⚠️ CW: murder, racism, child abuse and mentions of drug use ⚠️ If you're looking for an incredibly explosive, mind boggling and page turning read then you need to read this book! In October 2003, Luke Ryder was found dead in the garden of his family home in London, leaving behind a wealthy older widow and three stepchildren. Nobody saw anything. Now secrets will be revealed, live on camera in a genius true crime tv show. A group of experts re-examine the evidence with shocking results. Does the team know more than they’ve been letting on? Or does the truth lie closer to home? This read was absolutely incredible and read like a true crime book. The twists and turns were utter perfection and I would have happily binge read this in one sitting if I could. From the dynamic between the characters, to the mixed media throughout, to the unravelling storyline. Everything was perfect. And this may just be my new favourite read of the year! Overall, I highly recommend reading this one if you're a crime fiction fan.
