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.

Big warning for INJURY DETAIL. I skipped ahead a bit

This worked well as an audiobook, because the narrator's voice is already so strong. 

I did get a bit lost, kept forgetting Andrew exists.

I'd read it again just to note down who everyone in the family has killed.

Lots of dark humour, good to be reading an Aussie novel.

This was entertaining, and I made it ~70% in with like zero idea what I thought was going to happen in the end and I wasn't close to correct. I don't think I was a huge fan of the mystery in general-- it felt a bit too large and external to the family unit that it kind of felt random and out there. Not sure if I'll read the next one.
