Well paced, well written and engaging crime thriller. Not my typical cup of tea, but really enjoyed it.
I was a little wary of picking this book up (from recommendations) as it was book 3 in DI Adam Fawley books, but it turns out there was nothing to worry about.
Although the story does include characters whom I can only assume had their backstories explained in previous books, it only adds depth to the characters rather than feeling like I was missing something.
The story itself begins with a house fire and (effectively) an entire family being consumed in the blaze. DI Fawley and team then set about digging out leads and trying to understand what had happened.
It's what I'd expect from a crime novel (whilst I half imagine an Inspector Morse episode). The story is extreme thorough in taking me through the approach to the investigation, each following up on leads, some dead ends, some theories requiring proof. There seems to be just the right amount of supporting characters that I can follow them as each chapter changes perspective.
There's also a fairly significant plot points around infant death - something that is in my personal life and I'm wary of reading or watching in stories - but the author, Cara Hunter, doesn't include this in a grotesque way and it's handled carefully (or carefully enough for me).
Otherwise a really well paced thriller - where I found I seemed to gobble down the last 1/4 of the book in a few short sittings and couldn't put the book down right at the end. Great stuff. Definitely introduced me to a genre I've typically not been interested in.
Sem Saída é o terceiro livro da série DI Adam Fawley e da sua equipa em Oxford.
É um livro de leitura fácil e envolvente.
A abordagem narrativa, com diferentes pontos de vista e materiais diversos, é interessante para dar à história um senso de imediatismo.
O desenvolvimento das personagens da equipe de Fawley é um ponto positivo, proporcionando uma experiência mais rica.
A história em si não é emocionante, tem algumas partes chatas, e a resolução é pouco credível.
É um livro que oferece um bom entretenimento para um fim de semana ou dia de férias à beira mar.
