Lord Crawford has got somebody trying to assassinate him so in a desperate attempt he hires a bodyguard after watching him in a boxing match and he seems familiar. He finds his long lost friend and the reason why somebody wants him dead!

This is a lovely written story the way the friendship blooms after the time they've had apart is fantastic. Some fights occur and I found myself wincing, to be honest, it's that well written. The sex scenes aren't coarsely written they are graphic but beautiful in a way the connection they have is amazing.

It really was a shock who was attempting to murder Alfie and why!

Definitely suggest you read it

Brandon Lee's final movie

Famously, this is the movie in which the then-28 year old Brandon Lee (who was the son of Martial Arts legend Bruce Lee) was tragically accidentally shot and killed while filming.

That particular scene, thankfully, is not in the movie.

It's also very dark, very emo, with Lee's Eric Draven coming back to life a year after his and his fiancee's murder in order to track down and visit his revenge upon those responsible on Devil's Night, the night before Halloween.

Try watching the boardroom scene towards the end, then watch The Matrix. Spot any similarities? Similarly, the finale in an abandoned church, and then 1989's Batman. Again, any similarities you may spot?

Book Rating

I really enjoy Cara Hunter's Adam Fawley series so was eager to read this, a standalone thriller but, unfortunately, whilst I enjoyed the story, I liked the characters (although not many were likeable!) and I really enjoyed the mystery of who did the deed, I wasn't overly keen on the writing format which I found quickly became tedious due to the scene setting rather than focusing on the actual story.

Despite my misgivings on the style, I did like the twists and turns and, like I said, overall I enjoyed it and I thank HarperCollins UK, Harperfiction and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of Murder in the Family.
