but in this story it is almost possible to smell it and feel the ever present dampness under the expertly painted colours of the sky.

Congratulations and can't wait until the next one !!
