Wow！ A deeply disturbing story with many twists and turns。 I could not put it down and read deep into the night to finish it。 Highly recommended！

This is DC Adams and his team with a challenging murder to deal with。 This is a great crime thriller not just about the Super Cop but a whole team with interviews a Netflix series and a whole lot more。 You never get to rest as the twist may not be every page but they are fast and furious。 The characters were great and believable not all of them likeable just like real life， some of them are very likeable。 And the Rawleys what the truth obviously that's the story but you will have a very hard tim This is DC Adams and his team with a challenging murder to deal with。 This is a great crime thriller not just about the Super Cop but a whole team with interviews a Netflix series and a whole lot more。 You never get to rest as the twist may not be every page but they are fast and furious。 The characters were great and believable not all of them likeable just like real life， some of them are very likeable。 And the Rawleys what the truth obviously that's the story but you will have a very hard time working them out。 I just enjoyed this so much the whole novel， every page had me hooked， a phase often used but this was so much the case for me。 I really hope it is for You as well。 。。。more

Another gripping police procedural， this is book 6 in a very popular series and for those who enjoy a well written crime drama， it’s the series for you。 The author is excellent at peppering the narrative with ingenious additions such as social media extracts and in this book， a Netflix series！ This really maintained my interest and helps the books flow。It’s a murder mystery with a difference and there are twists and turns as DI Adam Fawley and his team work to crack the case。 The team are detail Another gripping police procedural， this is book 6 in a very popular series and for those who enjoy a well written crime drama， it’s the series for you。 The author is excellent at peppering the narrative with ingenious additions such as social media extracts and in this book， a Netflix series！ This really maintained my interest and helps the books flow。It’s a murder mystery with a difference and there are twists and turns as DI Adam Fawley and his team work to crack the case。 The team are detailed at the beginning of the book， which is useful if this is your first read， or， you are like me and easily confused！Overall， a thoroughly enjoyable read。 。。。more

Wow！ Book six in Cara Hunter’s DI Adam Fawley series。 This is a fabulous read， a page turner， lots of twists， plots within plots， to keep the reader hooked。 The Fawley team with some new additions work round the clock。 A brilliant plot。 Definitely my favourite detective series at the moment。 Very clever the way the emails， newspaper clippings， voicemails etc are used。 A gripping read。 I highly recommend this entire series。 Thanks to Net Galley and Penguin General UK for an ARC of this book book Wow！ Book six in Cara Hunter’s DI Adam Fawley series。 This is a fabulous read， a page turner， lots of twists， plots within plots， to keep the reader hooked。 The Fawley team with some new additions work round the clock。 A brilliant plot。 Definitely my favourite detective series at the moment。 Very clever the way the emails， newspaper clippings， voicemails etc are used。 A gripping read。 I highly recommend this entire series。 Thanks to Net Galley and Penguin General UK for an ARC of this book book in exchange for a review。 。。。more

I would like to thank Netgalley and Penguin General UK for an advance copy of Hope to Die， the sixth novel to feature DI Adam Fawley of Thames Valley Police。The police are called to a remote Oxfordshire farmhouse when a passerby hears a gunshot。 There they find an elderly couple and a dead body that they claim was a burglar they shot in self defence。 Fawley isn’t so sure and when he and his team find a link to an old case of child murder and a possible miscarriage of justice they know they will I would like to thank Netgalley and Penguin General UK for an advance copy of Hope to Die， the sixth novel to feature DI Adam Fawley of Thames Valley Police。The police are called to a remote Oxfordshire farmhouse when a passerby hears a gunshot。 There they find an elderly couple and a dead body that they claim was a burglar they shot in self defence。 Fawley isn’t so sure and when he and his team find a link to an old case of child murder and a possible miscarriage of justice they know they will be in the spotlight。I enjoyed Hope to Die so much that I read it in one sitting， unable to put it down。 For personal reasons this is currently very unlike me so it’s a full 5* from me。 I found the plot fascinating with its twists and turns and I genuinely had no idea where it would go next。 Even more fascinating is that the basic premise of one of the main characters is based in reality when I was swithering about how realistic the scenario was， just to prove that truth is stranger than fiction。The plot is the usual mixture real time investigation interspersed with Farley’s first person take on events， press cuttings， social media commentary and old transcripts and reports from the previous investigation。 I like this approach as it gives a wider perspective on events and mixes up the narrative。 The content of the plot is even better。 I don’t want to issue spoilers but in certain respects it’s heartbreaking， but on the other it’s chilling。 Camilla Rowan who is at the heart of it is a manipulative psychopath and a comfortable and habitual liar。 I was hooked on Fawley and the team gradually dismantling her story and rebuilding something closer to the truth。 It’s absorbing and compulsive。Hope to Die is a good read that I have no hesitation in recommending。 。。。more

