Knives Out and Clue meet Agatha Christie and The Thursday Murder Club in this "utterly original" (Jane Harper), "not to be missed" (Karin Slaughter), fiendishly clever blend of classic and modern murder mystery.

"A witty twist on classic whodunits... Stevenson not only 'plays fair,' he plays the mystery game very, very well." -- Maureen Corrigan, Washington Post

Everyone in my family has killed someone. Some of us, the high achievers, have killed more than once. I'm not trying to be dramatic, but it is the truth. Some of us are good, others are bad, and some just unfortunate.

I'm Ernest Cunningham. Call me Ern or Ernie. I wish I'd killed whoever decided our family reunion should be at a ski resort, but it's a little more complicated than that.

Have I killed someone? Yes. I have.

Who was it?

Let's get started.

EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY HAS KILLED SOMEONE

Rezension

"A witty twist on classic whodunits... Stevenson not only 'plays fair,' he plays the mystery game very, very well." - Washington Post

"Exceptionally clever and amusing. ... Stevenson carries off this tour de force with all the aplomb of a master magician who conducts his tricks in plain view." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"I absolutely loved it. Utterly original, hugely entertaining, and a must-read for every fan of the mystery genre. What an exceptionally fresh, smart, funny book-I've never read anything like this before." - Jane Harper

"As fresh and zingy as a salted lime. It's Knives Out meets Richard Osman. Or Dexter by way of Agatha Christie. Or Schitt's Creek with a body count. It's also the most luxuriantly enjoyable novel I've read in years. And years. I began toting my copy around town so that strangers would ask me about it-who could resist that title? I only wish there were more members of the Cunningham clan, so that this raucous, matchlessly entertaining mystery could go on longer. Benjamin Stevenson, I've got a lot to learn from you." - AJ Finn

"A jaunty and clever mystery with unexpected twists. Absolutely not to be missed." - Karin Slaughter

"Clever." - USA Today

"I absolutely LOVED it. It's so engaging, entertaining and charming. I don't think I've ever read anything like it. It was SUCH a fun read." - Marian Keyes

"An ingenious and hilarious meta-murder mystery." - Sunday Times (London), best crime of the year

"Resplendent in its sophisticated wit, characters with myriad motives and adroit plotting that indulges in clichés but manages to avoid the predictable. Stevenson also does the near impossible: he mixes the lightness of a cozy with the intensity of a hard-boiled thriller." - Shelf Awareness

"Exceedingly clever...

"Imaginative" - AARP Magazine

"Some readers are drawn to mysteries because they love the formula and logic-this one's for them. ... This book and its author are cleverer than you and want you to know it." - Kirkus Reviews

    Chekhov's gun at its finest

    A suspenseful yet cosy crime novel. Every detail matters, but if you lose track of them, don't worry, there are recaps throughout the book. Loved it, bought the sequel, loved that, too.

    All in the family.....including murders!

    I have a soft spot for dysfunctional family crime stories, and Benjamin Stevenson did not disappoint with *Everybody in My Family Has Killed Somebody*. What I really enjoyed was how the chapters were split – each family member essentially got their "own chapter," which made it so much easier to keep track of all the characters. Normally, in stories with large casts, I end up confused by all the names, but here I remembered who was who and, more importantly, *who they killed*. Sadly, I could not give the story all 5 stars. What held the book back slightly for me was the pacing. The beginning felt a bit slow, and then, suddenly in the middle it was like:, bam, bam, bam – event after event. The story’s back-and-forth between past events and the present also felt a little *too* quick at times. It made it a little hard for me to fully settle into the rhythm of the narrative. Overall, it was a really good crime story. The family dynamics were *on point* – the kind of crazy, dysfunctional family setting that I love in books. Stevenson wrote some well-rounded characters, and each of them got their moment to shine with real depth behind their actions. And that ending? Surprising and quite explosive – exactly what you want from a story like this! I’ll definitely be reading the sequel.
