Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Did you see anything on the night the esmond family were murdered?

It's one of the most disturbing cases DI Fawley has ever worked.

The Christmas holidays, and two children have just been pulled from the wreckage of their burning home in North Oxford. The toddler is dead, and his brother is soon fighting for his life.

Why were they left in the house alone? Where is their mother, and why is their father not answering his phone?

Then new evidence is discovered, and DI Fawley's worst nightmare comes true.

Because this fire wasn't an accident.

It was murder.

Critic reviews

"Cara Hunter is a brilliant plotter, but it's her masterfully drawn characters that really make her novels stand out." (Rachel Abbott)

"The two [narrators] crisscross between points of view and newspaper accounts, enhancing the drama of a fast-moving police procedural that will keep you hooked to your earbuds." (The Times)

Very good

Great police thriller. Male narrator was very good five star performance. The female narrator gave a stilted performance so much so it was had to be sure if the scene had finished.

An absolutely brilliant book

This book is one of the best ones I have listened to all year. The twists and turns of the plot keep you riveted. An unusual story the narrator just perfect for the story.

Few niggles with narration

First off, I have to admit that I haven’t finished it yet so my comments are on points of narration not storyline. 1. Magdalen (College) is pronounced “Maudlin” 2. Blackbird Leys - Leys is “lees” not “lays”.
3. The neighbours all seem to have ‘cockney-style’ accents - given this is set in leafy N Oxford where, we’ve been told, houses cost £5million+ this seems a little incongruous!
All minor points I know but jarring and if real places are used, correct pronunciation should really be checked

Cara Hunter writes great crime thrillers

I have just listened again to this audiobook and loved it as much if not more than the first time when it was first out in audiobook. Great story and narration. Now to the next one in the series.

Brilliant

Well thought out, and wonderfully narrated. Twists and turns throughout, and I didn’t guess the ending. Thoroughly enjoyable. Can’t wait for the next book.

Pronunciation wrong

I found the story very gripping and very much enjoyed the twists and turns and blind alleys.

What put me off was the pronunciation of place names Magdalen College is pronounced maudlin, Blackbird Leys should be lees.

Probably only an irritant to people who live nearby.

Not the best DI Fawley novel

Narrators were excellent. Story line jumped around , you had to be alert to know what day you were on. I'm not keen on all the twitter feeds with the endless hash tags, underscores etc, and the list of police doing interviews .

Great Ending

More of a slow read but the last few hours were gripping. It tied up all the loose ends which is a major plus.

DI Fawley solves another

The book fits in perfectly with the DI Fawley series. It’s a gripping story, written just as well as the previous books in the series. A sad tale what with the subject matter but dealt with very carefully and with some really good twists. I enjoyed the continued building of the police characters lives just as much as the crime story itself.
I couldn’t guess who-dunnit as it twisted and turned through the investigation until the very end.
