No Way Out by Cara Hunter a five-star read that you won’t want to get out from under. This is the third book in the DI Adam Fawley series and each book gets better than the last, after reading the second book I had a chance to go and visit Oxford and I loved being able to walk the streets that I imagined him walking its so nice to visualise it as I generally read a lot of books based in the states so I cant easily pop for a weekend there. It brought this book alive, it also meant I could picture the house in great detail smell the burning embers left behind. The team working the case and Adam himself all tell a different part of the story, each adding a different layer to your enjoyment. I love how we don’t just get one side to the story but many sides, it gives you so much depth to the story, you will change your views at each turn. I cant wait to read more from this author, the voice she has in her writing is very real and passionate.

Cara Hunter's third DI Adam Fawley novel is as gripping as the previous two books in the series, and builds on the established characters (you could read this as a standalone though).

The subject matter - a lethal fire involving a mother and sons - is disturbing. The case seems clear cut to begin with, but it becomes apparent that there are many hidden layers and undercurrents.

The plotting is skillful and I simply couldn't put it down. I thought I'd guessed part of the plot but I was wrong!

Another excellent read by this author, and I look forward to more.

My thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for an ARC in return for my honest review.

I've enjoyed both of Cara's previous books so I was looking forward to catching up with DI Fawley and co. I really like the characters that pop up across the books, notably in the police force and each is distinguishable from the next with the exception of Baxter who I just keep forgetting about! Is this story as exciting and shocking as Cara's last? No, maybe not. It didn't quite have me on the edge of my seat but there were a lot of strengths. For one, I was simply clueless as to what was going on and my mind kept changing on what exactly was going on - all marks of a good thriller. I also love the level of detail into the investigation itself and I've no doubt Cara has done her research. Although the newspaper comments are a nice nod to the 21st century, they just aren't necessary and don't add anything to the story. No, it wasn't my favourite of the three but there is no doubt Cara is fabulous writer who knows how to hook in a reader and I'll look forward to what comes next.

Wow, I didn't think Cara Hunters books could get any better, I was wrong! No Way Out is so full of twists my head was spinning. Just as I thought I had it all worked out, the story took another turn. Brilliant edge of your seat thriller.

Thank you NetGalley and Penguin for the copies I received.

Thanks to Netgalley and Penguin Books for allowing me to give an honest review of this book.
Cara Hunter has written another masterpiece in the Adam Fawley series. This is the third book and I think each one stands alone so it will not matter if you read them out of order and trust me if you read one you will want to read he rest.

Like the other books Cara Hunter has written, this storyline is gripping from start to finish. The way she includes what others are thinking about the event by including feedback on Twitter only adds to the story. It did not take me long to read this book as there were many twists and turns.

The ending was a shocker and unexpected. First class writing and can't wait for the next instalment in the series.

An unusual and intriguing format, but a great story that keeps the readers interest from the start to finish. Thoroughly recommended do not miss.

A well written book, intricate plot full of twists and turns with a surprising ending. Fully enjoyed and found it a real page turner that was hard to put down...excellent.

When I came across No Way Out, I wanted to read it at once and it did not disappoint. Cara Hunter’s solid Adam Fawley series just gets better with every book. I was surprised at the ease with which I could recall her detectives and where they had left off at the end of book 2.
I find it easy to surrender to this page turning entertainment. There were times when this read felt long because of the frustrations of fruitless enquiries and dead-ends, followed by reliance on lucky breaks, but this makes it somehow more realistic.
The plot is complex and gets even more involved as time passes. I am happy to admit I did not see it coming. DI Fawley is a series I will stay with.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the ARC in return for a honest unbiased review.
First book I've read by this author and certainly won't be the last.
Off to putrchase the two previous books in featuring this character as thoroughly enjoyable read.
If you like your police/crime books then this one is for you.

I haven't read the first two books in the series but that didn't stop me reading and enjoying this book. Very good story

Cara Hunters books are the ones that I wait patiently for as I’ve read the first 2 and the third has certainly made it worthwhile.

A devastating house fire sees a family ripped apart but where is the father. Missing and no clue to where he is, DI Fawley and his team must gather information and evidence to see what and who caused the devastation and where the father is. What’s happened to him?

