I hope you all know which costumes belong to who,’ says Julia, putting down the tray. ‘I don’t want to get into trouble with your mums.’ I loved all the layers and the direction the story took, both the characters and the twists were perfect. As police procedurals go, it doesn’t get much better, alternating between characters good, bad, and innocent, where motivations vary from the pure to the malicious, and with plenty of twists and turns. I can now include Cara Hunter on my list of favourite authors. Well done Cara! Comienzo la novela con las expectativas por las nubes y enseguida me veo intentando averiguar quién se llevó a la pequeña Daisy de la barbacoa que organizaban sus padres.

GQ: Were you aware that the flower costume your daughter wore at the party was the one Daisy Mason should have been wearing? And, DI Fawley is tasked with finding out where 8 year old Daisy Mason has vanished to in the first installment of this police procedural. (#5 is due out Jan 21, 2021) Really enjoyed this one; which actually surprised me because initially upon first embarking on "In The Dark" I found it a bit of a chore to get into. My biggest issue is with Daisy. Not in the way you may think, but it bothered me how she came across when she spoke. There were times she seemed her age, but more times than not she sounded like an adult. My other issue is the final reveal. I felt it came out of nowhere and wasn't particularly necessary.

There’s nothing ground breaking about this book but it’s excellently plotted and you really need to know what comes next. The writing is smooth and naturalistic and I’m already becoming attached to the central characters. BE WARNED, there are no chapters. BUT there are tons of scene breaks, and each "scene" is relatively short, which keeps the pace Usain Bolt-esque. I was tag teaming this book and Girl, Forgotten and LET ME TELL YOU, I would rather have no chapters than those long ass scenic drives Slaughter calls a chapter. The frustration of Detective Inspector Adam Fawley and his team was immense. The confusion of this case was getting to them all – they needed to find answers soon.

Aunque intento organizar con mucha antelación mis próximas lecturas, por lo general ese cronograma resulto cambiándolo completamente en el momento menos inesperado; esto, porque he vivido múltiples experiencias en las que un libro aparece de repente ante mí, me atrae, me obsesiona, y me produce tantas ansias de leerlo que no puedo resistir y resultó devorándomelo inmediatamente, descubriendo después que mis presentimientos sí eran acertados, y que gracias a ellos he conocido una verdadera obra maestra. Esto, es lo que he sentido en esta ocasión cuando conocí un libro llamado ¿Quién se ha llevado a Daisy Mason? Por ello, me dejé guiar por una corazonada y resulté leyendo repentinamente esta obra, con altas expectativas. No obstante, esa corazonada, me ha fallado en esta oportunidad. GQ: So if Daisy had been wearing that costume at the party it would have been obvious she was there? Reads like True Crime-relentlessly twisty and utterly compelling' Shari Lapena, No. 1 bestselling author The further I got into this intriguing book, the more I found myself leaping to one conclusion after another – all of them wrong. Hunter is a mistress of misdirection and she takes you on many a mystery tour before all is revealed in an ending that had been so cleverly concealed it left me open-mouthed.From the Sunday Times Bestselling author of CLOSE TO HOME comes a brilliant standalone thriller you'll never forget year-old Daisy is reported missing after her family's BBQ. Who's at fault? Her image-obsessed mother? Her shifty-eyed father? Or her sullen brother? Cómo? y ¿Por qué? Son las preguntas que me he estado haciendo durante toda la lectura, me ha tenido en vilo buscando minutos al día para leer.

And on top of all this, I need to mention that the book doesn't have chapters as such. The parts are split with excerpts from social media. Something which I truly believe I would have enjoyed if I read the book. But instead, I was listening to it. And it is so annoying. THE AUTHOR: Cara Hunter is a writer who lives in Oxford, in a street not unlike those featured in her series of crime books. Detective Inspector Adam Fawley is the lead on the investigation, which is one of the book’s superlatives. Everyone carries their weight and the procedurals are highly interesting, causing me to have a tough time finding a breaking point. The clues took me on the most puzzling journey but it prepared me for the big twist in the epilogue. The story is well paced and both narrators delivered two fine performances. It’s a large cast but each was given distinction both in voice and design. The primary suspects kept me off balance for most of the book. And, the inclusion of social media commentary added a layer of reality, no matter how unfortunate. Sin duda me ha parecido una forma de resolver el crimen increíble, para nada imaginaba lo que iba a suceder ni me esperaba para nada los acontecimientos.I’m going to say this now, before we get started. You won’t like it, but trust me, I’ve done this more times than I care to punish myself remembering. In a case like this - a kid - nine times out of ten it’s someone close to home. Thanks so much to Pink for the awesome PP rec and to Anne for the quasi buddy read and awesome chats 💜 Last night, eight-year-old Daisy Mason disappeared from a family party. No one in the quiet suburban street saw anything – or at least that’s what they’re saying. She stifles the acid rush of panic and tries to sit up, but the movement defeats her. She fills her lungs and shouts, flinging echoes against the walls. Shouts and shouts and shouts until her throat is raw.
