Hope to Die

Product Information

or even just someone who enjoys good, well-written fiction of any genre, then you really should put this on your reading list. As she did with the previous novel, Cara Hunter provides a little background précis of the central characters at the start of the book, which shows wonderful practical consideration for her audience. This is quite hard for me to review as this is my first Cara Hunter book and at the time of joining the blog tour I wasn’t aware this was book six of a series 😫 and only realised this once I started reading it and put it on goodreads as currently reading so I do think that sadly took away some of the reading experience as I felt like I had missed out on things from previous books. Hope to Die is an intricately plotted story and the last few chapters absolutely had me on the edge of my seat. Cara Hunter's latest offering is a cracking addition to her Oxford based DI Adam Fawley series, it is packed with her trademark insertions in the narrative that include police interview transcripts, social media comments, psychiatric reports, details of a 2016 Netflix investigation, phone conversations, online media reports and Wikipedia entries.

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.And, what does it have to do with a shocking, sensational crime from the late 90’s, that’s recently been turned into a Netflix’s documentary series? Rather than synopsize this book I'm going to recommend you read the blurb or just go in blind and don't read too many reviews ahead of time. Creepy, disturbing, exciting, fast-paced, with a high level of suspense maintained throughout, culminating in an explosive, satisfying conclusion. They changed their name and moved to Oxford seventeen years ago after their daughter Camilla was convicted on circumstantial evidence of killing her baby.

Shootings don’t happen often and there are a few things about the scene that don’t seem quite right. Hunter’s excellent outline of the characters at the start of the book is a wonderful memory refresher for fans of the books and would also be helpful to those new to the series. Under questioning, Richard Swann and his more evasive wife Margaret insist that the man was an intruder and they were defending their household, but the police believe the real story is much more complex than that. I think there is some benefit in reading at least one of the other books first for character development and to maximise the enjoyment of the story, however, each of the stories has its uniqueness.

six in the DI Adam Fawley series – Hope to Die – as I’ve been a big fan of Cara Hunter’s from book one, and never miss an instalment. An amazing ride for fans of the previous books; it will also be positively thrilling for many who are new to Cara Hunter’s writing. Richard and Margaret Swann don’t appear to be murderers, but their stories don’t match up and the evidence contradicts what they say really happened. stars - this was a real page turner but it was more the format than the storyline that had me hooked.Once again the book has clever little chapters from different points of view and I particulary enjoyed the “Netflix” series which ran alongside the narrative from the main characters. When a body is found in a farmhouse in a gruesome state, DI Adam Fawley is one of the first on the scene. I defy any reader to not race through this fast paced crime read, the suspense and tension are sky high, and whenever you think you know what is happening, the ground shifts and the case heads in a completely different direction.
