There’s no solace to be found in her family, with a mum who’s caught in a baffling mid-life makeover and a beloved dad who is vanishing in slow-motion into dementia. Friendships are fading, ex-boyfriends are moving on and, worse, everyone’s moving to the suburbs.

Everywhere she turns, she is reminded of time passing and opportunities dwindling. A new relationship couldn’t have come at a better time – her thirties have not been the liberating, uncomplicated experience she was sold. When she meets Max, a beguiling romantic hero who tells her on date one that he’s going to marry her, it feels like all is going to plan. Nina Dean has arrived at her early thirties as a successful food writer with loving friends and family, plus a new home and neighbourhood. I can’t wait for the next book in the series! As ever, Cara Hunter has produced a storyline that has great pace and lots of twists and turns, with a truly great little twist at the end. In this police procedural, DI Fawley takes a more backseat role, and for good reason, he is an emotional wreck as his wife, Alex, has left him but that allows the others in his team to shine and I loved that.

I feel like I’m repeating myself but I have to say once again how much I love this series and how much I love Cara Hunter’s writing! No Way Out is Cara Hunter’s third book in the DI Adam Fawley series and it is every bit as captivating and clever as the others. 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. The toddler is dead, and his brother is soon fighting for his life. The Christmas holidays, and two children have just been pulled from the wreckage of their burning home in North Oxford.
