Story4.5 out of 5 stars 58
When eight-year-old Daisy Mason vanishes from her family's Oxford home during a costume party, Detective Inspector Adam Fawley knows that nine times out of 10, the offender is someone close to home. And Daisy's family is certainly strange - her mother is obsessed with keeping up appearances, while her father is cold and defensive under questioning. And then there's Daisy's little brother, so withdrawn and uncommunicative.... DI Fawley works against the clock to find any trace of the little girl, but it's as if she disappeared into thin air - no one saw anything; no one knows anything.

It's picturesque, but there's something darker lurking behind the scenes.

A year later, accompanied by his own demons from wartime reporting, journalist Martin Scarsden arrives in Riversend. His assignment is to describe how the townspeople are coping.

Unfolding the delicious three-way gamesmanship between America, Britain, and the Soviet Union, and culminating in the gripping cinematic beat-by-beat of Oleg Gordievsky's nail-biting escape from Moscow in 1985, Ben Macintyre's latest may be his best yet. Like the greatest novels of John le Carré, it brings listeners deep into a world of treachery and betrayal, where the lines bleed between the personal and the professional, and one man's hatred of communism had the power to change the future of nations.

Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Did you see anything on the night the Esmond family were murdered?
It's one of the most disturbing cases DI Fawley has ever worked.
The Christmas holidays, and two children have just been pulled from the wreckage of their burning home in North Oxford. The toddler is dead, and his brother is soon fighting for his life.
Why were they left in the house alone? Where is their mother, and why is their father not answering his phone?
Then new evidence is discovered, and DI Fawley's worst nightmare comes true.
Because this fire wasn't an accident.
It was murder.
Critic Reviews
"Cara Hunter is a brilliant plotter, but it's her masterfully drawn characters that really make her novels stand out." (Rachel Abbott)
"The two [narrators] crisscross between points of view and newspaper accounts, enhancing the drama of a fast-moving police procedural that will keep you hooked to your earbuds." (The Times)

Fantastic next instalment
I have been in love with Cara Hunter’s DI Fawley series since the first one, ‘Close To Home.’ While they often follow the familiar past and present format of so many of their genre, the storyline is far from predictable and will surprise even the most seasoned crime reader. They’re cleverly written to reveal aspects of the case and suspects little by little as the investigation unfolds, yet always leaving little twists and turns to be discovered throughout.
Beyond this, each instalment develops the characters of Fawley and his squad a little more. We care about the characters, and the performances of Lee Ingleby and Emma Cunniffe only serve to aid this.
In this, the third instalment in the series, there is the same kind of disturbing case we’ve become accustomed to reading from Hunter. There’s also perhaps more focus on DI Fawley’s private life than there has been in its two predecessors, though this remains an undercurrent.
In summary: a third instalment that’s as gripping and well written as the first two, with further development into the main characters that leaves you craving the next!

DI Fawley solves another
The book fits in perfectly with the DI Fawley series. It’s a gripping story, written just as well as the previous books in the series. A sad tale what with the subject matter but dealt with very carefully and with some really good twists. I enjoyed the continued building of the police characters lives just as much as the crime story itself.
I couldn’t guess who-dunnit as it twisted and turned through the investigation until the very end.

Pronunciation wrong
I found the story very gripping and very much enjoyed the twists and turns and blind alleys.
What put me off was the pronunciation of place names Magdalen College is pronounced maudlin, Blackbird Leys should be lees.
Probably only an irritant to people who live nearby.

Few niggles with narration
First off, I have to admit that I haven’t finished it yet so my comments are on points of narration not storyline. 1. Magdalen (College) is pronounced “Maudlin” 2. Blackbird Leys - Leys is “lees” not “lays”.
3. The neighbours all seem to have ‘cockney-style’ accents - given this is set in leafy N Oxford where, we’ve been told, houses cost £5million+ this seems a little incongruous!
All minor points I know but jarring and if real places are used, correct pronunciation should really be checked

Another Great Thriller
I enjoyed this one, though perhaps not as much as the first. The storyline was a little bit ragged and there were one or two plot holes in it. Otherwise, performance was excellent and the general execution of the novel was wonderful.
Wish Audible would bring in the second book in the series!