Another in the series to feature DC Adam Fawley。 It looks like a simple burglary gone wrong and burglar is shot dead but Adam smells a rat。 While delving into the couple who were burglarized he finds they are a connected to a high profile case a few years ago。 This book had me gripped， full of red herrings and more twisty than a corkscrew。 Nothing is what it seems in this book。 A real workout for the grey matter。 Whittling my suspects down with very clever story telling， a very entertaining read Another in the series to feature DC Adam Fawley。 It looks like a simple burglary gone wrong and burglar is shot dead but Adam smells a rat。 While delving into the couple who were burglarized he finds they are a connected to a high profile case a few years ago。 This book had me gripped， full of red herrings and more twisty than a corkscrew。 Nothing is what it seems in this book。 A real workout for the grey matter。 Whittling my suspects down with very clever story telling， a very entertaining read and another hit from one of my favourite authors。 。。。more

This is #6 in the DI Adam Fawley series and I can honestly say it's my my favourite series out there。 I love the dynamics of the whole team and they are all interesting characters， even the ones like Quinn who isn't really the most likeable。 There were quite a lot of new characters this time and it took a bit of getting used to who they all were and trying to remember。 But I like them， especially Chloe Sargent， perhaps not Carter， who is a wannabe Quinn。So it starts with a call out to a remote f This is #6 in the DI Adam Fawley series and I can honestly say it's my my favourite series out there。 I love the dynamics of the whole team and they are all interesting characters， even the ones like Quinn who isn't really the most likeable。 There were quite a lot of new characters this time and it took a bit of getting used to who they all were and trying to remember。 But I like them， especially Chloe Sargent， perhaps not Carter， who is a wannabe Quinn。So it starts with a call out to a remote farmhouse and a fatal shooting， an elderly couple confronted a burglar and it all kicks off。 But it's clear that it's not as simple as that and they are hiding things， especially the old woman Peggy。 A major secret that will inevitably come out and the police discover that these people aren't who they say they are。Camilla Rowan is serving life in prison for the murder of her newborn son， she has always denied it and his body has never been found。 I did feel kinda sorry for her in the beginning as it's clear she didn't kill him， but what is she hiding and what could be bigger than serving 20 years in prison for something you didn't do！It's a fantastic plot， full of twists and turns and it just felt like I was watching a series on tv as I read it。 There is such depth to the story and mystery surrounding it， that you really have no idea what could have happened all those years ago。I love this book and this series and I highly recommend it to all。 I eagerly await the next in the series and give a massive thank you to NetGalley and Penguin General Uk for the ARC in return for an honest review。 。。。more

I often forget about Adam Fawley， when discussing my favourite series。。。 and I shouldn't。This like all the others I've read， is excellent。A solid cast of characters， and a twisting storyline， that had me going back to check a few facts at least once。The dialogue is realistic， as in the office politics。A great read that will hopefully have you as puzzled as I was as to the who and whys。 I often forget about Adam Fawley， when discussing my favourite series。。。 and I shouldn't。This like all the others I've read， is excellent。A solid cast of characters， and a twisting storyline， that had me going back to check a few facts at least once。The dialogue is realistic， as in the office politics。A great read that will hopefully have you as puzzled as I was as to the who and whys。 。。。more
