Reviews with content warning for Suicide - Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone

I absolutely loved this book!
Super fast paced, this book was written in a way that was intriguing and kept me guessing right until the end.
The characters had so much depth to them and their backstories made the story even bigger and better.

I loved this book! It was written so well! When is the last time you found a murder mysterious actually funny? My favorite thing about this was the main character constantly breaking the fourth wall and talking to us directly.

When I saw the book described as Knives Out meets Clue, I was sold. And I was not disappointed. The book does a wonderful job of breaking the 4th wall as the main character, Ernest, talks directly to the reader/listener while talking about a family reunion gone awry - and the family history that lead up to that moment.

This was my first time reading a murder mystery. The narration tone/voice that the writer used would have been better suited as an audiobook choice for me; at times I was quite confused by Ern’s side conversations/narrations. The plot wasn’t terrible, and although I hadn’t figured out all of the details, I did figure out the main murderer. I recognize that this genre is meant to lead you in all directions with dates, times, locations, and an unruly number of details, but at times I just found this extremely slow to read through and confusing to picture for myself… putting the book into “mark as DNF” territory. I’m glad to be able to say I finished this one, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a struggle at times!
