Description
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?

A bit of a disappointment
This is a tough one. I truly enjoy Joy Ellis’s work. After the first two books in this series, Jackman and Evans and their team have become interesting and I’m curious as to where things go with them. For that reason I finished this book. Oh, and Richard Armitage’s narration helped a great deal, too.
The story itself was difficult. I couldn’t get invested in the players, mainly Carter. I had to force myself to keep going.
I smiled at the mention of Nikki Galena (one of my favorite characters) and I want to know more about Orlagh in the basement.
This is my least favorite book in the series but I’ll continue with it while waiting for the next Nikki Galena book.

I did finish the book
I thought this book was OK, and I did finish it, The characters were fine, but the actual story did not sit well with me. SPOILER ALERT: I would like to listen to a police procedural where the criminal, murderer, victim, etc. is not the police, main character, co-worker, friend, spouse, neighbor, pet, or partner. I would like to listen to a book about a police team working together to solve a case using a list of suspects outside the police circle. Can't a police team work together to solve a mystery without being a part of it?. The story was not happy, and had a dreary ending. Not a bad writer, but I would like to see a different story-line in the next book. I haven't decided if I want to listen to another book by this author. There won't be many fictional police left in the UK to write about, since most of them end up dead or guilty of a major crime. Too many books turn out the same way.

Ellis/Armitage knocks it out of the park again!
Wow! Joy Ellis never disappoints. Her attention to character development and details is superb. Her attention to police investigative techniques and forensics adds to the richness of her stories that grabs you from the start. Richard Armitage makes Ellis's stories a living, breathing story that cannot fully be described. You are transported as if you are standing right next to each person and inside each scene. He electrifies all five of your senses and holds your attention where you cannot stop listening. You have to know what happens next.

Best novel of the series
THE FOURTH FRIEND is Book 3 in the six novel (so far) Jackman and Evans series by British author Joy Ellis. For some unexplained reason I failed to listen to it until now. It's a marvelous psychological thriller, the only psychological thriller in the modern detective series. The narration by British actor Richard Armitage is flawless. Very highly recommended!

Disappointing
So sorry, but I have to disagree with all the five star reviews here. The book is ok, but just DEPRESSING with a capital D. Guy survives a plane crash that kills all his friends, and we watch as he sadly schleps around trying to get his life back while his burnt up, dead friends haunt him to finish "their stuff". I kept waiting for it to get better (all those 5 star reviews!), but it didn't.
Not a horrible mystery, but the story overall just left me feeling depressed. Doubt I'll bother trying the other books in this series, none of the characters really resonated with me.
Richard Armitage was great with the delivery of the story and the only reason I finished the book

Nah
This was a let down after how much I enjoyed "Their Lost Duaghters". The narrator is one of my favorites but this story fell flat for me. There was simply no flow and I found it difficult to figure out where the focus was intended. Was it the crash, the missing wife, the fued with the super, the dead guys? None of it panned out and how it was all explained was weak, making the end predicable and a bit absurd. I wouldn't suggest this book to a friend and I don't think it's any where close to as good as other books I've read by Joy Ellis.

Happily not what I expected.
I read the book first and then saw that Richard Armitage was the narrator in the audible version. I had to listen. While I enjoyed reading this book Richard's narration was spot on and gave me a whole new perspective. Going to have to check out more collaborations between Joy and Richard!

Best one in the Jackman/Evans Series
The Fourth Friend, by Joy Ellis. I listened to this on Audible. Narrated by Richard Armitage (North & South). The third installment in the Jackman and Evans series, DS Evans allows Detective Carter McLean back to work following his being the only survivor of a plane crash that killed his four best friends 18 mos earlier. When he confides in her that he sees his friends all the time and that they are each having him help them complete one last request, she wonders if she's made a mistake. When it turns out a missing woman is the wife of one of those friends, things get even dicier. I enjoy the characters in these books so much. Adding mental illness or the supernatural made the story even more interesting. Joy Ellis is very skilled at combining character, 3 different mysteries and elements of surprise making her books hard to put down. Richard Armitage is a stellar narrator moving seamlessly between character voices, leaving no doubt in your mind, which one is speaking. Enjoyed this very much.

