Oh, who doesn’t love a gothic romance that’s brimming with suspense and horror?!
The setting was all you could ever want from a gothic novel: a sprawling estate, a creepy house, the misty moors right outside the door that keep you trapped in said creepy house. K.J. Charles nailed it all.

I’ve loved quite a few of K.J. Charles’ books in the past and this one is no different! I was so excited to receive arc for this, I dived into it as soon as a could. I just knew it would work for me. The romance plot and the mystery plot were balanced well, I don’t think one unfairly outshone the other, or drowned the other out. I was very much invested in Zeb and Gideon’s second chance romance (oh, the angst!) as well as the messy family drama, and the mystery that was unfolding. I mean, my favourite book is Wuthering Heights, complicated families, who are really quite awful and intent on ruining each other, trapped together on the moors is so far up my street it’s like K.J. Charles wrote All of Us Murderers just for me. Very fitting that this book releases October 7th, it’s the perfect autumnal read! I can only wait (impatiently) to reread this in rainy, misty weather with a hot cup of tea!

I’ve never claimed to be very apt at solving mysteries, so it’s no shock that every twist and reveal in here took me by surprise! The buildup was done really well, I loved that you steadily watched each character become convinced of the curse and/or haunting in Lackaday House. The hallways, the portraits, the unnerving servants. Gah, so deliciously gothic. Another aspect I enjoyed was Walter Wyckham’s background as a novelist, the “stories within the story” element really worked for me, it was a clever way to further the point that the Wyckham family have largely been a questionable bunch from get go. It was also quite fun spotting the nods to real world authors, such as Charlotte Perkins Gilman.

The romance was absolutely delightful. Second chance romances can be tricky given there’s an emotional history there we the reader aren’t privy to at the start of the story, resolving that past conflict and reestablishing the romance convincingly takes skill and K.J. Charles did it wonderfully. Zeb and Gideon were so sweet together. The tension and the angst at the start of the story was achingly enjoyable, their rekindling relationship was a treat to read. Like I said before, the romance and the mystery plot worked in tandem to create a fantastic story. Zeb and Gideon’s personalities meshed so well together. I enjoyed the portrayal of Zeb’s ADHD and how Gideon understood how he worked, it was very sweet seeing Gideon act as a sort of cornerstone for Zeb. I enjoy my sweet and spicy romances with a good dosage of angst and yearning, this is something K.J. Charles has always delivered with her stories and I’m very pleased All of Us Murderers was no different!


Big thank you to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for e-ARC!
This review was cross-posted on Goodreads.

When Zebedee accepted the invitation of his cousin Wynn to spend a fortnight at the family's fake Gothic manor in Dartmoor, he did not expect to meet several despicable members of his family at Lackaday House, nor his former lover. Although he wants to turn back to London nearly on the spot, Zeb stays, for cousin Wynn's sake.

I absolutely loved Zeb and I enjoyed being in his head while the story unfolded. He's scatter-brained, speaks before thinking, fidgets, and has self-worth issues which are being exacerbated by the constant chiding of his family members. The only person who has been able to understand Zeb and actually help him is Mr Gideon Grey, Zeb's former lover, who is working as cousin Wynn's secretary now and seemingly doesn't want to interact with Zeb at all.

Zeb seems to be the only one who sees that Wynn has trapped all of them in the house and grounds and has planned for more than just getting to know his possible heirs. Escaping Lackaday House seems tantamount, but it might only be possible with Gideon's help.

An M/M second chance Gothic mystery romance with neurodivergent representation - it shouldn't work, but KJ Charles makes it work!

I enjoyed it so much, I re-read the ARC immediately after finishing the book for the first time.

Heckkkkk yeah!! This was brilliant! Don’t go into it expecting romance - this is definitely more of a ‘Death in the Spires’ type story with the mystery and action at the forefront and the romance as a side plot, but oh boy, did it deliver on both fronts.

Zeb Wyckham is estranged from his family. Struggling with the breakdown of his relationship that also coincided with him and his former lover losing their jobs, Zeb is happy when his Uncle Wynn reaches out to invite him to stay at his country home.

