Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Close to Home by Cara Hunter, read by Emma Cunniffe and Lee Ingleby. Featuring 37 cameo voices including Cara Hunter.

HOW CAN A CHILD VANISH WITHOUT A TRACE?

Last night, 8-year-old Daisy Mason disappeared from a summer party at her home. No one at the party noticed her leave. Even her parents aren't sure of the last time they saw her.

DI Adam Fawley is trying to keep an open mind. But he knows that in nine cases out of ten, it's someone close to the victim.

When a pair of bloody tights is discovered, Fawley's worst suspicions are concerned.

Someone knows where Daisy is.
And her time is running out.

Introducing DI Fawley and his team of Oxford detectives, CLOSE TO HOME is the new crime series readers and authors are raving about.

... und tatsächlich ein Ende, das selbst mich alten Krimi-Hasen überrascht hat. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Seht gutes Police-Procedural

Loved it. The narration is first rate. Story is also pretty good with lots of real life England actualities. My only problem is that the absolute solution to the riddle only comes with the epilogue. But still an excellent enjoyable experience.

Brilliantly narrated

It took me quite a while to get interested, in the beginning I thought that it was a bit confusing and not overly gripping, but looking back now, it is very cleverly constructed and once one gets used to the constant change it gets really interesting. Unforeseen ending, not sure my sense of justice agrees.

Very clever

This was my first audiobook and the experience was really good. I binged listened to it in two days, and I was really curious about what was going to happen next. The reader was excellent. I could concentrate, follow the story and could connect with the persons. My only problem with the book was the end. Not well developed, unbelievable and it ist he reason why I gave the book 3 stars.

First Audiobook, good experience

For the most part a solid police procedural with an interesting case and a decent investigation. The main character and his team are a little bland (except for a recent personal tragedy in DI Fawley's life we get to know very little about them). But it's the first book in a new series, and they'll all have time to shape up.

There are two things I didn't like about the book:
a) Although the social media posts between chapters are quite realistic and an interesting addition to the story, it's painful to listen to them on audio, because not only the postings are read out loud, but also all hashtags and handles (including the special characters, i.e. you hear every single @, every single # etc.). In a book I'd only read the postings and skip the rest, but in this audio version I had to listen to the complete entries. Very annoying and boring as hell.
b) The twist at the end was unexpected - unexpected because it was ridiculously far-fetched. You'd have to suspend a huge amount of disbelief to accept that this could actually happen. Up until then I really enjoyed the book, but that stupid ending almost ruined it for me.

Solid start to a new series
