However, I can acknowledge it might be trickier for series newbies to get a grasp, which is why the 'Fawley Files' within the cover are another great touch. And despite a large cast of characters, I feel connected with them after reading 5/6 books in this series. She knows how to get a reader immersed in the story, even if it can lean to OTT near the end. Yet again Hunter serves up another thicc plot. The effort she puts into the mixed media excerpts is incredible.

Her Netflix series scripts are professional and on-point. Her news clips are truly written, and presented, like news clips. Unlike The Last Housewife which boasted a 'podcast' element aka basic transcription formatting, Hunter goes above and beyond. I LOVE Hunter's use of mixed media – but I know others are averse to this, so tread lightly. Yes, the no chapters thing is odd, but the scene breaks help and tbh 5 books deep, I barely notice it now. tell without run on sentences or overcooked prose. Her writing technique and style is top notch. After realizing I'm a certified dumb ass and getting the answers I needed, I can confidently rate this 4 stars.

Thankfully Cara Hunter was kind enough to entertain me and answer my questions and tell me – politely – to read the acknowledgements section. For spoiler reasons, I'm not gonna get into the specifics. Originally when I finished the book, two big ass 'plot holes' stared back at me. The shooter and his wife claim self-defense, but when a connection is made to a decade's old case, DI Adam Fawley and his team are under immense pressure to discover the truth. Shoutout to Cara Hunter for answering my questions via Instagram DMs because I was a big dummy and didn't read the acknowledgments section 😂Ī young man is found shot at point-blank range.
