Everyone In My Family Has Killed Someone by Benjamin Stevenson

funny mysterious fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot

4.0

This is my first time reading a modern mystery. I mostly go for Christie and Poe when I want a murder mystery. I liked the main character having a personal stake in the mystery. A lot of the tension comes from the character relationships than the actual murder. It’s funny and self aware. I loved that the characters are not shallow. Even if you want to hate them or make fun of them, the author doesn’t let you. He treats his characters with sensitivity. I’ll be honest I lost the plot at some places. But by the end everything was very clear. A satisfying end.
