Just finished reading "Murder in the Family" by Cara Hunter. I loved the book! 😍 It was a good read. 👍
The only thing that confused me was the summary for the plot at the book. Why did it say that Amelie and Maura Howard were Guy's half sisters when it was stated in the book that the 3 of them were full siblings? 🤨 The only confirmed half sibling was Rupert Howard.
Speaking of which, was it ever confirmed who Caroline's mystery child was? I know that JJ Norton was believed to be that mystery child at first, but he denied that plausibility.

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. Guy Howard's mother and two half-sisters were in the house at the time of the murder--but all swear 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?

Eric has acquired numerous enemies throughout his lengthy life, but none frighten him more than Gordon. The animosity between the two runs deep, as they hold each other responsible for their decline in status within the Silvaton's main family branch.
After being accused of falling into 'Madness' and being deemed a threat to the pack, Eric's mate, Lisa Silvaton, turned on him. Soon after Gordon and the five elite exiled Eric, he began to interfere with Gordon's plans to introduce his future mate Cynthia Hartwright, a young human hunter, into the pack. In an attempt to end the ongoing feud between the Hartwrights and Silvatons, the two families decided to merge by having Cynthia and Gordon get married. However, Eric saw this as an opportunity to cause even more trouble and planned to strike during this delicate time.
Staging Cynthia's death to her family, Eric then set a trap for Gordon and the pack he sought so desperately to join and waited for the chaos to unfold. The resulting confusion would lead to a young male Lycanborn (The eldest son of Olivia Silvaton - head Matriarch) being killed in Cynthia's name. Forced to defend Cynthia and her family, Gordon and his parents help the Hartwrights escape thus never seeing Cynthia again.
Due to his parents and his actions, a massive divide occurred within the Silvaton pack causing Gordon and his parents to splinter off, and move to Cold Spring New York. Where he is to raise his younger sister Stratus for the next hundred years after the sudden and tragic murder of their parents.
Tumblr media
It wasn't until Eric returned to Cold Spring that their feud finally reached its boiling point. Thus resulting in Gordon joining his sister's pack. Here, he trains Rebecca, Cara, and Emma in hopes of turning them into the same dangerous Lycans he and Stratus. As he and Stratus have big plans for them.