Not the best in the series, but solid.
I prefer police procedurals that focus on a case, not completely focus on the internal team dynamics. I make an exception for this series because it is so well written and while I was initially wary when I noticed how focused the story was on Carter here, the way it’s laid out won me over completely. A lot of authors would have made a mess of this type of framework, but this works very smoothly.
The case is not that interesting in isolation but because of how complicated it gets, and how the suspicion dances around different suspects, including Carter, it keeps it interesting. Carter is a wild card – literally having visions of his dead friends and you wonder more and more if Carter’s guilt is just about how they died, or because he was somehow involved in the original murder. He feels more and more like a ticking time bomb and you wonder how long it will be before he snaps and how bad that will be.
Do I even have to bother mentioning how amazing Richard Armitage is at this point? His array of voices are incredible – even his female voices are impressive and his ‘old people’ voices are jaw dropping. Best voice actor I’ve heard on Audible, and that’s quite the compliment.
This series is an impressive example of the police procedural – I would usually be put off by the focus more on the team than the crime, but it’s so well written that I will read all of them without hesitation. Another strong entry. I don’t feel book 2 and 3 lived up to the exceptional #1, but still a very enjoyable read. What’s a bit missing from 2 and 3 is a great case to work on – the cases in 2 and 3 feel almost like an afterthought, an emphasis on the team and their methods and far less on the case itself. The case in #1 was fascinating, and I think if you added a more interesting case to this formula, you’d return to the excellence of #1. This one is a definite improvement on 2 and 3, if you want to focus on the investigators more than the investigation, then the story has to be interesting enough to distract from the case itself – this is an example of it done right. I was never bored or not interested, I was always curious where it was going. Not the best in the series but very solid.

Verworrene Geschichte
Dem dritten Roman ist schwieriger zu folgen als den ersten beiden. Der Anfang ist fulminant, ich werde die Szene wohl nicht so schnell vergessen. Danach kommen die Verstrickungen und erst gegen Ende wird alles klar. Empfehle ich aber trotzdem jedem. Armitage ist wie immer phänomenal.

Armitage is amongst they very best
Ellis story is a bit of everything. From psychodrama to a fair characterisation of life in the Lincolnshire fens. But what makes this book special is Richsrd Armitages brilliant dramatisation of sone fozen characters from all over the UK.

Starts off well
Another really well read story greatly enhances a thin plot which, after a great beginning rumbles towards an inevitable conclusion like a slow moving train.

A Good Story ruined.
Though the story had its lengths I liked it. But the end is totally botched.

Not the best story
I've heard from Joy Ellis, I must say. The plot is a little lame and not very catchy overall.
Especially the end I find rather constructed and not at all convincing.
Of course, Armitage's reading is as always beyond critique.
Wouldn't say it's a must to listen to. You could easily skip this one and not really loose anything tbh.

Grasping story with a turning twist
Watch out for spoiler if this is your first Joy Ellis book!
Grasping story if it is your first Joy Ellis Jackman. And Evans Book. If it isn’t, then you might wonder why in every of the first three books there is a bent, manipulative or cunning copper.
I really enjoyed listening to this book and couldn’t wait to get to the end and the turn come unexpectedly although I was already a bit wary in regards to the copper, but somehow the ending made me sad. I will try another of her books, but I hope with a different turn and twist!

Gut
Die Idee der Geschichte war gut, aber es fesselte mich leider nicht. Es lohnt sich trotzdem bis zum Ende zu zu hören.

Spannend wie immer
Die Handlung war wie immer gut durchdacht und spannend, hätte jedoch von einer etwas strafferen Erzählweise gewonnen.
