When an Oxford student accuses one of the university’s professors of sexual assault, DI Adam Fawley’s team think they’ve heard it all before. But they couldn’t be more wrong.
Because this time, the predator is a woman and the shining star of the department, and the student a six-foot male rugby player.

My Review:
The Whole Truth is another compelling and immersive book from one of my favourite authors. It’s going to be a difficult book to review as I don’t want to give away any spoilers.
I’ve always loved this author’s ability to create fantastic plots that quickly draw the reader into the story. Her books are always well constructed and very believable which allows the reader to just enjoy the story. The story has lots of twists to it that kept me guessing and I found myself changing my opinion of what happened throughout. The author kept varying the pace of the story to reflect what was happening, with the author slowing down parts of the story that needed more contemplation but speeding up the more action packed ones which I thought very clever and helped keep me on my toes.
It was great to be back with Adam and solving a case with his fantastic team. As always the author has created some wonderful, believable characters that are great fun to follow, and in some cases catch up with, throughout the book. The author stays away from the normal police stereotypes that usually feature in crime books which is refreshing. There is a little bit about Adam’s personal life but the book is mostly about the case which made for a very interesting read.
Overall I really enjoyed this interesting, fast paced read and can’t wait to read more from her in the future. The book had a modern feel to it with the story being interspersed with social media posts, texts and the new addition of podcasts which I thought was a nice touch. I found this book hard to put down and often found myself reading much to late at night as I had to know what would happen next.
Huge thanks to Ellie Hudson from Viking for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book. If you are looking for a new addictive crime book then I highly recommend this one.