But when Zeb arrives, he’s horrified to realise that all of his horrible family is in residence at the remote gothic mansion, and apparently they are all fighting for the hand of Jessamine Wyckham, to whom marriage would mean inheriting the Wyckham estate and a substantial fortune. Also, his former lover Gideon is there, acting as secretary to Wynn and clearly unhappy to be back in Zeb’s presence.

The story devolves from there into a cross between a Gothic horror, a locked room murder mystery and a horrifying fever dream. There were twists and turns galore and a cast of wholly reprehensible side characters who absolutely deserved to be tripping balls in an isolated country mansion whilst haunted by ghosts.

Zeb was a gorgeous character - he has ADHD and has been told his whole life that he is feckless and irresponsible. Gideon is his polar opposite, organised to fault. For the first part of the book I really couldn’t understand how they’d ever been a couple, but after their reconciliation and a lot of soul-searching from both of them on what caused the breakdown of their relationship in the first place, I absolutely adored them together.

I also loved how the whole way through, Zeb was completely non-plussed by the ghost story aspect of the situation he finds himself in. Not once does he falter in his sheer eye-rolling distain for the supernatural and honestly I applaud him for that. The man is literally only afraid of spiders and honestly same bro, same.

Overall another cracking read from KJC and I’m looking forward to rereading this one because I suspect it’ll be one of those books that gets better every go around!

Thank you to Poisoned Pen Press for an ARC of this book via NetGalley! It’s out on 7th October 2025 (but you know I’ll have reread it multiple times before then 😌)

Both a love letter to and a send up of the gothic literature genre, KJC turns this into a wonderful balance of gothic chills and family drama horror perfectly befitting the cover.

Zebedee is a perfect protagonist in that you can't help but root for him - from his acknowledgement of and adamant refusal to engage with with gothic tropes he's dragged into despite it being set in the Edwardian era (creepy house, creaky gates, young woman running out of the door in a nightdress, stone ruins with bloody stains on them, the works), to the background of his second-chance romance with Gideon to his finally getting a chance to stand up to his absolutely terrible family.

The terribleness of the Wyckham family is the impetus for basically all of this, from the obvious nature of the house, built by Zeb's grandfather to how terribly all of the other members of the family seem to treat both each other and those they interact with. Every time Zeb sits down to a meal with another member of his family, you know it won't end well. It's the backbone of the psychological side of the thriller, which will get to the members of this house party first - the creepy happenings in the house or each other (with a bonus side of "just how terrible can these people be"). The sense of urgency as Zeb desperately tries to get away from it all, wanting nothing to do with his family's downfall or the fortune dangled in front of him keeps you turning pages as the situation becomes increasingly unhinged and more and more gothic tropes crawl out of the woodwork right up until the conclusion.

Said conclusion does feel a bit rushed, with the epilogue picking up a lot of the slack left - it's all in keeping with Zeb's continued resistance to getting sucked into a novelistic plot, but as a reader, it took a little time to come to terms with.

I've had middling luck with second-chance romances lately, but even though this is only KJC's second time writing one, it's just the way I like it, with both partiers coming to terms with why they didn't work then and what needed to change for them to work in the future. All in all, I had a blast reading this, struggling to not just drop everything else I had to read and finish this in a day.

The premise is largely ridiculous but I enjoyed it! I don't think it'll stick with me but it's a fun trifle.

I absolutely loved this! I'm not usually one for historical fiction but wanted to give this one a shot. I'm so glad I got the chance to read this!

I thought this was a great mix of mystery, thriller and romance. Parts of this had me absolutely stressed. I thought the second chance romance was done really well and provided some relief from the tension and family drama. Which there was a lot of.

This writing sucked me in and I loved the gothic atmosphere. This is my first K.J. Charles book and I will definitely be looking in to reading more. This was a delight to read! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to read this early!

I got this as an ARC! Thank you!

KJ Charles is showing her best in this gothic mystery/romance. Set in Edwardian era, MC is a recently unemployed clerk with a complicated noble family relations. He gets invinted by his cousin to the Lackaday House, and finds a foreboding mansion full of dark secrets and possibly ghosts... But ghosts can't be real, can they? What's worse, there is also his terrible estranged brother, his brother's cold wife, a different cousin (still terrible) and lastly, his ex-lover (parted on terrible terms.)

