About this audiobook
To catch the killer who eluded her detective grandfather fifty years ago, a true-crime podcaster must contend with outdated evidence, ulterior motives, and the dark family secrets that got in the way.
True-crime podcaster Jess Keeler has returned to Deeton County, North Carolina, to pick up where her grandfather left off. Sheriff’s Deputy Big Jim Ballard, her grandfather, was a respected detective—until it all came crashing down during a 1972 murder investigation.
For Jim, solving the murders of two teens should have been the highlight of his already storied career. Instead, he battled his own mind, unsure where his hunches ended and the truth began.
Working from her grandfather’s disjointed notes, Jess is sure that she can finally put the cold case—and her family’s shame—to rest. Enlisting the help of disgraced reporter Dan Decker, Jess soon discovers ugly truths about the first investigation, which was shaped by corruption, egos, and a family secret that may be the key to the crime.
Told in a dual timeline that covers both investigations, Something Bad Wrong explores human folly, hubris, and how sometimes, to solve a crime, you have to find out who’s covering it up.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5There were 0 reviews and I felt sorry for the author and it sounded interesting so I tried it.
It was great until the politics started 9 hours in and when Jess said " those people are capable of anything" (meaning Trump supporters) I said "THAT'S IT" and shut it down with 3 hrs left.
Jess states this while accusing a guy of being a liar to protect her grandpa; typical hypocrite.
I'll never know who did it and don't even care.
If you hate Trump supporters just for having flags and think their all redneck hillbillies you'll LOVE THIS BOOK.
