Murder in the Family by Cara Hunter was one of the thrillers I’d been most excited to read since January. The story is framed as the production of a true crime series, where they investigate unsolved cases. This season, a group of strangers takes on the mystery of the producer’s stepfather’s long-unsolved murder.
Some parts felt a bit slow while others moved too fast—I occasionally lost track of who was investigating what—but I really enjoyed the multiple perspectives and what each character brought to the investigation. Listening to it on audio made the experience even better, since it honestly felt like I was following a true crime podcast.
By the time we get to the end, the killer is pretty obvious, but I loved that there were plenty of twists before that point—like the reveal that two of the main investigators already knew about the victim’s past. I did expect more (probably because my hopes were so high), but I’d still recommend it, especially if you pair the book with the audiobook.

5⭐️

the audio for this is an absolute BANGER

highly highly HIGHLY recommend listening to this on audio if you’re gonna read it, I def would’ve been confused and liked it a lot less if I’d been trying to read it physically

I had full body chills multiple times and never saw any of the twists coming????

one of the best thrillers I’ve ever read (listened to)
