Somer I’m slightly disappointed in her decisions regarding Quinn (no judgement though, we’ve all been there), but I love her dedication to her job. Quinn he has his strengths and does add to the team, but my goodness does he drive me crazy. I loved the loyalty he showed towards his team (even though I don’t think he particularly liked them all). So I’d like to do a bit of a quick fire summary of a handful of the team. My previous reviews have given my thoughts on the team in general and I don’t think I’ve ever talked specifically about many of the characters.

I had to pause and try and piece it all together as it started to unravel as there was a small voice in my mind saying “surely not!”. Personally, I think that this book had the most out there story line out of the ones I have read to date. The case in this second book appeared to be quite clear at one point, but then seeds of doubt were planted in my mind and what I thought was a solved case, turned out to be something completely different. I never know where an investigation is going to lead to, but what I do know (and certainly experienced with this book) is it’s likely to be somewhere that I would never have guessed. You’d think that I’d be accustomed to the Oxford CID team by now, but it would seem that I just can’t get enough of them. With lots of red herrings and more than one suspect, will the police team be able to crack this case and get it right?ĭI Adam Fawley and the team had yet another totally bizarre and complex case to tackle and once again, I loved reading about it. The elderly man who owns the house claims that he has never seen either of them before and had no idea they were in his house.ĭI Fawley’s team don’t have an awful lot to go on at the start of the investigation, but there are always clues to be found and leads to follow up on. The woman isn’t able to speak, the child is distressed and the police are unable to identify either of them.


In the Dark is the second book in the series by for which I mixed it up a little and listened to the audiobook.Ī young woman and a small child are found in the basement of a local elderly man’s house in Oxford and they aren’t in good shape. I’ve gone a little bit DI Fawley crazy this last couple of weeks and binged on three books from the series (check out my DI Fawley Series category for the other reviews).
