I could have chosen somewhere else, of course, but I live in Oxford, and whoever it was who said ‘write what you know’ is dead right. Don’t get me wrong, I am the most immense fan of the whole franchise, but it does make Oxford a mite crowded for anyone wanting to set their own crime series here. If you believe even half of what you see there can’t be a (thinly disguised) college that hasn’t lost at least half a dozen dons to murderous revenge or professional rivalry. And since then, of course, we’ve had Lewis and Endeavour too.
The books started it, but it was the TV series starring John Thaw that really sealed the city’s fate. But before we get to my review I asked the author Cara Hunter why she chose Oxford as the scene of the crime.
Close to Home introduces DI Adam Fawley in this nail-biting crime fiction novel. I was delighted to be asked by Poppy from Penguin to be part of the blog tour for this debut crime novel which was published in December 2017.
