4.0
adventurous dark emotional funny mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Loveable characters: Yes

Everyone in the Cunningham family has killed someone, so it’s no surprise when they come together for a family reunion, the body count starts to go up.

EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY HAS KILLED SOMEONE by Benjamin Stevenson is clever, witty, and just a fun time!

It’s narrated by Ernest Cunningham (a writer of ‘how to write a mystery book’ books), and he is charming, trustworthy(?), and breaks the fourth wall with the absolute best banter! I was literally reading passages aloud to my partner because I thought they were so brilliant!

I rolled my eyes a bit when it came to the actual murders and the reasoning behind them (would have been five stars otherwise), but HIGHLY recommend you read this one (or listen!) when it hits shelves!

I’m already looking forward to anything else Stevenson writes in this style because it’s something I’ve realized I desperately need in my life!

Huge thanks to NetGalley and Mariner Books for an ARC in exchange for an honest review!
