The circumstances surrounding Daisy’s disappearance don’t add up right from the very beginning and there are so many loose ends in the family’s story that it’s difficult to know what are lies and what is truth. I loved the case and storyline in this book. It just proved to me how awesome it is that this series really can be read as standalone books. Apart from the odd minor and irrelevant thing, there was nothing in this book to suggest that I had gone back in time so to speak. I worried that by reading the first book in the series I was going to be going over some old ground and reading stuff that I already knew about the Oxford team but this really wasn’t the case.

The Oxford team have to race against the clock to try and find Daisy Mason alive, but the longer the investigation goes on, the less likely that becomes. Which likely means that somebody is lying and DI Fawley knows too well that most of the time, that someone is close to the victim. A lot of residents from their quiet street were in attendance, but none of her family or friends have any information to give DI Fawley and his investigation team. I’ve really enjoyed the last two so why not?! So I got into Close to Home.Įight year old Daisy Mason disappears from a party at her home and nobody saw a thing. I was back and forth with myself about whether or not I should go backwards and read the first three but finally decided to go for it. If you follow my blog, you’ll have seen that I have reviewed two of the five books in the DI Fawley series by but oddly, the most recent two.
