The third outing for DI Fawley
The opening chapter of this excellent thriller starts with a harrowing account of a major fire in a house in Oxford. Two bodies of children are found, one is dead, the other barely alive. The police join the fire officers on the scene and questions are immediately asked, was there anybody else in the house and if not, where are the parents? This starts a problematic and unpredictable investigation for Adam Fawley and his team. It is soon evident that the fire was deliberately started and when the second child dies, it becomes a priority to find the murderer.
This is a book that keeps the reader guessing right to the end, with endless twists and turns. As more bodies appear in the house, the plot thickens with frustration setting in as no answers are immediately found. The story is even more poignant as it takes place over Christmas and the tension is heightened by newspaper articles and the public’s reaction to the reporting on emails and twitter.
The storyline is masterfully put together, and the characters are well drawn. The only slightly unnecessary area is the frequent reference to the home life of Adam Fawley, who is struggling with his marriage in trouble. This rather held up the main plot of solving the complicated mystery of the fire. The case is a disturbing one for all concerned, and the final twist comes as a great surprise.
No Way Out is a good detective thriller and fans of D I Fawley will eagerly be waiting for Book 4.
