About this listen
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?

It's Christmas in Oxford, and firefighters have pulled two children from the smoking ruin of their home. The mystery deepens when it becomes clear that the parents are nowhere to be found. Why were the children left in the house alone? Why is neither parent answering their phone? Were they kidnapped? Murdered? From the start, DI Fawley—still reeling from his own personal tragedy—knows that this house fire is the scene of a crime, not an accident.

Story
It happened in stages. My father left. My twin sister died of an incurable autoimmune disease. My mother started breaking down. Then I was diagnosed with the very thing that took my other half from me. That was when I realized Mama’s eyes turned gold when she cried. So I moved in with my father and his new family - new wife, new son, new stepbrother. Kaiden Monroe made me feel normal. Hated. Cared for. Loathed. And...loved. Somewhere along the way, I’d found solace in the boy with brooding eyes. But everything happens in stages. And nothing good ever lasts.

Her only human contact is her enigmatic old neighbor, Deek, and (via text) the house’s owner, Jules. One day, she reads a poorly written—but gruesome—horror novel by the author H. G. Kane, and posts a one-star review that drags her into an online argument with none other than the author himself. Soon after, disturbing incidents start to occur at night.

Amazing and engaging

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.
Anazing whodunit!
