Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone cover


Synopsis:

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


Review:

Ever start a book and just KNOW immediately that THIS is a book truly worth reading? Yup, add this one to your list! Stevenson draws the reader in  from the first paragraph and never really let's them go- even if you put the book down, you feel it calling, wanting you to know the truths and lies, to discover which lies have resulted in the murder and if there will be consequences as trths emerge. This book holds you to the very end, but to give more away ruins the surprise twists of this plot driven cozy thriller! This isn't one to be missed!
