Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone by Benjamin Stevenson

 ⭐⭐⭐⭐✩

Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone by Benjamin Stevenson - 384 pages

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

My brother

My stepsister

My wife

My father

My mother

My sister-in-law

My uncle

My stepfather

My aunt

Me

This book is like a typical "Who Done It", think Agatha Christie.  The difference is in the way this book is narrated.  It's from Ern's point of view and he narrates it as he's telling his story after the fact and gives spoilers in advance (the pages on which someone dies, etc), however, this doesn't ruin the book at all.  I'll admit that although this book wasn't my favorite but overall it was a good book.  Someone who is into murder mysteries may really like this book.
