About A Killer in the Family

"Read by multiple narrators, the audiobook highlights the novel’s multiple perspectives. The use of accents helps ground the listeners in each character while helping build the tension between players." — Booklist “Isuri Wijesundara, Lipica Shah, and Vikas Adam perform the story’s shifting perspectives with authenticity, vulnerability, and intensity, lending distinct layers to a tale of privilege, betrayal, and murder.” — Kirkus (Earphones Award Winner) An intoxicating drama set in the world of New York City’s elite, A Killer in the Family explores the underside of the American dream and asks, what happens when you marry into a family that keeps secrets? This program features multicast narration. It’s time for Ali, a good-natured Mumbai party-boy, to grow up. The first step to settling down is an arranged marriage to Maryam, the daughter of Abbas Khan, a New York real estate tycoon. She’s pretty, demure, and respectable—unlike her sister, Farhan, a sexy, rebellious divorcée. After the wedding, Ali moves to New York and enjoys the privileges of being an honorary Khan: private helicopters, supertall skyscrapers, and a Gatsbyesque house in the Hamptons. But soon rumors begin to surface about Abbas Khan—accusations of corruption and hidden affairs—and Farhan hints that a violent secret underlies Abbas's success. Though Ali's wife insists the insinuations are unfounded, he can't shake the feeling that there's something he doesn't know. To uncover the truth, Ali launches his own investigation, which takes him deep into Abbas’s dealings and past. As he closes in on the truth, Ali must decide: Can he remain part of the Khan family, and pay the moral price demanded by unimaginable wealth and power?
