Murder in the Family by Cara Hunter

DID NOT FINISH: 36%

I couldn’t get into the “cold-case revival TV show” narration device. It made the story feel impersonal and convoluted. I could also tell that no research was done on the various ways people speak English outside of the UK. You just can’t put British turns of phrase into the mouth of an American character. Why bother having an American detective join a crew of English detectives if not to offer and explore cultural differences as a way to move the plot forward?
