About this deal

I have a boy cat who does his best to distract me whenever I get close to a keyboard (if you have cats, you'll know), I love travelling, spending time with friends, and I have never knowingly turned down a glass of champagne. But I gotta say, this book was quite a chunk with +900 pages, and then I was waiting for that punch in the jaw at the end of the story - Cara Hunter style, which was there but we've had stronger punches in the previous books. The author helpfully provides a little background of the central characters at the start of the book, a great touch which shows thoughtfulness to her audience. they make some shocking discoveries and my jaw literally drops on occasions and possibly the odd little naughty may be uttered at some of the explosive revelations.

Thankfully Cara Hunter was kind enough to entertain me and answer my questions and tell me – politely – to read the acknowledgements section.Biography: Cara Hunter is the author of the Sunday Times bestselling crime novels Close to Home, In the Dark, No Way Out, All the Rage and The Whole Truth all featuring DI Adam Fawley and his Oxford-based police team. The shooter and his wife claim self-defense, but when a connection is made to a decade's old case, DI Adam Fawley and his team are under immense pressure to discover the truth. I have now read all of the instalments except book two - In The Dark - which I hope to get around to soon. There was also a slightly different feel to the text that was present, the first person narratives of a variety of voices. stars - this was a real page turner but it was more the format than the storyline that had me hooked.

Cara Hunter's characterisation was tremendous and certainly not neglected in favour of the plot or anything else. When they arrive, they find an elderly couple, Richard and Peggy Swann, with the body of a young man in their kitchen. A masterful, engrossing, twisty novel -- Rosamund Lupton, author of THREE HOURS on The Whole Truth --This text refers to the paperback edition. Quinn is still punchable, Gis is Honda Civic Reliable, Fawley is mysterious but brilliant, and so forth. The format is so often hackneyed with stereotypical characters and plots that are ridiculously far-fetched, scripted in yawningly melodramatic fashion.He has a dependable team who work hard to identify the mystery ‘burglar’ and his link to the Swanns. Cara's novels have sold more than a million copies worldwide, and the TV rights to the series have now been acquired by the Fremantle group.

Having already had one baby adopted, she claimed to have left her son with his father after giving birth, but no trace of him was found and she was eventually found guilty of murder. Considerei o mistério inicial muito interessante, a temática central sempre atual, a protagonista detestável, todos os detalhes da personalidade bem construídos, no entanto, esperava um desfecho mais inesperado. There are no chapters, aside from a prologue and epilogue, but there are frequent paragraph breaks every time there’s a scene/POV shift. Cara Hunter is the author of the Sunday Times bestselling crime novels Close to Home, In the Dark, No Way Out, All the Rage and The Whole Truth all featuring DI Adam Fawley and his Oxford-based police team.When links are discovered to a past child murder, it seems that DI Fawley and his team have a very complex tale to unravel.

Overall, this a brilliant book that might just claim the honour of being the best DI Fawley novel to date, thanks to a case that proves impossible to get out of your head and impressive steps forward in character development. Unlike The Last Housewife which boasted a "podcast" element aka basic transcription formatting, Hunter goes above and beyond.What at first seems like an easy case of an intruder being shot by an elderly man in his home, turns into a complex and twisty case that has links to a high profile case of convicted child killer, Camilla Rowan. Once again Cara has supplied the reader with a little “who’s who” at the beginning of the book, giving us a quick recap and enabling us to jump straight back into the world of crime in Oxford. Hope To Die starts off with a gunshot in an isolated house in a secluded part of the countryside and when the police arrive at the scene the homeowners, an elderly couple, appear shocked to see the police and upon further investigation, the police find a young man dead in their kitchen killed by a gunshot to the face. Richard's wife backs up his story that an intruder had broken in downstairs and Richard shot him in self defence.
