Book Hero Magic crafted this summary to help describe this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Summary
Murder in the Family by Cara Hunter is a unique true-crime thriller presented as the teleplay of a documentary series. It centres on the unsolved 2003 murder of Luke Ryder, stepfather to young filmmaker Guy Howard, found dead in their suburban garden. Despite a thorough investigation and media frenzy, the case went cold. Now, years later, a new streaming series brings together six experts to re-examine the evidenceβ€”photos, maps, coroner's reports and moreβ€”challenging readers to piece together the truth and decide who is lying.

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

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 reader puzzling away, reviewing photos, maps, coroner's reports and other evidence as they read. 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 sisters were in the house at the time of the murderβ€”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 investigatingβ€”and perhaps crackingβ€”this famous cold case. Years later a group of experts re-examine the evidenceβ€”with shocking results. Does the team know more than they've been letting on?

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