Enjoyed this but getting a little weary of the asides, especially at the beginning. It's really jarring for an audiobook (that and the lists).

Just as fun as the first one, also not quite as traumatic for me!

I had a great time reading it, I loved the setting and the mystery. I thought the narration style might get boring in the sequel, since it's pretty much the same as in the first book, but I still enjoyed it.

I loved this sequel even more than the first book! If you haven't read Everyone in my Family has Killed Someone, the first novel in the Ernest Cunningham series, I highly recommend that you do. 

Stevenson crafted an excellent story that made me both burst out laughing and gasp from suspense on multiple occasions. Stevenson's unique protagonist as a writer who writes about how to write mystery novels is a humorous and charming aspect of the book.

I couldn't put this book down! I really loved how all of these new characters were introduced. They all were fleshed out well and were able to make sense without feeling like the story is just a mess of strangers with confusing backstories. I did feel like the mystery was more confusing this time, so honestly I didn't solve much on my own. The denouement did have to do some heavy lifting to get me to understand everything, but I still enjoyed it. I look forward to what comes next from Benjamin Stevenson!

A bit too caught up in the gimmick, though the mystery itself is not bad.
