Murder in the Family by Cara Hunter
Book Overview
London, 2003. A respected film professor is found bludgeoned to death in his home. His stepson is arrested—but never charged.
Two decades later, the case is reopened for a Netflix-style documentary called “Infamous”, and six strangers are brought together to re-investigate the unsolved murder. But not everyone is who they seem. And someone has something to hide.
Told entirely through emails, interview transcripts, police reports, and social media threads, Murder in the Family is a masterclass in modern storytelling. Sharp, clever, and unlike anything else you've read, it keeps readers guessing until the last reveal—and then shocks you again.