I really loved the overall atmosphere of the book, I think KJ Charles nailed it. The despair is seeping of the pores of the Lackaday House. The familial relations are beyond awful. The love is raw.

I also really enjoyed the slow uncovering of truth. While I did guess some revelation sooner than our MC, some took my breath away. I appreciate KJ Charles sprinkling the hints on so reader can try some fun guessing.

And romance... ah. I really loved the dynamics between MC and his love interest. Its complicated and raw and angry and gentle.

My fave aspect was probably the fact that MC has ADHD and the way its portrayed. I think KJ Charles really captured it well, with the issues it causes, the societal response but also the way it can be worked with.

My only (small) complaint is that the ending felt a bit abrupt - I would have loved more words about the "after" the plot is resolved!

Still, a great 5* read, especially if you are a fan of KJ Charles' writing and/or fan of Gothic romances!

Impeccable atmosphere. If you're in the mood for a group of genuinely horrible people stuck with each other in a spooky isolated manor due to The Mists(TM) and scheming relatives, with steadily mounting tension and a creeping sense of danger as past misdeeds return to haunt them, this one is for you.

I really enjoyed the energy of Zeb and Gideon being so grounded in reality despite the way everyone else around them is getting swept up in the Gothic Novel Tropes of it all. It lends the story an air of dark comedy, that Zeb is behaving and speaking like a person at a normal family gathering while his relatives tremble and turn pale and insist upon the existence of ghosts and curses and the Dangers Of The Mist.

Darker than expected, with real peril, but that's not a complaint! Genuinely difficult to put down, and kept me up too late. That'll teach me to take my ereader to bed.

4.5 ⭐️

A return to form after a bumpy last outing. This was a creepy, atmospheric, taut gothic murder mystery, with a low-key but lovely second-chance romance providing some relief from the astounding awfulness of the other characters and the disorienting circumstances they find themselves in. Although, "murder mystery" is misleading: yes, there was an on-page murder (with the rest of the characters' fates enumerated in a brisk, chatty epilogue), but this really more a psychological thriller -- not a whodunit, but a WHAT THE FUCK???

While Evie notes in her excellent review that this resembles Death In the Spires in the mystery: romance ratio, I was more struck by the way it's a pastiche of many of KJC's preoccupations. Yes, we get a heavy focus on the mystery (although I would still call this a romance rather than a mystery-with-romantic-subplot, because the romance is central to the mystery plot and how it plays out), but we also get the Gothic themes and setting that KJC played with in A Nobleman's Guide to Seducing A Scoundrel; the masking, suffocating fog that featured so strongly in An Unseen Attraction; the impoverished gentleman whose spiteful family members left him in straightened circumstances, à la Any Old Diamonds; the horrific birth family (basically all KJC books; seriously, does anyone do horrific birth families better than KJC does horrific birth families?); and the upright, clever outsider as a foil to the corrupt upper classes (ditto).

Yet as noted above, and unusually for KJC, this is a second-chance romance -- the only one other one I recall is Jackdaw, though by all means, correct me in the comments. Unlike Jonah and Ben, whose breakup is precipitated by a shocking, shattering betrayal, Zeb and Gideon's romance was much more fraught; and its collapse, though sudden and unexpected, is also the sum of many small annoyances and struggles, in which Zeb's ADHD (obviously undiagnosed, per the historical setting) was an important factor. I really appreciated how Zeb and Gideon didn't just lust back into each other's arms. Their honesty and acceptance of their own -- and the other's -- faults and fuck-ups in their earlier relationship felt genuine, vulnerable, and real: a solid basis for building something new, rather than a papering over of what was. I also loved the reveal about what Zeb is up to when he's working away in the library: an absolute delight wrapped in an (unspoken) fuck you to his miserable, abusive family. What's not to like?

In terms of the mystery: no spoilers, but to my mind, this was an excellent blend of explicable motives and inexplicable madness. The menace was turned up to 11 throughout, the family members were just realistic enough to make their hideousness even more, well, hideous, and the whole thing was excellently plotted and executed. If/when this gets a second read (and it will, although it's too tense for me to dive back into an immediate re-read), I have no doubt I'll pick up on a lot more little hints and easter eggs throughout.

A delightfully creepy, heart-pounding read with two MCs I'd happily bitch with over a beer. Normal KJC order restored!