I loved the layout of the book, including the fire reports, medical examiner reports and even the social media tweets. You get to know the characters more in each book so it feels as though you know them personally.

The book flows beautifully and it’s full of intense moments which makes you not wanting to put the book down.

If you want a thriller book, twists and turns, here you are. A very good whodunnit book. Praise to Cara Hunter. Thank you for another amazing book. Can’t wait for the next instalment.

Good Novel. Third in the series and although I hadn't read the first two it was easy to follow. Sometimes I found the number of characters hard to follow.

When tackling a devastating house fire the fire brigade find 2 children, 1 is already dead the other is critically ill but where are their parents?
It soon becomes clear the fire was deliberate and the police appeal for the parents to come forward, the mother is found but the father is still missing and not responding to police appeals.
DI Adam Fawley and his team set about investigating who would want to kill a seemingly innocent family. As they look into the father they discover that he was not only facing possible disciplinary action at work but he was also in financial trouble, is that enough for someone to want to kill his whole family?
Flashbacks that show important events in the months leading to the fire give the reader some insight into the family's life and what could have lead to the fire.
When the truth unfolded I was shocked by what really happened, I hadn't expected that!

Absolutely loved this book couldn’t put it down,fast paced right to the end. Will recommend to everyone and can’t wait to read more from this author

I really enjoyed this gripping novel from Cara Hunter and was kept guessing the whole way to the end. While it was the third in a series, I wasn’t left too lost by the personal stories which had continued from previous books, but it has left me wanting to read them!

This is the third novel in the series featuring DI Fawley. It's the first I have read and, although it is fairly easy to follow, there were a lot of references to previous cases and relationships between characters. It also took me a while to figure out who was who on the fairly large police team.

This story is about a horrific house fire that kills members of a family in Oxford. As crime scene investigations continue, Fawley and his team have to try to track down the family members and work out the motive for an arson attack.

I did find that this book kept me interested and reading, although some of the subject matter is quite sad and depressing. I liked the shifts in perspective and the inclusion of reports and emails (even if the formatting of these didn't work brilliantly on my Kindle - I assume this would be fixed for the final version of the book).

Overall, this was a book that kept me guessing (incorrectly!) right to the end. A twisty and clever detective story, although one that is actually very sad too.

DID YOU SEE ANYTHING THE NIGHT THE ESMOND FAMILY WERE MURDERED!!

I don't know why but I struggled through the first couple of chapters, I just couldn't seem to get the characters straight and kept getting them confused, possibly just me.

Once I started getting into the book, I could not put it down, I liked the way it was written, the twists and turns did not stop, just as I thought I had got who did it, the plot turned and I was left bamboozled again!

I'm not sure I liked all the characters but that's OK, gives a book balance, I was also a bit puzzled about the girl who said she had been sexually harassed, that part seemed to just fizzle out??

On the whole a good read, would read more in this series

I have read the first 2 “Adam Fawley” books by Cara Hunter and enjoyed them immensely. This surpassed my expectations. Although it covers a distressing storyline concerning a fatal fire in a family home, it is also a multi faceted and richly plotted story. There are many characters and the timeline moves back and forth but I did not have any problems following the plot. Unlike others, I liked the use of social media and news inserts, it made it seem modern and relevant. Several twists and turns, it kept me guessing to the end.
My only criticism would be the amount of errors in the typesetting, although annoying it did not distract from my overall enjoyment.

I would like to thank the author, publisher and netgalley for a free copy of this digital book in return for my honest and unbiased review.

A horrible subject matter, with children's lives being lost in fire, one of the worst ways imaginable.

Cara Hunter deals with it well and leaves the reader angered at the thought that a parent could even think about this as an option. Then she throws in a curveball - maybe it wasn't them, but then again, maybe it was....

Head spinning, the reader is drawn in and the story flows.

A really well written book, with no obvious guilty party served up.

Excellent read. I’ve read the whole series and each one doesn’t disappoint. Living in Oxford also makes it enjoyable as I relate to the setting. Look forward to the next.
