Wicked Jenny

A Cautionary Tale Novel

By: Matt Hilton

Narrated by: David Thorpe

1988: Thirteen-year-old Andy Miller and his friends - Carl, Brian, Johnny and Gavin - become witnesses to the vicious attack of their classmate, Poppy, and the brutal murder of her sister at a flooded railway line they call the frog ponds. They lead the police to a suspect, a vulnerable older boy whose differences single him out. But when he commits suicide, his guilt is never proven. And the crime goes unpunished, until . . .

Now: Carl's body is found beside the same body of water - and the lives of the four remaining friends start to unravel. Is the hag-like woman terrorising their every waking moment really a grown-up Poppy hellbent on revenge? Or something else . . . something steeped in childhood nightmares? Something determined to reveal the truth and punish the wicked.

It was ok

The story entertained me well enough but the plot twist felt cheap and the last chapter was very corny. I don’t regret listening, but I would not recommend to a friend.

Awesome!

This was very good and kept me interested. The narrator did a good job.
