‘How To Kill Your Family’ is not your conventional murder mystery, as it has the very interesting aspect of being written from the perspective of the serial character. As a consequence of which, rather than the traditional build up to find out how the murders happened at the end, we see the planning and execution of each. This however also meant that the protagonist was ultimately dislikable, whereas you still were interested in her motives and “rooting” for her success as she made out her victims to be even more dislikable, we all love an unreliable narrator. Whereas, ultimately I found the closure of the book quite disappointing, of which may be a fault of my own as I had built up a much more exciting ending in my head, whereas it was also the ending that most of the story led me to believe, with a couple hints otherwise here and there like any good twist. This twist, it did its job and I still enjoyed the feeling of disbelief as you sit in silence after reading the final page, but overall I feel it wasn’t the best ending for the story and much potential was lost. Contrary to this, the book still gets 4 stars as it was a much needed break for myself, having not pleasure read for a while.
