Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone by Benjamin Stevenson
4.0
A classic whodunit format really twisted to fit the author's intentions, especially with the frequent 4th wall breaks. This book has a great winter setting, turning up the intensity of everything a few notches.
The large cast of characters was handled well, and I was extremely surprised to see that the themes of this book so heavily dealt with anti-police issues. The police in this book repeatedly harm this family, in a way that really shows manipulation of power very well. The uncovering of the monsters people become when manipulated by people in power is well represented. This book was genuinely sad at moments, this book also got me grossed out more than some other actually gorey books have before.
An extremely enjoyable book with enough surprise twists that at least one of them should get you. A couple definitely got me.
