Murder in the Family

A Novel

De: Cara Hunter

Narrado por: Lisa Armytage, Olivia Dowd, Rupert Farley, James Goode, Colin Mace

ONE BODY. SIX EXPERTS. CAN YOU SOLVE THE CASE BEFORE THEY DO?

Mega-bestselling British crime novelist Cara Hunter makes her big American debut with a wholly immersive thriller like none you've seen before: written as the teleplay of a true-crime documentary, it has the listener puzzling away, reviewing photos, maps, coroner's reports and other evidence as they listen. The exciting multi-narrator audiobook features five actors telling the story from different perspectives. Can you tell who's lying?

"An excellent, wholly original whodunnit! You won’t have read a mystery like this, and you’ll be kept in the dark right to the end." --Gilly MacMillan, bestselling author of The Long Weekend

It was a case that gripped the nation. In December 2003, Luke Ryder, the stepfather of acclaimed filmmaker Guy Howard (then aged 10), was found dead in the garden of their suburban family home.

Luke Ryder’s murder has never been solved. Guy Howard’s mother and two half-sisters were in the house at the time of the murder—but all swear they saw nothing. Despite a high-profile police investigation and endless media attention, no suspect was ever charged.

But some murder cases are simply too big to forget…

Now comes the sensational new streaming series Infamous, dedicated to investigating—and perhaps cracking—this famous cold case. Years later a group of experts re-examine the evidence – with shocking results. Does the team know more than they’ve been letting on?

True crime lovers and savvy listeners, you can review the evidence and testimony at the same time as the experts. But can you solve the case before they do?

Wonderful full cast narration

Enjoyed the full cast narration. Listened to this in tandem with the physical copy and it was worth it.

Great book, tough start

The first hour was confusing as the movie script was difficult to aurally understand. HOWEVER once you get used to it & get into the flow, it’s a great listen! Wonderful narrators and perplexing story!

Amazing and engaging

Absolutely loved this book. I liked the pacing and the twist plots. I didn’t see it coming of who the killer was.

Anazing whodunit!

<strong>such a great whodunit!</strong>

I’m giving this 4 stars instead of 5 because I seriously had a hard time reading the layout. Once I purchased the audible it was SMOOTH sailing. It reads exactly how the author intends when it’s in audible, as a script for a show.
As for the book itself, it was amazing!! It’s basically a whodunit in direct correlation to Clue and even the great Agatha Christie’s novels. We follow Guy and his family as they rehash an unsolved murder that happened in their house 20 years previous. Guy wants to do this to lay all questions to rest as his aging mom is losing her memory and has been plagued by what ifs for 20 years.
The ride is wild, so many twists and turns you would never expect and the big reveal is HUGE. I’m happy to say that my guess on who did it was correct, just not for the right reasons.

Twist after twist

So many twist. It had you thinking that everyone was the killer. And then to find out who the killer was omg. Kept you guessing until the very last page.

Different Spin on a Murder Mystery

This was really made for an audio book- and it was a great performance. Imagine you are watching a reality show that is trying to solve a cold case. That is this book. Very interesting and different point of view - I love that the author took that risk. I get tired of reading the same old stories. Lots of twists and turns in this one, with a few being predictable and others coming out of left field. Fun listen - recommend for sure!

Hours of entertainment

I really enjoyed the performance of the reading! They did an amazing job! The story was great! A great whodunnit

Multi Media was fun to read.

Lots of characters to keep up with just listening to the book my reading. I enjoyed the twist and turns.

Loved it!

Creative, fun and plenty of twists! Great murder mystery and a unique format. Totally recommend.

Great mystery!

I loved reading this book… I mean, listening to this book… I wish it had come with a way for me to see the characters and their statistics and other information as it does in the physical book. I had to replay the first three chapters 2 or 3 times. And throughout the rest of the book, I found myself having to replay certain parts, so I could completely understand it. Overall, it was a great book, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Great twists throughout the book and a great ending! So how about a sequel?