Best crime and thrillers of 2023
Given this year’s headlines, it’s unsurprising that our appetite for cosy crime continues unabated, with the latest title in Richard Osman’s Thursday Murder Club series, The Last Devil to Die (Viking), topping the bestseller lists. Janice Hallett’s novels The Mysterious Case of the Alperton Angels, which also features a group of amateur crime-solvers, and The Christmas Appeal (both Viper) have proved phenomenally popular, too.
Hallett’s books, which are constructed as dossiers – transcripts, emails, WhatsApp messages and the like – are part of a growing trend of experimentation with form, ranging from Cara Hunter’s intricate Murder in the Family (HarperCollins), which is structured around the making of a cold case documentary, to Gareth Rubin’s tête-bêche The Turnglass (Simon & Schuster). Books that hark back to the golden age of crime, such as Tom Mead’s splendidly tricksy locked-room mystery Death and the Conjuror (Head of Zeus), are also on the rise. The late Christopher Fowler, author of the wonderful Bryant & May detective series, who often lamented the sacrifice of inventiveness and fun on the altar of realism, would surely have approved. Word Monkey (Doubleday), published posthumously, is his funny and moving memoir of a life spent writing popular fiction.
Notable debuts include Callum McSorley’s Glaswegian gangland thriller Squeaky Clean (Pushkin Vertigo); Jo Callaghan’s In the Blink of an Eye (Simon & Schuster), a police procedural with an AI detective; Scorched Grace by Margot Douaihy (Pushkin Vertigo), featuring queer punk nun investigator Sister Holiday; and the caustically funny Thirty Days of Darkness (Orenda) by Jenny Lund Madsen (translated from the Danish by Megan E Turney).
There have been welcome additions to series, including a third book, Case Sensitive (Zaffre), for AK Turner’s forensic investigator Cassie Raven, and a second, The Wheel of Doll (Pushkin Vertigo), for Jonathan Ames’s LA private eye Happy Doll, who is shaping up to be the perfect hardboiled 21st-century hero.
Other must-reads for fans of American crime fiction include Ozark Dogs (Headline) by Eli Cranor, a powerful story of feuding Arkansas families; SA Cosby’s Virginia-set police procedural All the Sinners Bleed (Headline); Megan Abbott’s nightmarish Beware the Woman (Virago); and Rebecca Makkai’s foray into very dark academia, I Have Some Questions for You (Fleet). There are shades of James Ellroy in Jordan Harper’s Hollywood-set tour de force Everybody Knows (Faber), while Raymond Chandler’s hero Philip Marlowe gets a timely do-over from Scottish crime doyenne Denise Mina in The Second Murderer (Harvill Secker).
As Mick Herron observed in his Slow Horses origin novel, The Secret Hours (Baskerville), there’s a long list of spy novelists who have been pegged as the heir to John le Carré. Herron must be in pole position for principal legatee, but it’s been a good year for espionage generally: standout novels include Matthew Richardson’s The Scarlet Papers (Michael Joseph), John Lawton’s Moscow Exile (Grove Press) and Harriet Crawley’s The Translator (Bitter Lemon).
Historical crime has also been well served. Highlights include Emma Flint’s excellent Other Women (Picador), based on a real 1924 murder case; Laura Shepherd-Robinson’s story of a fortune teller’s quest for identity in Georgian high society, The Square of Sevens (Mantle); and SG MacLean’s tale of Restoration revenge and retribution, The Winter List (Quercus). There are echoes of Chester Himes in Viper’s Dream (No Exit) by Jake Lamar, which begins in 1930s Harlem, while Palace of Shadows (Mantle) by Ray Celestin, set in the late 19th century, takes the true story of American weapons heiress Sarah Winchester’s San Jose mansion and transports it to Yorkshire, with chillingly gothic results.
The latest novel in Vaseem Khan’s postcolonial India series, Death of a Lesser God (Hodder), is also well worth the read, as are Deepti Kapoor’s present-day organised crime saga Age of Vice (Fleet) and Parini Shroff’s darkly antic feminist revenge drama The Bandit Queens (Atlantic).
While psychological thrillers are thinner on the ground than in previous years, the quality remains high, with Liz Nugent’s complex and heartbreaking tale of abuse, Strange Sally Diamond (Penguin Sandycove), and Sarah Hilary’s disturbing portrait of a family in freefall, Black Thorn (Macmillan), being two of the best.
Penguin Modern Classics has revived its crime series, complete with iconic green livery, with works by Georges Simenon, Dorothy B Hughes and Ross MacDonald. There have been reissues by other publishers, too – forgotten gems including Celia Fremlin’s 1959 holiday‑from-hell novel, Uncle Paul (Faber), and Richard Wright’s The Man Who Lived Underground (Vintage). Finished in 1942 but only now published in its entirety, the latter is an account of an innocent man who takes refuge from racist police officers in the sewers of Chicago – part allegorical, part brutally realistic and, unfortunately, wholly topical.

depends if the murder mystery is independently interesting, what was it?
it's murder in the family by cara hunter. i was interested because i love that 'found footage' style -- i talk about janice hallet all the time, and all three of her books are in that style -- but i just immediately figured out the ending. my friend suggested i read 50 pages and see if it gets more interested, and so by that point i'd realized there's at least other mysteries in this family that i didn't immediately figure out (though i have immediate guesses, and considering the 'main' mystery is so obvious.. idk).
honestly i think i've decided i will at least give it more of a go unless it becomes unbearable, but i won't bring it on vacation with me when i leave tomorrow.
i've already read 5 books this year somehow so hopefully it wont be a slog when i do get to it.
