I'm a sucker for a mystery. Engaging enough without having to think about it too much. Main character wasn't really my cup of tea but not so annoying I couldn't get through it.

A unique murder mystery with a dark humor twist. I highly enjoyed the melancholy narrator's tone as he uncoiled the web of knotted lies that started out as a standard family reunion.
