Este libro nos cuenta, tal y como dice la sinopsis, la extraña desaparición de una niña llamada Daisy, quien misteriosamente desaparece en medio de una fiesta organizada en su propia casa. Fawley is an engaging character and, unusually in this sort of novel, probably the character with whom we share the most empathy. As Fawley and his team investigate, the landscape of the enquiry changes rapidly: neither mother nor father tell the same story twice, and it soon becomes clear that Daisy probably wasn’t even present at the party from which she supposedly disappeared. Lo más seguro es que siga con la serie del inspector Adam Fawley, que le da su toque personal con una trama paralela propia, aunque él, en esta entrega, no deslumbra especialmente, pero sí me gustaron mucho algunos integrantes de su equipo de investigación. Por otra parte, los mensajes de Twitter y otras redes sociales sobre cómo la comunidad va siguiendo la investigación y se involucra en el caso de la desaparición de Daisy, le da un sentido de urgencia muy bien logrado.

There’s nothing ground breaking about this book but it’s excellently plotted and you really need to know what comes next. House proud mother Sharon Mason is clearly a woman for whom appearances matter and her unruffled demeanour seems oddly calm in comparison to her sweating and agitated husband, Barry, who keeps his head in his hands throughout. This was an incredibly interesting story that could have taken predictable paths but fortunately offered something different. Everything was wrapping up nicely and then the author said, let me throw a lil razzle dazzle in there even though no razzle nor dazzle was needed. if you have ever been interested in the mundane inner workings of a suburban british police station, this is the book for you.

Mum Sharon, and Dad Barry, each have secrets they'd rather keep hidden from the outside world, while 10 year old Leo, (Daisy's brother) is reluctant to share what he knows with the police - and he clearly knows something. 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. This is an excellent novel that keeps the reader interested to know more and serves up twists and turns to keep you guessing to the very end.

Thank you to the team at Penguin Random House, for proving an audiobook for me listen to, in exchange for an honest review. In the meantime, the media have parked up outside their home with no intention of leaving anytime soon. we've got: objectification of female interviewees; objectification of female police officers; condescension/patronizing of female police officers; judgment of women based on sex life/clothing/maternity; and just really vitriolic ways of talking about women on the internet! Dragged through the Twittersphere, the Mason’s are found guilty in the eyes of the public but many questions remain: Where is Daisy?Es como si vieras los titulares de las noticias, y luego te preguntaran el orden en que aparecieron. With a smart team who work well together – DCs Verity Everett and Chris Gislingham and acting Sergeant Gareth Quinn – it’s clear that Fawley has the brains and the support to get the job done. Cara Hunter exhibits great ability to plot so many captivating threads that the reader is constantly kept guessing right to the end. As our crew pick their way through false starts and mistaken assumptions, they eventually get some lucky breaks and make some progress. Y reafirmo esa idea porque casualmente aquí, en Colombia, en la fecha en que inicié a leer esta obra se presentó una historia similar de una bebé desaparecida en la que la familia daba versiones distintas y todo Colombia se «consternaba» por la criatura.
