Murder in the Family by Cara Hunter is one of the most unique books Iโ€™ve read this year; maybe one of the most memorable books Iโ€™ve read recently. It did take me a while to adjust to the format, but I think thatโ€™s more a me thing, and my brain is not used to processing books this way. But, I eventually fell into step with the story and grew to appreciate just how much effort it was to create this kind of novel. There are photos, diagrams, maps, texts, emails, transcripts, and everything you need to solve the mystery. Itโ€™s perfect for true crime lovers.

Iโ€™m usually pretty confident that most stories translate well into audio, but Iโ€™m unsure how Murder in the Family would do. The visual clues were essential to following the story and appreciate the unique format. If you went the audiobook route, I would love your thoughts!
