Locked in (Jessica Daniel Book 1)
Locked in (Jessica Daniel Book 1) | Kerry Wilkinson
16 posts | 8 read | 11 to read
Most people who get promoted at work are pleased but for Detective Sergeant Jessica Daniel it comes with the knowledge she is replacing her mentor who was stabbed in a bar fight.She barely has time to start doubting her abilities though before a body is found in a locked house with seemingly no way in or out.DS Daniel not only has to prepare for a court date against the scourge of the force, barrister Peter Hunt, she also has to hold off a journalist who seems to know more than she does about her case.With a car that even junior officers joke about, an investigation with no leads and a best mate whose love life is finally settling down, the detective thinks she has enough on her plate and that's before a second body turns up in identical circumstances to the first.How can a murderer get to victims in seemingly impossible situations and what, if anything, links the bodies?This is Book One in the Jessica Daniel series of detective novels.

I really wanted to love this book.... but I just got annoyed. I‘m thinking it‘s me and not the book. Hopefully the next book is better because I‘ve heard lots of praises for this series! 🌟🌟🌟

MicheleinPhilly It does get better, I promise. 3y
eanderson @MicheleinPhilly I trust your judgement and I will definitely try the second book soon! 😊 3y

robinb What a beautiful quilt! 😍 4y
eanderson @robinb thank you! My grandma has some friends at her church that make them. They made it as soon as they found out from her about my diagnosis. 4y
robinb @eanderson it‘s gorgeous and such a sweet gesture. My grandma quilted and I think of her every time I look at mine. ❤️ I wish I had had her teach me how. But I‘m pretty much hopeless except for sewing on buttons. 😂😩 4y

Finally getting around to starting this series. Thanks to @MicheleinPhilly reviews I decided it was time! 😀

I needed to find something to fill the Kim Stone sized hole in my heart and this fit the bill. It felt a bit clunky in the early pages but found its groove. I definitely read too many of these books though because I found myself thinking, “Look for a _____!” from the jump. 🕵🏻‍♀️ I look forward to continuing. #StartASeries #SeriesRead2021

squirrelbrain I wonder if anything is better than Kim Stone?! 4y
MicheleinPhilly @squirrelbrain Helen Grace is my forever #1 but unfortunately M.J. Arlidge writes a lot more slowly than Angela Marsons. 4y
squirrelbrain I might have to try those sometime.... 4y

MicheleinPhilly @eanderson I read the first 3 pages of The Puppet Show and had flashbacks to Thanksgiving when I spilled a bowl of boiling gravy on my hand. 😩 4y
eanderson Oh no!!! Lol! Totally have had that happen. Maybe it‘s too soon? That‘s something that will stick around in the good ole memory box for a while! No need to relive it! 4y
MicheleinPhilly @eanderson Yeah, I decided to go with the 2nd book in this series instead. I need more time to recover from my trauma. 😂 4y
eanderson Good idea! 😂 I need to start this series. I have this book on my kindle, of course! 4y
TrishB I love this series 👍🏻 I‘m actually up to date in this one too. 4y

Gritty, often humorous, detective series set in Manchester. Love Jessica, she‘s in line with the bad ass woman criteria.

My #WeeklyForecast under the new rules:
No gatherings of 10 or more people, only medical centers, food markets and pharmacies are open otherwise all is closed!
It‘s a good time to be a reader or Netflix binger.
I‘m not sure if bookclub will be meeting 🤷🏼‍♀️
Staying positive is my mode of defense 💚
From the 4 books I‘m in the midst of, I‘m only drawn to the 9/11 audio which is incredibly moving 💔