I got an ARC via NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

This book is carefully assembled in a way that shows the creator has got a solid handle on the craft and knows it. This is the docent-led museum tour compared to the roller-coaster of Copper Script. It doesn't quite have a checklist in its pocket, but it feels like it might have thought about having one, decided not to, and be giving you a wink about it as you follow it along. The vibe I got was very Knives Out (2019) x Clue (1985) x Agatha Christie (I can't say which novel without giving away more than I should).

Zebedee Wyckham (yes) has been invited to his ancestral home by its current owner, a first cousin whom he hardly knows; the other guests include his brother and sister-in-law and another first cousin, none of whom he likes. Completing the party are one more further-distant cousin and the homeowner's secretary, who turns out to be someone with whom Zebedee has A Complicated Past. When I tell you the book opens with Zebedee being driven to the house by a chauffeur who barely speaks to him, and the first thing that happens when he gets there is that a young woman in a white peignoir comes running from the house and disappears, sobbing, into the grounds—you can tell exactly what kind of story this is going to be, and it doesn't disappoint.

Amusingly, Zebedee knows what kind of story he's living in, and that's lucky for him. The Gothic horror and mystery of it all was solid; I think I picked up all but one of the hints the book laid down at the times I was meant to get them, so I had the satisfying experience of being with or as much as one step ahead of the characters solving the mystery. (And the one I missed was carefully constructed to be missable!) The romance—for of course Zebedee and Gideon, the Complicated Past haver, reunite and make efforts to Uncomplicate their Present—worked for me but I think it worked in spite of the in medias res of it all rather than because of it. The exposition came in dribs and drabs because of course the POV character already knows what he already knows and doesn't need to infodump for the reader; in fact knowing as he does that he's in a Gothic horror mystery romance, naturally he wouldn't, but rather would leave bread crumbs for us to discover in our own time. Still, though. A reader reading something like Dear God, it was Gideon, who probably hadn't forgiven Zeb, nor should he have been expected to can be excused for thinking "forgiven him for what?!!?" I know that's the point. I'm just saying.

I counted one thing mentioned earlyish that didn't pay off as much as I'd have liked (it wasn't just left completely hanging, but the wrapup in the epilogue was less than I'd hoped for) and, conversely, one payoff-type event that I didn't think had had sufficient groundwork laid for it (and even that's not, like, the thing in whichever Hitchhiker's book it is where Arthur Dent is reading a novel where the hero dies of thirst and he has to slog back through the book to find that they did in fact mention some trouble with the plumbing in chapter 2; there's more setup than that, just not as much as I'd have liked). In a book this complex, that's not a bad ratio!

Prequel pls?

A+ would recommend.

arc from NetGalley

Unfortunately this reading experience was very similar to the last arc I read: not my favorite showing from a favorite author. Charles's signature humor and flawed-but-lovable characters were very much on display here, but I wasn't that taken with overall the story.

Let's start with the good stuff. I really did love our hero, Zeb. The portrayal of his ADHD and the subsequent struggles that came with it were excellent, and it was a constant in the story without it being obnoxious. He was far from perfect, but he always strove to be good and to be true to his morals. It took a bit for me to warm up to his romance with Gideon (more on that later) but they really were a classic K.J. Charles couple, which is to say very fun and something to root for. The overall pacing was good and didn't become repetitive or tedious, even though the setting was just the one location.

However, there were some bumps for me that prevent me from giving this a higher rating. It was a bit difficult to orient things at the beginning of the book. The time period wasn't exactly clear until waaay later (at least to me), and I definitely spent too much brain power picking up on small details in order to nail down a date range. We meet Gideon right away and it's clear that he has some sort of history with Zeb, but without any idea what that might be there was no emotional impact or investment. Until that backstory was explained, I just really didn't know what to do with Gideon's role in the story.

The mystery itself was kind of intriguing, but I felt that there weren't enough clues/hints given to the reader for me to figure out was really going on, and I really just had to wait for things to be revealed at the end. (HOWEVER, I don't read a ton of mystery novels and I usually don't try to guess at twists and such, so maybe that's a personal skill issue ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) I also found the ending to be rather anticlimactic; we didn't get to experience justice meted out on the guilty parties, and I really expected more drama. (Also, the epilogue fast-forwarded to modern times reflecting back, and made mentions to Buzzfeed and Goodreads, which was just odd.)

