Making a Killing takes readers back to 2016 and the first case in 'Close to Home' where then Detective Inspector Adam Fawley investigated the presumed killing of 8-year-old Daisy Mason. Whose mum, Sharon, was convicted of her murder and sentenced to life in prison. Even though Daisy's body was never recovered.
But Adam is sure justice had been done and they had caught and charged the right person.
However, fast forward eight years, and journalist Nick Vincent, host of a true crime show, has received some interesting evidence that could prove Sharon is innocent, and his team are now desperately trying to verify if that's true.
Meanwhile, in the Cotswolds, a body is discovered by a woman walking her dog and forensic evidence links it back to Daisy, which prompts a collaboration between two police forces as they work fervently to piece together the mystery.
Leaving DCI Adam Fawley and his team with the daunting task of revisiting the case and unravelling the intricate layers surrounding Daisy's disappearance. In order to finally uncover what truly happened to Daisy Mason.
And with an interesting protagonist in Adam Fawley. Not to mention a story that is dark, twisted, perplexing, nicely paced and creatively told through mixed media. This was a brilliant read and introduction to a series I can't wait to read more from, and I will definitely be reading Close to Home over the next couple of months!!
