No Way Out: The most gripping book of the year from the Richard and Judy Bestselling author (DI Fawley)

Product Information

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. After the death of their son, Jake, Alex was pushing Adam to adopt, something he is not ready or capable of doing, leaving him terrified that this will signal the end of their marriage.

Si es verdad que cuando empecé el libro, empecé a tener mis hipótesis de los hechos como en todos los thriller, pero debo decir que he cambiado esas hipótesis muchísimas veces durante la lectura y aún así no he conseguido adivinar lo que sucedía realmente.The story is told from the investigation and the events that took place 317 days before the fire in the victims' house. As initial suspicion falls on Michael Esmond with reports of his erratic behaviour in the last few months and an ongoing anthropology departmental investigation into his conduct underway, the story dissects every aspect of his life. It's long been one of my principles - never join a series that's already established if you're planning on reviewing the book as it might not be fair on the author or the potential reader, but I seem to be breaking it on a regular basis at the moment. She's also excellent on grief and particularly the effect of losing a child: the Esmond boys' grandparents have to cope with losing their daughter and grandchildren and the investigation opens Adam Fawley's wound which is perhaps the deepest of all. From news articles to interviews (which I honestly live for in these books) to floor plans and the rest, it makes for such an incredible reading experience.

Close to Home was a Richard and Judy Book Club pick and was shortlisted for Crime Book of the Year in the British Book Awards 2019.

There are lots of twists and turns in this third book and although not my favourite in the series is nevertheless a good read.

Various shots of the fire damage inside: the dining room, the stairs, some of the bedrooms, what remains of the furniture - most of it hefty and old-fashioned. Oh gosh, this case was like peeling away the layers of an onion, each layer revealing a little more until it gets right to the heart of the crime. The youngest, Zachary, died in the fire but his older brother Mattie is still alive and clinging to life in a hospital ICU. My rich homie qualm is sometimes she can go OTT in the end or "Sharon Bolton it", but this one kept its shit together rather nicely. En resumen, un buen libro para sospechar de todos y de todo, para comerte la cabeza intentando adivinar los motivos para tanta maldad y una resolución final con todo cerrado y muy bien argumentado.I'd like to thank the publishers for introducing me to this book and to what looks like a very promising series. No Way Out was the first book I read in 2020 and it was the perfect choice to start my year out right. Conoceremos más sobre la vida del inspector protagonista; Adam Fawley, quien no está pasando por su mejor momento. This book kept me hooked due to the pacy police investigation; the narrative highlighting how quickly a case can change, with twists and turns come with every new piece of evidence being uncovered. The story moves between past and present, giving the reader insight, as the investigation progresses, into how and why these horrific events came about.