BarbaraBB Take care! Fortunately we can gather with as many as we like on Litsy 😇 5y
Cathythoughts It‘s a good time to be a reader for sure ... 👍🏻❤️ 5y
Cinfhen That‘s soooooo true @BarbaraBB and Littens are my tribe ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ hope you‘re feeling well @Cathythoughts 💚💚💚 5y

batsy I'm glad we have our books and Litsy, little things that go a long way 💜📚 5y
Kalalalatja Great thinking @BarbaraBB 😉 I don‘t know what I would do if I wasn‘t a reader 😅 5y
TrishB Finding it hard to stay positive or read! But will keep trying. Work is still open though all lectures cancelled, most people will be working at home ASAP. The govt approach currently is not to shut down 🤷‍♀️ 5y
squirrelbrain Yes, @BarbaraBB @Cathythoughts @batsy @Kalalalatja @Cinfhen - what would we do without books? And, well said Barbara, I‘m so grateful for this wonderful community too. Sending love @TrishB 😘 5y
BarbaraBB @TrishB We‘re not having a total shut down either. Yet. I spent yesterday at the beach and that was so good. To literally get away from it all. In the city things are more panicked I think. 5y
erzascarletbookgasm Lots of anxiety for everyone, with so many things uncertain. Litsy keeps me sane!❤️ Take care, @Cathythoughts @batsy @Kalalalatja @TrishB @squirrelbrain @BarbaraBB @Cinfhen 5y
alisiakae With school out, my reading is going way down. 😩 5y
valeriegeary I love the idea of staying positive as a mode of defense... Will try to incorporate this in my own life. Starless Sea is a wild ride.... Beautifully written prose but very meta fiction and the plot is pretty tangled....I still loved it though. 😆 5y
MicheleinPhilly Only you can find comfort in reading about 9/11. But you do you, boo. 😉😘 5y
Cinfhen Hahahaha @MicheleinPhilly I feel like surviving 9/11 is a reminder that as a country we‘ve survived worse 5y
Suet624 @MicheleinPhilly so true. @cinfhen you brought me comfort this morning as I read your posts. Just doing your thing and being active on Litsy. ❤️ 5y
Cinfhen Thanks so much @Suet624 xx I hope you and all the little ones are ok 🧡🧡🧡 5y

Body is found in a locked house. DS Jessica Daniel has to find killer & how they got in & out. A 2nd body shows up, identical circumstances to the first. What, if anything, links the bodies? I found this to be a very good debut novel from Kerry Wilkinson. Started slow but soon I was quickly turning the pages. Kept me guessing until the very end. Suspenseful & clever writing. I'm look forward to reading the next book in the series. Recommended.

TrishB Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻 it‘s another one of those series that gets better and better! 5y
EadieB @TrishB Can‘t believe how good it was for a debut! Thanks for sending the books to me! 5y
TrishB Welcome 😁 it‘s not a well known series, so good to spread the word. 5y
EadieB @TrishB Litsy will help! His books are so easy to read too! 5y

Series offer on kindle 😀 this is a great Manchester based detective series. 99p what's not to like!

minkyb Amazon should offer this deal everywhere! 7y
TrishB @minkyb I know - it always annoys me when the UK/US deals aren't the same! 7y
minkyb They are $2.99 in the US. Tempting but 99p is a no brainer. 7y

I'm not great at giving book summaries, but here goes...Jessica Daniels is a detective sergeant in Great Britian investigating a series of murders where the victim is found locked inside their homes and no obvious point of entry or exit from the killer. Daniels is baffled and frustrated...the course of the investigation also leads her to realize new things about herself and her mentors. Overall, pretty good read, looking forward to the next book

British read, titled Locked In there, The Killer Inside here. I'm reading this one on my kindle...I usually have one going on my kindle while a reading a hard back at home. Makes it easier to always have a book in some form with me at all times! Lol. 29% in, pretty decent read.

This was a crime fiction/police procedural/thriller novel packed with action, tension, and a well developed lead character that you can‘t help but root for. The various subplots taking place added to the story in a nice way without being distracting and unnecessary, I especially enjoyed Jess and Garry‘s scenes and the way she teased him.
