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?

The narrators & regular characters are first class as always. Story good too. An excellent choice

The narrators

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.

A great story, but the ending was weak

If I hadn't read the original Daisy Mason story I'm not sure this one would have made sense. It was an interesting development on the original story. It was interesting following the twists and turns of the plot which is why I felt a bit let down by the ambiguous ending. I was also confused by the short story at the end. Is this to be explored further in an up-coming episode? If so I hope we get a aid memoir when the story is released or I will struggle to remember the gist. By the way Evesham is in Worcestershire the Geography wasn't entirely accurate.

A complicated and compelling story with an ambiguous ending.

I have read or listened to all Cara Hunter’s books & loved them all. The ending of this one made me feel very short-changed…..

Slightly disappointing

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!

Felt like a lot of nothing.

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!

A game of 2 halves ….

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.

Adam's back!!!

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

So pleased to be back in this world

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.

A fabulous page turner
