Description

It’s a relatively new area of concern in criminal investigations, but Hunter shows how it impacts the investigating team, and prejudices those involved, from the police to the witnesses, to the victims themselves. The mixed media in this is nothing like I've read before and it really made it a stand out for me - there are interview transcripts, tweets, media articles, letters and all in differing texts and styles and that is a win! This in turn, results in anger and threats of violence, and it becomes even more imperative that DI Fawley and his team discover the whereabouts of Daisy.

Cara Hunter’s debut novel presents us with a case that could have been ripped from last night’s headlines.She wipes her cheek, where tears still linger, and she wishes with all her heart she was like the princess in Brave. There was many a scene, where I was so immersed in what else was going on that I failed to notice important clues, and each new reveal left me reeling, thrilled over the authors ability to surprise me. Flashbacks to the days prior to Daisy's disappearance help create the background and potential motives and routes the plot can take.

se exagera tanto que en vez de provocar indignación en el televidente por la noticia reciente, lo que causan es hartar al televidente por su información reiterativa y extensa.Seeing how the public keeps reacting to the case certainly nudges a reader down certain avenues of suspicion, I kept changing my mind on who was the guilty part throughout! But as the story goes back and forth in the timeline, it is obvious that almost nothing is as it seems. Often there would be a plot reveal in the present, followed by the flashback relating to it, increasing my dread at every turn. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

Gracias a esa sección, y a Daisy, siento que no perdí completamente el tiempo leyendo esta historia.Ahora sí seré muy breve: Me gustó más El sótano de Oxford, pero la búsqueda de Daisy Mason también ha sido intensa. Esto, es lo que he sentido en esta ocasión cuando conocí un libro llamado ¿Quién se ha llevado a Daisy Mason? The clues took me on the most puzzling journey but it prepared me for the big twist in the epilogue.

There’s nothing ground breaking about this book but it’s excellently plotted and you really need to know what comes next. Told in short chunks from different points of view, mixing DI Adam Fawley’s own first person point of view with the perspective of his colleague, DC Everett and flashbacks to Daisy’s life in the buildup to her disappearance, plus news reports and social media posts about the case. Cara Hunter begins her series featuring DI Adam Fawley of Thames Valley Police with a mix of police procedural and psychological thriller set in Oxford. En mi opinión, la idea no era mala, pero al hacerlo así, pasó de ser una idea novedosa a una desastrosa. Hunter is an accomplished storyteller with an excellent understanding of how to manipulate the audience to her own ends, and is sure to become a household name with a couple more novels under her belt.Adding to this disjointed feel are the fleeting attentions of a story which jumps between random elements meaning that much of what unfolds is merely given cursory attention. This novel centres around a missing school girl Daisy Mason and her utterly dysfunctional family which is investigated by DI Adam Fawley , who is an interesting character with a sad personal history which became clearer as the book unfolded. which, speaking of: there was also some half-ass attempting at unique formatting (through the inclusion of tweets and BBC articles) that was just the worst. The story was interspersed with social media entries which was fairly interesting as the family was trolled in the public domain - in this instance with justification. Adam and his team slowly find that every assumption they have made begins to slowly fall apart as they try to find out what happened.
