2000s: Christmas in Oxford is definately not turning out to be festive
It’s one of the most disturbing cases DI Fawley has ever worked.
The Christmas holidays, and two children have just been pulled from the wreckage of their burning home in North Oxford. The toddler is dead, and his brother is soon fighting for his life.
Why were they left in the house alone? Where is their mother, and why is their father not answering his phone?
Then new evidence is discovered, and DI Fawley’s worst nightmare comes true.
Because this fire wasn’t an accident.
It was murder.
Back to Oxford in the third in the series and this one takes the reader around the city but to the more salubrious parts of the city. Back to Fairley road (luckily fictional from the second novel) and this time to another street of the Bambury Road (Southey Street)where there is an horrific fire.
It’s Christmas but there’s no sense of jolliness here. There’s children involved which makes it harder to cope with any kind of crime anyway.
The city police have a task on their hands in a case that encompasses fires, stabbings and several crimes which could be related all reported in the papers and on social media, the snippets of which are peppered throughout the city.
Summertown might sound nice and it is in real life – a suburb just out side the city itself, but the police investigation brings shadows which banish any sunshine which may be here.
