About this listen
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Close to Home by Cara Hunter, read by Emma Cunniffe and Lee Ingleby. Featuring 37 cameo voices, including Cara Hunter.
How can a child vanish without a trace?
Last night, 8-year-old Daisy Mason disappeared from a summer party at her home. No one at the party noticed her leave. Even her parents aren't sure of the last time they saw her. DI Adam Fawley is trying to keep an open mind. But he knows that in nine cases out of ten, it's someone close to the victim.
When a pair of bloody tights is discovered, Fawley's worst suspicions are concerned.
Someone knows where Daisy is.
And her time is running out.
Introducing DI Fawley and his team of Oxford detectives, Close to Home is the first in the new crime series readers and authors are raving about.

You'll never guess who done it!
I really enjoyed listening to this, thought I had it figured, but no,very clever . Great use of different voices and some truly unpleasant characters. The only thing that I loathed was the 'tweets'. Skipped over them in the end

are you friggin' kidding me
what were the producers thinking?
making us listen to every single html identifier every single time someone says something during an online exchange?
o lordy whose bright idea was it to do that?
let me give you an example of what i just listened to: (not a direct quote but paraphrased near enough)
"online news blog hastag find daisy catherine miller at news at nine fifteen on the fifth of august slash email

online news blog hastag find daisy pete smith at news at nine sixteen on the fifth of august slash email

online news blog hastag find daisy catherine miller at news at nine seventeen on the fifth of august slash email
those poor parents
online news blog hastag find daisy pete smith at news at nine eighteen on the fifth of august slash email
it's their fault if you ask me
online news blog hastag find daisy catherine miller at news at nine seventeen on the fifth of august slash email

online news blog hastag find daisy pete smith at news at nine eighteen on the fifth of august slash email

online news blog hastag find daisy catherine miller at news at nine nineteen on the fifth of august slash email
you haven't got kids so you don't know
online news blog hastag find daisy pete smith at news at nine twenty on the fifth of august slash email

And just when you thought it was all over...
There’s yet another twist! Some people have mentioned the Twitter responses in the story and their frustration listening to them but there aren’t a lot and it does kind of add to the feeling in the community. I loved this book!

Clever Book
Couldn't stop listening. Excellent performances by Cunniffe and Ingleby. The social media snippets were a brilliant addition to the story, again well performed.
