No Way Out

A Novel

By: Cara Hunter

Narrated by: Lee Ingleby, Emma Cunniffe, Roy McMillan

From Cara Hunter, author of the New York Times bestseller Murder in the Family, comes book three of her DI Adam Fawley series, one of Britain’s most enduringly popular and mega-selling crime series. Fawley investigates a ghastly house fire on Christmas Day launches an investigation that shocks a community.

It's one of the most disturbing cases DI Adam Fawley has ever worked.

It's Christmas in Oxford, and firefighters have pulled two children from the smoking ruin of their home. The mystery deepens when it becomes clear that the parents are nowhere to be found. Why were the children left in the house alone? Why is neither parent answering their phone? Were they kidnapped? Murdered? From the start, DI Fawley—still reeling from his own personal tragedy—knows that this house fire is the scene of a crime, not an accident.

Then new evidence comes to light and confirms the team’s worst suspicions. The blaze was arson. Who would have torched a seemingly happy family’s home on Christmas?

As DI Fawley and his team of detectives sift through the evidence, old tensions and new problems in the family are slowly revealed. Something terribly out of the ordinary has happened, and the truth slowly begins to reveal itself...

A gripping and provocative tale of arson, murder, and family intrigue, No Way Out is everything you’d expect from one of Britain’s queens of crime, Cara Hunter.

4.5 stars, hunter astonishes

NO WAY OUT begins with a catastrophic event and then follows two timelines: one commences almost a year before the fire (not a spoiler, since there are flames on the cover); the other is the police investigation led by DI adam fawley, who has his own issues to contend with.
the audiobook has several good narrators, while the print version has different typefaces to differentiate among narration, text messages, news articles, police reports, etc.
a gripping read in either format, with a whole school of red herrings

Excellent story

Disliked the excruciating minutiae of email addresses and timelines of the firefighters. Unnecessary details which made it difficult to keep track of the characters and various plots. Needed to reread several chapters to fully understand the conclusion.

Love this series

I am so excited that Cara Hunter’s Adam Fawley series continues to be released on Audible. Hunter’s novels are second to none. I love the characters in these books. There’s so much heart put into the writing, which is excellent. The police produceral is taken to the next level with excellent interpersonal relationships between the characters, exciting and innovative plots, and plenty of twists. I love the multi -media style of Hunter’s novels. No Way Out was excellent as usual, didn’t disappoint, and I would highly recommend it along with the first two books in the series that are currently on Audible!

Another then and now read

Interesting twist at the end. Would have been better if it weren’t for the constant switch from then to now and back again

meh.

This book is ALL over the place. can’t keep track to be honest. Idk what the appeal is.
