About this listen
Crimebusting duo DI Jackman and DS Evans are back, solving another crime that will make your skin crawl.
Police detective Carter McLean is the only survivor of a plane crash that kills his four best friends. He returns to work, but he is left full of guilt and terrible flashbacks. So for each of his four friends, he decides to complete something that they left unfinished.
Eighteen months before the crash, Suzanne Holland disappeared, leaving a room with traces of blood but no other leads. Suzanne was the wife of one of Carter’s four best friends. Adding to the pressure, the boss’ niece has a stalker. Due to the sensitivity of the Holland case, Carter is put on this investigation.
DS Marie Evans is the only person Carter can confide in. But even she begins to doubt whether he can really cope and whether he is actually losing his mind. DI Jackman and DS Evans of the Fenland police face a battle to untangle three mysteries, and can they really believe their friend and colleague Carter?

Introducing Richard Armitage, our star narrator
Richard is well-known for his array of film, television and theatre work, including The Hobbit, Spooks and The Crucible. His trademark baritone voice has earned him recognition, too, through his performance on many notable audiobooks as well as in TV and radio show narration. This experience shines through in Armitage's gripping performance of the Jackman and Evans series where he plays host to a plethora of characters.
And Joy Ellis, the book's author
Joy Ellis started her career as a flower seller in Mayfair in the 1960s, before going on to open her own florist in Surrey. When the recession hit, Joy had a career change and became a bookseller, and attended a writing course in Greece where she was mentored by Sue Townsend. She now lives in the Fens with her partner Jacqueline, where the flatlands and marshes provide inspiration for her eerie plotlines.
Meet Joy Ellis
We travelled to the Lincolnshire Fens, the home of Joy Ellis and the setting of the Jackman and Evans series, to find out more.What listeners say about The Fourth Friend

overall an enjoyable read
this one was worth reading however not as gripping as previous books in the series. the events did not hang together and seemed a little too far fetched. the book was nevertheless an interesting read

Brilliant!
This story is so skilfully crafted and told that the characters come to life and feel like friends. The subject of the story is sad rather than despicable and I had to listen to the end chapters twice to get to grips with the outcome. Loved it!

Could be tempted by another from the author
A few cliches along the way but an enjoyable listen. Very well read and I liked the characters. wrapped up a bit too quickly at the end but was a reasonable outcome.

Already looking forward to the next book!
Another reminder ehy I enjoy books narrated by Richard Armitage. After a while you fight it isn’t actually different actors and that it is still just the one.
As for the story, very engaging and kept me nicely distracted at a very difficult time. Next book already on ore-order!