Finally, there was a bit about reparations and how the estate was built on slave labor, and how Zeb wanted to help correct that legacy. Which is all good stuff, obviously!...but it felt forced and unnatural. I hate to critique this point because it’s something that should be addressed more and there's nothing bad about drawing attention to it, but I can’t lie and say that it flowed well in this particular story. I think it would have fit better if it had been a bigger element to the narrative, instead of referenced only a couple of times.

There were a couple of typos in the text, which weren't unexpected in an arc and didn't detract too much from the book. I will still seek out K.J. Charles's work, but I'm bummed that this one didn't quite meet my expectations.

Zebedee Wyckham, or Zeb, is invited to his family’s gothic Dartmoor mansion and, against his better judgement, he decides to attend. When he arrives at the remote manor, he is dismayed to discover other family members already there – his scheming brother and his wife, his sarcastic cousin and even his former lover, Gideon. Surrounded by unfriendly faces, he then finds out that the purpose of the gathering is to determine which one of the men in the family will marry Jessamine, a young woman taken in by the family, and inherit the family fortune with it.
With the infamous Dartmoor fog rolling in, there is no safe way to leave. Zeb must stay and reckon with his vicious family, his angry ex, and the ghostly monk roaming the halls late at night.

All of Us Murderers is an entertaining “locked room” mystery set in the early 1900s in Dartmoor, England. Zeb is the family ne’er-do-well with a string of personal and professional failures behind him, and yet he is the only likeable character in the Wyckham family. He naively accepts the invitation, happily unaware of his relative’s motives. Years of competition for status and the family fortune has set the family members firmly against each other, and they are all quite malicious and unkind as they attempt to outmaneuver each other. While the family wrangle over the money, ghostly visitations unsettle the guests, writing their secrets on the walls and threatening their doom. It is pure gothic terror and done extremely well.

There is also a romantic subplot involving Zeb and Gideon, harkening back to an era when threats of being a “sodomite” could ruin a man’s life and land him in prison. It is extremely spicy! I am not really a romance reader and prefer closed door, which this emphatically is not. Just be aware of that.

Fans of gothic murder mysteries with queer representation will enjoy. Thanks to Poisoned Pen for my copy to read.

WOW.

Look, I love KJ Charles' fluffy romances (fluffy here means there is a moderate number of murders and other criminal shenanigans included, mind you) but I think I love her the best when she straddles the line between romance and other genres (mystery, horror) because at that moment the playground gets much more interesting.

The over-the-topness of Gothic fiction allows KJC to fill the novel to the brink with incredibly nasty people and their interactions are so much fun. Our MCs are of course the only vestige of human decency in the house. This is a second chance romance which I usually don't go for but Zeb and Gideon are so good for each other, they communicate well and the reasons for the first break up are understandable while not making the reunion impossible. Zeb is a tremendously well done character. I liked reading the novel through his POV.

Also, this is so meta, I love it. The allusions to the Gothic and Zeb's awareness of genre conventions are breaking the fourth wall and winking at the reader constantly. I think this book is a fine representative of the very niche subgenre "two reasonable people stumble into a Gothic novel, are distinctly unimpressed and would like to go home if it is all the same to you, thank you very much."

The only objection I can possibly have is that the atmosphere could have been milked a bit more, the rationality of the MCs kind of prevented me to get really terrified of the house itself.

I want to start by thanking the publisher and author for the ARC that I received in exchange for this honest review.

This review may contain mild spoilers for the book, so consider yourself warned.

This book could've been written especially for me. I am a big KJ Charles fan, having discovered her earlier this year and since then reading 21 of her books (this is 22). I am also a huge fan of the gothic genre, and a member of the LGBTQ+ community. That being said, this book should be taken on its own merit, and it is in a word fantastic!!!

If you love Gothic literature you have come to the right place! This has it all; a grim manor house, a family curse, ghosts, stone circles, murder, and (shudder) spiders. All the tropes are present but it never feels derivative. The plot is well crafted and self aware, feeling like a love letter to the gothic genre with a few playful jibes thrown in for good measure. By the time you find out what is actually going on you’re invested in the characters and it goes at a breath taking pace.

