About this listen

*Contains an exclusive Adam Fawley short story*

From the Sunday Times bestselling author of the Tiktok sensation MURDER IN THE FAMILY and the DI Adam Fawley series comes a brand new gripping crime thriller about a figure from the past…

In 2016, eight-year-old Daisy Mason vanished from her Oxford home.

Her disappearance made the national press and the final culprit shocked everyone. DCI Adam Fawley remembers the case well, he arrested Daisy’s mother for murder himself.

But her body was never found.

Now, forensic evidence at a current murder scene calls the whole case into question. DCI Adam Fawley and the team are brought back in to investigate. And they all have one question on their minds.

What really happened to Daisy Mason?

A great story, but the ending was weak

It was a great story apart from a couple of things. The diary parts were tedious and I think spoilt the flow of the story. Also, the ending was weak. The narrators were excellent.

Felt like a lot of nothing.

Not much was resolved, slow progress and too many detectives. I could just about follow the names, and not much really happened.
I didn’t know if I was at the end of the book and then suddenly it’s a new short story? Fell flat completely. Disappointing, but Cara Hunter is still a great author. Just didn’t enjoy this one.
Performances were great as usual!

A game of 2 halves ….

Really loved this book ….couldn’t put it down … despite the length between this and the previous book, I picked up the characters easily (like old friends). Narration was brilliant as always …. and story was clever and well written … best thing I’d read for a while!. But the ending was unnecessary abrupt. Felt like this wasn’t to benefit of the story… more to exploit the commercial opportunity of the potential next book. Come on Cara … you’re better than that!

Adam's back!!!

I was over the moon to see that Adam and his team was back and what a great storyline it was to come back to as well, especially with the brilliant Lee Ingleby narrating but that ending well I'm sorry to say it was flatter than a pancake on Shrove Tuesday.

So pleased to be back in this world

Love this series, another excellent listen but I agree with the other reviews that the end was a bit abrupt and not very satisfying. I did really like the short story though which sort of made up for my are you kidding moment when it finished! Cannot wait for book 8

A fabulous page turner

Without spoiling it for anyone about to listen to this book, the story returns to a crime committed in an earlier D I Fawley book. Such a clever premise and brilliantly plotted. I couldn't put it down. Superb narration throughout. My deduction to 4 stars overall was for the ending. I'm eagerly awaiting the next in the series.

There’s more to come…..surely?

I’m a massive fan of this author and series. I was excited to realise this picked up from one of the earlier books, but (unless I’m being dense and have missed something) there is more to come. I understand that not all crimes are solved in the ‘real world’ but I hope we’re going to get answers to the questions not yet resolved.
Excellent narrators. I wish this team could read every book I choose to me.

Long winded at times but very good

I got a bit bored with the details of emails and conversations at first, but got used to them. Unlike some other reviewers, I was happy with the ending, it actually made me smile.
The short story was intriguing and sad, I look forward to a continuation of both.
