Cara Hunter has done it again! Hope to Die is another thrilling and gripping police procedural murder mystery. As always, the given synopsis barely scratches the surface of the story and the full picture is multi-faceted, complex and heartbreaking, revealed layer by layer, twist by shocking twist.
Cara Hunter‘s signature style – including police interview transcripts, court documents and medical reports along with Fawley’s informal, conspiratorial narration – give the reader the feeling of being ‘one of the team’ and of trying to solve the mystery alongside the characters. This unique set up and incredible storylines, unbelievably inspired by real events, make the Fawley books unmissable. I was torn between racing to the end and trying to make it last more than a couple of days!
I already can’t wait for the next book and am really hopeful for the upcoming TV adaptation. Thank you to Penguin Books (UK) for the ARC of Hope to Die.
