3 Stars from me
I need to start this by explaining the 3 stars as Cara Hunter is an author whose books I usually love and often give 5 stars to, however sadly the format of this one just made it super hard to read, for me.
That said, the story itself is good and wonderfully crafted with characters that all felt slippery and untrustworthy making for a head scratching whodunnit, but I found it hard work pulling that out of the way the information is presented and found myself skipping the printed bits and attempting to join the dots. I read it on kindle and wonder if this would work so much better as an audio book?
My thanks to NetGalley and the (honestly brilliant, don’t let this review but you off of her incredible books) author for an ARC in return for an honest review.
Blurb: A shocking thriller about a cold case, a fictional true crime series, and the family caught in the middle.
SIX EPISODES. ONE KILLER.
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. Everyone present around the time of the murder swears 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 Netflix series Infamous, dedicated to investigating–and perhaps cracking–this famous cold case. The production team will re-examine testimony, re-interview witnesses, and once again scour the evidence. The family will speak. The key players will be reunited–on camera. The truth will come out.
Are you ready to see it?
