A funny murder mystery that keeps you guessing. The main character is hilarious. This book leaves you wanting more. Good thing there is a 2nd book out now.

This one kept me guessing until the end. I would recommend it for patrons who are looking for a whodunit with an unconventional narrator.

I liked the idea of this book, and there was some very clever writing. There was some twists and turns that kept me entertained. I would read this author again.

Clever and snarky, this uniquely written murder mystery introduces a family of killers who are having a reunion at a mountain top ski resort. Engaging narrator, fast paced, and a true mystery! Highly recommend this read!

Great premise, great narrator, and wonderfully engaging tone. This is a well written, fast paced, entertaining book. It has some fine lines, amusing mild snark, a generally amiable tone, a few well-conceived set pieces, and a fair share of perceptive and insightful observations. It's also good, sometimes pointed, fun. I would encourage inquisitive readers who like playing with genre conventions to give the book a try.

This is an outstanding mystery with well-developed characters, clever humor and complicated plot. I loved it!

This book was not at all what I was expecting but I enjoyed it. This was a true mystery— not a thriller, not a suspense novel. I normally don’t read true mysteries, so I did not read this as quickly as I would have liked, but I am glad I did. It was a good read, and definitely kept me guessing. For a comedian, he is a decent writer and I have already recommended to a few customers along with the sequel, which I am reading now

I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
. As the title suggests it involves several deaths, at least some of which are murders. The book is set in a remote Australian ski resort where the members of a troubled family meet for a reunion. The story is told from the first person perspective of one of the book's characters - the author of several how-to-write-a-who-done-it mystery. What makes the novel, well, novel, is that the storyteller sets out to tell this multiple murder mystery by first laying out the rules he has himself identified in his prior how-to books and promising to follow them in explaining the clues he discovers along the way.
What I will leave for you to read yourself is whether this practical advice writer is able to use his own rules to solve the murders that occur at the retreat. I recommend this entertaining book.

I know a lot of people have raved about this book and I was looking forward to it, but I couldn’t get through it. For me, it’s too contrivedly quirky, from the characters to the voice to the construction (“to see why, go here” with a hyperlink.) It was almost choose your own adventure style, which I thought I’d like, but didn’t quite work for me here.

This book was one of my favorite reads of 2023. it was a murder mystery told with lots of humor. it kept me guessing as to who was and what was going on while it also had me laughing. I loved the way the book was narrated. I could not put this book down and I can't wait to read his next book.

Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone occurs during the Cunningham family reunion at a ski resort. Ernest narrates the story, interjecting comments to the reader about various things, like comments his editor had made, in which chapters people will die, etc. I really enjoyed this commentary/"breaking of the fourth wall." It kept things interesting and had me laughing at serious parts of the story. I've heard HBO has picked up the rights to adapt this novel, and I'm looking forward to experiencing it again on screen.

I just loved reading this book. The Cunninghams are having a family reunion at a ski resort. Once they arrive the snow and the bodies start to fall. Despite the murders I found myself laughing out loud. I really enjoyed the characters. The mystery was good with lots of suspects and the solution made sense. I am looking for word to reading the next book. Enjoy

Favorite Quotes:

The wind was cruel; it found every crevasse in my clothes, invaded and patted me down like I owed it money.

Lucy smokes like she’s siphoning gas...

Time was not only borrowed, it was charging interest.

People have a habit of saying “That’s all I’m saying” when they’re saying an awful lot, I’ve noticed.

The hatred had scuttled back to her edges, like a closet full of roaches exposed to the light… An anger hangover, Erin and I used to call them: when you argue over nothing and realize in the cold light of morning that you just look stupid.

Family is not whose blood runs in your veins, it’s who you’d spill it for.


My Review:

This one is rife with amusing and wickedly clever observations and insights, which were tossed out to readers as asides, to include us as fellow collaborators to his efforts. The writing was entertaining and compelling with a complex plot and storylines thick with complicated issues, strained family relationships, dry wit, and a large cast of oddly quirked characters. I reveled in the dark humor and the undercurrents running through each crime, which were prickly and confounding yet smartly nuanced when I looked back at them. Some were cringe-worthy twisted with gruesome descriptors, but not enough to have me regretting my nibbles while perusing. I see there is a book two listed, I am eaten up with curiosity to see what quagmire the well-intentioned Ernest lands himself in next.

3.5 for Everyone In My Family Has Killed Someone!
This was an entertaining whodunnit story with a great setting (who doesn’t love a snowstorm?!) and an interesting cast of characters. This was a successful murder mystery that took a few chapters to really get into, but once I did I thoroughly enjoyed every page.
I can honestly say I was surprised at a lot of the twists and there were some good thrills along the way.

It was very well written and I loved the narration. I loved the dark humor thrown in and the crazy family dynamic- it’s always fun to read a book full of characters with different personalities and see how they all blend together.

This was my first book by this author and I’ll definitely check out his other work!

I was so excited to be approved for this book, and although I tried several times to read it, it just didn't work for me. I'm not sure if it was the style of writing or the voice/narration, but it just wasn't for me.
I am rating it 3 stars for the premise which I think is quite intriguing.

My rating is an average of two separate feelings about this book. Five stars for the narration & humor and three stars for the actual mystery. I enjoyed this book but found the central mystery uninteresting. It made it take a lot longer for me to get through the book than it should have. Despite that, I’m still looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

An absolutely delicious premise… The voice of the protagonist just sings in this clever piece of crime fiction that feels wholly unique. I loved how self aware the narrator is throughout the story. If you are a fan of the Benoit Blanc movies or The Thursday Murder Club series (like I am), then you will love this book. Highly recommend.

An interesting twist on the classic murder mystery. At times I felt that the pacing was a little slow, but it was still worth reading for the twists.

ive tried a few times to get through this book both written format and audio and for whatever reason it just doesn't work for me. It may be the personality of the main character and how the story is told but it just doesnt hold my attention sadly.

Thank you for the advanced e-copy of this book. I enjoyed the format, while it was a little confusing for me at times. There were so many different characters, I had some trouble keeping them all straight. I was SHOCKED by the twist at the end of the book, which for me, means it was a success.
