Murder in the Family: An absolutely gripping new crime novel from the million copy bestselling author of the DI Adam Fawley series
Cara Hunter, the author behind the hugely popular DI Adam Fawley series, steps away from her detective protagonist for this standalone thriller, and the result is something genuinely distinctive. When Luke Ryder was found dead in the garden of his London home back in October 2003, the case left more questions than answers. A wealthy widow, three stepchildren, and not a single witness. The murder went unsolved. Years on, a team of experts revisits the evidence on a true-crime television show called Infamous, and that's where things get interesting. Do the panellists know more than they're letting on? Is the truth buried somewhere in the original case files, or is it sitting right there in the room? Hunter structures the novel in a way that puts the reader in the detective's seat, and it's a format that genuinely works. Ian Rankin called it 'devilishly clever', while Janice Hallett praised its originality and sharp contemporary feel. The Sunday Times found it addictive, and Victoria Selman described it as Hunter's finest work to date. It was recognised as one of the Financial Times and Guardian's best books of 2023, and reached number seven on the Sunday Times bestseller chart. For fans of true-crime storytelling, twisty whodunnits, or simply a thriller with an unusual structure, this one is well worth your time.
