Book synopsis
She has everything at stake; he has everything to lose. But one of them is lying, all the same.
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.
Soon DI Fawley and his team are up against the clock to figure out the truth. What they don’t realise is that someone is watching.
And they have a plan to put Fawley out of action for good…

My review
When I was asked to be on this blog tour I jumped at the chance! Cara Hunter is one of my absolute favourite authors. I have read all of her books and loved every single one of them. They have all been five star reads for me and so was this one!
‘An attractive student. An older professor.
Think you know the story? Think again.’ – cover tag line.
‘The Whole Truth’ by Cara Hunter is the fifth in Hunter’s series of police procedurals set in Oxford with DI Fawley. I loved that the book had a part ‘previously on the Fawley files’ that was a refresher to the main characters. This is especially good for anyone that wants to read this as a stand-alone too
Apart from the accusation in the tag line there is another case going on to that includes a murder. This was amazing the way the author tied this all in together.
A totally brilliant book and a series that I have loved! Cannot wait for the next book.
