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.

      Starred review from November 1, 2023

      Following In the Dark, the third in Hunter's best-selling British police procedural series is published in the States for the first time. It's after midnight on Jan. 4, 2018, when firefighters in Oxford, England, face a terrible house fire that may have been set. A toddler is dead, and a 10-year-old boy is rescued, but is on the brink of death. Detective Inspector Adam Fawley and his team search for the missing parents while also investigating the fire as a murder case. There were problems in the Esmond household. The father, Michael, failed to show up to present at an academic conference; Samantha, the mother, struggled with postpartum depression. When Michael's brother arrives, he's unable to assist the police with their investigation. It will take meticulous work to uncover the truth. Flashbacks, newspaper accounts, phone records, and arson reports are compiled to reveal family secrets that led to a ghastly tragedy. VERDICT Readers of Ann Cleeves's series will want to try this well-written story marked by complicated twists to the end and an interesting police team.--Lesa Holstine
