Cara Hunter is an author who has fans. Her Adam Fawley series has not had a new entry for a few years, so many will probably purchase this one on its release date.
As soon as I started reading this title, I was glad that it was on a day where I had a good amount of free time. I just wanted to keep reading. It wasn’t that I thought that I would solve things but I was certainly enjoying watching the story unfold.
The plot has to do with both a past event involving a young child and more recent events. Readers will surely wonder about connections.
Hunter has created a good cast of series regulars. I also like how she includes various media throughout the book as, for example, newspaper cuttings.
This book can be read as a standalone. Hunter helpfully includes mini bios as the start of the book to bring new readers up to speed. I imagine that many who read this will be heading for the backlist though.
Many thanks to HarperCollins UK and NetGalley for this title. All opinions are my own.
