Reviews with content warning for Fire/Fire injury - Everyone In My Family Has Killed Someone

This was a really fun book! It breaks the fourth wall fully calling out murder mystery tropes & directly addressing the reader with spoilers etc.
Although I really loved it & laughed out loud several times. There was just something missing from it to make it an all time favorite. But would definitely recommend!

I figured out the villain about half way through but there were still lots of things I didn’t figure out.

A Family Reunion Like No Other

Ernie Cunningham writes books about how to write crime novels. When he gets an email from his aunt saying he must attend a family reunion at a remote sky resort, he is somewhat nervous because, as the tite suggests, everyone in the Cunninghams are no ordinary family.

Soon after arrival, the resort is cut off to vehicles in a heavy snow storm. Ernie 's worst fears begin materialise when a body is found ìn the snow the day after and skills of his day job are called in to action.

This isn't Cosy Crime by any means, it is very dark and twisted, but I enjoyed it and will probably read the next one in the series.

3.5

I think I've officially determined I'm not a mystery/thriller person — they just don't do it for me. This was objectively a good time, with a really fun, interesting story and fantastic characters, but I simply didn't care for the first half of it. The end definitely made up for it, but not enough to discount the fact that I seriously considered giving up halfway in simply for the fact that it wasn't for me. I'm glad I've made up my mind, though, because it means I can stop trying to force it with mysteries — the rest of you can have at it though.
