Rating: 4/5
Review:
A good read with a silly ending
I thought this was a decent police procedural, right up until the last few pages when it became absurd.
The central character is DI Adam Fawley, who is quite likeable but unremarkable apart from the obligatory Personal Trauma in his past, which I could well have done without. It added nothing to the book and just seemed like a cheap add-on. He leads the search for a missing child, which was rather well done. Cara Hunter writes well and can tell a good story. There were some implausibilities but nothing too unbelievable; we get a series of interesting revelations rather than Amazing Twists and I found it a good involving story.
It’s a shame about the ending, but it’s a good read and I will be happy to try another in this series. 3.5 stars rounded up to 4.
