The brilliance of this book took me by surprise! I went into it knowing next to nothing about the plot. The author’s voice is distinctive, hilarious, and charming. That is why the depth of the plot, the moral exploration of killing versus murder, and the dynamic characters took me by surprise— I grossly underestimated the author’s ability to make light of an intriguing, dark, and morally grey mystery. All of the little pieces of this puzzle came together in one of the most satisfying denouements I have ever read!! Everyone In My Family Has Killed Someone kept surprising me until literally the last few minutes. I cannot wait to continue reading Benjamin Stevenson’s work, and I hope that Barton Welch continues narrating!!

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.
