The Sixth Wicked Child

Written by J. D. Barker

Narrated by Edoardo Ballerini and Graham Winton

In the riveting conclusion of the 4MK trilogy, Barker takes the thriller to an entirely new level. Don't miss a single word of the series James Patterson called "ingenious." Hear No Evil For Detective Sam Porter, the words "Father, forgive me" conjure memories long forgotten; a past intentionally buried. For Anson Bishop, these three words connect a childhood to the present as he unleashes a truth concealed for decades. See No Evil Found written on cardboard near each body, these words link multiple victims to a single killer-discovered within minutes of each other in both Chicago and South Carolina-clearly connected yet separated by impossible miles. Speak No Evil Chicago Metro and the FBI find themselves caught in chaos-a hospital on lockdown, a rogue officer, and corruption at the highest levels. When Anson Bishop, the prime suspect in the notorious 4MK serial murders turns himself in, he reveals a story completely unexpected, one that not only upends the current investigation, but one that will change the lives of all involved. Do No Evil With unrelenting tension and pulse-pounding suspense, the past unravels at breakneck speed as the truth behind the Four Monkey Killer's motive is finally revealed in this masterfully crafted finale.

Great ending didn’t see it coming but it tied it all up perfectly in a little box with black string

[mlpedler · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I enjoyed the final book but it was long and a bit convoluted. Otherwise it would be 5 stars. The ending was fantastic though. Love the narrators

To begin, it was weird reading this now, during the COVID-19 pandemic, as this book begins with a hospital full of quarantined folks due to the SARS virus! AND THEN ---- there's this, on page 499!!! "Inside were two glass vials, both labeled MONEHUGH LABS - CORONA VIRUS - SEVERE ACUTE RESPIRATORY SYNDROME." WTF???? This book was published in 2019 folks! I'm looking at you, J.D. Barker!This book wraps up the trilogy, by basically tracking down the answer to the question, who is the 4MK killer? Is it Sam Porter? Is it Anson Bishop? Or neither? Or both? Is the journal real? What is missing from Sam's memory? And who are the good guys, who are the bad guys, and do motives justify means? It's a lot, and for a time, I was a little overwhelmed with who did what to whom!?!? But it wraps up very well, and the ending is nearly perfect, in my opinion! And it was a real page turner of a read! I'm glad I read all three!But I still want to know about that Corona Virus mention at the end. Again, WTF?
