Something Hidden by Kerry Wilkinson

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Synopsis:
Fiona Methodist's father is accused of shooting dead a young couple at point-blank range before turning the gun on himself. She knows her softly spoken father wasn't capable of killing, and won't stop until she clears his name.

For investigator Andrew Hunter--no stranger to cases that appear unsolvable--it's obvious something doesn't add up. When he digs into a robbery, the murdered couple witnessed just days before they died, a chilling clue at the scene of the crime leads Andrew to a horrible realization...

Will Andrew have to put his own life at risk to find the truth?

Review:
Kerry Wilkinson serves up another delicious slab of mystery and intrigue in this second book in his Andrew Hunter series.

Andrew and his skilled sidekick Jenny's relationship is so well written. It's delightful to read and also brings a lightness and touch of humour to even out the steely tone.

The chapters flow well, and the twists are nicely placed. This is a great book by Kerry that whets the appetite for more Andrew Hunter!

I haven't read the first book in this series but figured Book 2 was as good a place as any to start. The story features Andrew Hunter who is a Private Investigator who takes on a case working for Fiona Methodist. A young couple are shot and killed by a war veteran and then it's discovered they were witnesses due to give evidence on a robbery they witnessed. That war veteran is Fiona's father Luke and Andrew takes the case pro-bono. Alongside Andrew is his assistant Jenny and while Andrew is working one case she takes on another. Jenny is a great character and I really liked the fact that she and Andrew were polar opposites.

We also get to see Andrew dealing with family including his ex-wife and his Aunt. I liked Andrew but I think it may have helped me to read the first book to get a real idea of the main characters that are appearing again. The story kept me reading and the writing was decent but for some reason I couldn't really engage with this book on some level. It is definitely not a bad book but I think I should have either read book 1 first or maybe tried this authors series featuring Jessica Daniel. I think I may well give it a couple of months and try book 1 of that series.
