The Whole Truth- Cara Hunter-Crime/police procedural
A research student is accusing a Professor at Oxford of sexual assault. The
twist is that the student is male - a rugby player type and the Professor
female. DI Fawley and his team soon work out that this isn't any ordinary
investigation. Fawley has his own issues as someone he convicted and
his wife was a victim has just been let out of prison. His wife is now
heavily pregnant and is watching every person and car just in case. Two
interwoven storylines cleverly told. The one involving Fawleys wife Alex
is partly told through excerpts of podcasts which catch us up nicely on
a case that happened almost twenty years ago.
This is part of a series- book 5- however it stands alone- I hadn’t read
the others. There is a useful and simple who’s who and what's what
guide at the beginning to give a little background to the police team.
A brilliantly written very engaging story and despite the potential
complexity is very easy to follow- evidence to me of thoughtful,
planned, adept writing.
