Should you join Griffin Dunne's The Friday Afternoon Club?

the true crime that's worth your time

The crime
The 1982 murder of Griffin Dunne's sister, Dominique; the second career Dunne's father, Dominick, then made reporting on high-profile trials for Vanity Fair.

The story
The Friday Afternoon Club: A Family Memoir isn't really a crimoir, or it isn't only a crimoir, so if you come to Griffin Dunne's new book wanting only his experience of his sister's murder – or of his father's publishing ascent in its wake – then the book is maybe not for you. (Not least because, if that's your area of interest, you probably read much of the pertinent material when VF excerpted it a few months ago.)
