Reviews

'A new Maeve Kerrigan but not as you know it...I promise you won't be able to put it down' Jane Fallon 'I finished Murder In The Family last night and I'm still reeling from it. What an incredible novel. It's the most addictive book you'll read all year. The pages turn themselves and the twists will give you whiplash. The very definition of moreish. Uniquely told and simply bloody brilliant.' John Marrs "This book had me riveted to the page. It is original, inventive and totally 21st Century, but with no compromise on thrills and tension. In fact, the drama is so perfectly executed I felt as if I was actually in the moment with these characters, trying to work out what happened to Luke, analysing everyone and their potential motivations - not just the witnesses, but also the experts enlisted to investigate the case. The twists are magnificent! It really is an equal triumph of style and content. Just brilliant!" Janice Hallett, author of The Appeal 'I adored it! So brilliantly put together, so full of twists and revelations - Cara Hunter's first standalone shows there's nothing she can't do. A great premise, perfectly executed - truly a cracker of a book.'
