DI Adam Fawley Series: Book 5
Publication Date: April 9, 2024
From Cara Hunter, the New York Times bestselling author of Murder in the Family, comes the fifth novel in her DI Fawley detective series, one of Britain’s most enduringly popular and mega-selling crime series.
When DI Adam Fawley is assigned a sexual assault case filed by an Oxford student against a tenured professor, he expects the facts to match up with the far too many previous reports he’s investigated time and again. But neither he nor anyone on his team imagined the victim would turn out to be a male rugby player accusing one of the university’s most respected female professors.
As the detectives try to unravel the truth behind the he said/she said crime, another threat arises—someone with a personal grudge against Fawley. . .
When starting a series in the middle, there’s always the risk of not connecting with the characters. However, author Cara Hunter uses a quick character summary to welcome readers to the fifth installment of the DI Adam Fawley series.
From the first introduction to Adam and his officers, I was hooked. Every book delivers a top-notch thriller along with a look into the personal lives of the characters. The Whole Truth serves up a new adventure packed with suspense.
This time around, Adam lands a high-profile sexual assault that challenges all of his preconceived notions. He and his team face pressure in what is essentially a “he said, she said” case. The details make the investigation quite unusual.
Meanwhile, the author also builds suspense around the release of a convicted rapist determined on revenge, which is tied directly to Alex and his pregnant wife. Using podcast scripts, emails, and other materials as visuals to accompany the text adds a greater depth to the story.
The Whole Truth offers a top-rated British detective story full of twists and turns.
