A truly dysfunctional family with their fair share of drama and skeletons in the closet. 
There’s no one thing that kept me from loving this book, I think it was just a little too convoluted and “wtf is even happening”  for my taste. I set it down about halfway through and read an entirely different 5-book series before coming back to it. The plot was interesting and the mystery intrigued me enough that I came back to finish it.

 I know everyone comps mystery books to Knives Out, but truly Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone is the closest thing to it.I might even say it’s a better experience than Knives Out. Even though it’s a  labeled as a pure mystery, there were some thriller-esque aspects to it that kind of made it more of a genre blend to me. All in all, an interesting and compelling time! I’d call this a popcorn read if there ever was. I read this physically and via audio w/Hoopla.  Now to read the second book!