This leads me on to my next point, characters. One of the things that KJ Charles does so well in all the books of hers I have read is creating believable characters that you can relate to and love. Not only her lead characters, even the smaller roles get developed and can leap off the page.
All of Us Murderers is no different, Zeb is a wonderful lead character. We see what it’s like for him living with ADHD in a time when it was not understood and how hard that is for him. We also see him being brutally treated by his family. Right from the start he shows a great strength of character, and as the book progresses he becomes even stronger and more sure of himself. He overcomes many fears, and stands up for what is right with grace and courage. This character leveled up the material for me. It became something healing, Zeb's journey touched something inside of me, and I hope it does the same for you.

It took me longer to warm to Gideon, which makes sense as this story is told entirely from Zeb’s perspective. We only get to see the deeper parts of Gideon as things progress between them. The initial impression of him is dark and moody, but there is so much more beneath the surface that comes out in time.

The romance elements are not as prominent here as in some KJ’s books, but it was the perfect amount for this book. The tone of this one is dark but the mix we get is a perfect balance to the tension and suspense. It gives you time to breathe, but not so much that it derails the thrills.

I loved that there was painful history between these two characters. This kind of trouble always lays the groundwork for rich drama. But what makes this relationship leap off the page is that they are able to navigate this past trauma with maturity. They show what a healthy relationship can look like by showing us it’s not how you get into the trouble, it’s how you get out of it! It takes them a while but they get there. Seeing this character growth makes the book all the more satisfying.

The supporting characters are also well drawn. The Wyckham family are a den of vipers and that would’ve been enough to fuel the story. Luckily KJ takes gives us more, taking the time to develop these characters to the point that I almost felt sympathy for some of them (special mention Elise). The book also get's you thinking, who are real villains here? It’s not so cut and dry once the true motives come out.

I would be remiss if I didn't mention the setting itself. Lackady house is a character in its own right. Located in the isolated Dartmoor; surrounded by treacherous mist, filled with secret passages, mysterious follies, and my dream library! I was totally engrossed in the location and it added so much to the atmosphere.

I highly recommend this book, It is one I intend to read again and again, and I hope you get as much joy out of it as I did.

Another great book by KJ Charles.

Classic Edwardian country house setting, some truly awful family members, various murders, and a couple of cute lovers. Our main character Zeb is refreshingly honest and well-intentioned despite the rest of his dreadful family, and has a sweet second-time-around romance with Gideon. The different whodunnits kept me guessing for most of the book.

This was a fun read! Thanks to NetGalley for an ARC.

an excellent story that I highly recommend. The story was tightly paced and kept me engaged the entire time.
I appreciate how KJ in showcased how the main character’s ADHD symptoms were perceived by the people in his life and how he managed them. It was well incorporated into the story.

It's a great story, combining elements of locked room murder mystery, gothic horror and some romance.
The writing is immersive, the mystery and the twists are satisfying and the atmosphere chilling.
The relationships dynamics are really interesting, either between the awful family members or between the ex lovers finally reunited. The drama felt real and the second chance at love is truly earned.
I also loved the few spicy scenes, they served the story and were very well written.
Thank you Poisoned Pen Press for this ARC!

I loved this gothic mystery romance so much! Foggy moorland with a walled in creepy mansion... buy me a ticket and I'm on the next train. The characters were lovely and the ADHD representation was really well done. I've enjoyed KJ Charles' previous works and this one was just as good as their other historical romances.

This was thoroughly addicting and had me continuously turning the page (or poking my kindle) to find out what happens next. Delightfully gothic and creepy AF, I had a great time with this book even with low level dread as my companion. The characters were vibrant and well developed, the setting suitably immersive and the plot twists were a twisting.

Sadly the epilogue and the ending felt a little rushed but other than that this was a wild ride.

Thank you Netgalley and Poisoned Pen Press for eARC and as I am freezing my butt off here because winter is giving it a red hot go, I have left an honest review

An incredibly atmospheric countryside mystery that sets you into an enclosed location as questions unfold, relationships unravel, and hysteria peaks until the final reveals. A gay relationship rekindles amidst it all.
