Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone has to be one of my favorite audiobooks. The narrator was amazing, and this writing style translated so well to the spoken word.

Ernest (Ernie) Cunningham is going to a family reunion in an isolated location in the middle of winter. Nothing could go wrong... right? Well, with the full cast of Cunningham characters and their sordid pasts, Ernie knows something terrible is bound to happen. At the beginning of the book, Ernie promises to be a fair and reliable narrator, and he does keep that promise as he follows Ronald Knox's 10 Commandments of Detective Fiction along with his own "rules."

The dark humor and witty banter of this novel kept me at rapt attention as I devoured this novel. The author winks at readers through the page without quite breaking the fourth wall, and I loved reading into every single "truth" laid out by the characters. Fans of the show Sherlock will likely eat this up.

If you haven't read this yet and enjoy audiobooks, I highly recommend you read it through that format.

Such a fun read! I loved how the author played with crime tropes and breaking the fourth wall to address the reader directly.  Even the use of chapter headings was entertaining! A must for crime fiction fans!
