Murder in the Family
by Cara Hunter
Bookshelf Raiders September Read - Author's name beginning with 'C'
I was eagerly anticipating reading this novel that had been generating a lot of buzz online. However, when it came to reviewing and rating the book, I found myself facing a bit of a challenge. I dithered between three and four stars for some time.
That being said, the plot was enthralling, filled with suspense and drama that kept me engaged from start to finish. The characters were all deeply flawed, which created a dynamic and tense group dynamic that added to the overall appeal of the story. The ending was a complete surprise, and I was impressed by the author's ability to craft such a well-rounded and intricate storyline, giving each character an equal amount of importance. Hunter's mastery skills are evident, making this book an ideal choice for a book club read, with plenty of discussion points to explore.
However, my main issue with this book is its format. I found the chapters in the printed version to be too lengthy, which made it a bit tedious to read at times. I believe that the audiobook version would be a better choice, with each character having their own distinctive voice, making it sound more like a documentary and adding to the overall experience.
Overall, I would highly recommend this book to fans of murder mysteries and thrillers. However, I would caution readers who struggle with complexity to approach this book with caution, and perhaps read with a notepad to hand, as it does require a bit of effort to fully appreciate the details of the story.
