About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

An attractive student. An older professor.

Think you know the story? Think again.

The new up-all-night thriller from the Sunday Times best-selling author Cara Hunter.

She has everything at stake; he has everything to lose. But one of them is lying, all the same.

When an Oxford student accuses one of the university's professors of sexual assault, DI Adam Fawley's team think they've heard it all before. But they couldn't be more wrong.

Because this time, the predator is a woman and the shining star of the department, and the student, a six-foot male rugby player.

Soon DI Fawley and his team are up against the clock to figure out the truth. What they don't realise is that someone is watching.

And they have a plan to put Fawley out of action for good....

Critic Reviews

Fantastic . . . my favourite series ever! (Shari Lapena, author of SOMEONE WE KNOW)
Fresh, fast-paced, and confident - with a mass of cork-screwing twists (Sarah Vaughan, author of ANATOMY OF A SCANDAL)
I was totally gripped and terrified! (Araminta Hall, author of OUR KIND OF CRUELTY)

I found the storyline really interesting but the swapping back and forth between the different cases, and the podcasts made it harder to follow.

a good story

Listened to this in a few days mostly on our dog/beach walks which is a no distraction time. I was completely absorbed as always in this series, love the narrators and the character’s stories, very engaging, if anything I found it ended too abruptly and I hope there’s more to follow soon, thank you!

Lapped it up like a special treat

This book was fantastic….. twists turns excellent character drawing. Narration superb. The preface with the characters explained was a bonus I’m devastated now that I have to wait for another DIFrawley et Al book. Thanks you for the hours of pure enjoyment.

I’m devastated can’t believe it

I really enjoy the approach Cara Hunter uses with two or more narrators. It is something she does in each of her audio books and I love it. The performances were great. I was totally hooked. I hope Lee gets the tv role.
The story itself was also great. It required me to pay attention and to form and then change my own views along the way.
I can’t wait until the release of Cara’s next book.

One of the best I have listened to.

Fabulous plot, characters and suspense about what really happened, who is guilty etc. You are taken on a ride until the very end. But the cover photo is a clue!

Brilliant!

Enjoyed it. Hard to put down. I don't like the continual jumping about but that's just me.

Enthralling.

The second murder is introduced after 4 1/2 hours into the book. And this is done abruptly.

It seems a bit stupid for a policeman not to know his wife’s friend surname and not connect the murder victim with the same name and who lives in the same neighbourhood as his wife’s friend. This must be one stupid detective. I lived in England for 6 years and there was no heatwave the way described in the book.
I get the reason why the author would use the hot weather to contribute to the general frustration of the characters.

I wasn’t really fond of the twitter part.

Narration: excellent for all parties.

Excellent
