While Jodie is going through her father’s things after he passed away, she is shocked to discover a T-shirt that belonged to her boyfriend Ben of twenty years ago. Their last parting is forever imprinted on her brain which makes it easy for her to recognize that T-shirt. But, as Ben was tragically murdered, Jodie can’t help but wonder why her father had that T-shirt.
Her father was every man to every person. Beloved and respected. Now Jodie has to wonder about him so she looks for answers. Meanwhile, Jodie is dealing with another conflict. Her father left everything to her, but nothing to her brother. Then, there is someone following Jodie about town. Could the person charged with Ben’s murder be innocent, and was her father involved in any way? While looking for answers, Jodie is also struggling with the tentative relationship she has with her son Owen. With these things doing on, will Jodie be able to find the answers she seeks?
In this character-driven story, readers are given privy to Jodie - her feelings, her concerns, and her motives. The Boyfriend is a compelling story, with shocking twists and a heartbreaking ending. Kerry Wilkinson has written another stellar book for his fans to devour.
Many thanks to Bookouture and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Kerry Wilkinson is from the English county of Somerset but has spent far too long living in the north. It’s there that he’s picked up possibly made-up regional words like ‘barm’ and ‘ginnel’. He pretends to know what they mean.
He’s also been busy since turning thirty: his Jessica Daniel crime series has sold more than a million copies in the UK; he has written a fantasy-adventure trilogy for young adults; a second crime series featuring private investigator Andrew Hunter and the standalone thriller, Down Among The Dead Men.
