Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone: A Novel by Benjamin Stevenson - A Review

I ended up not finishing this audiobook and rated it 2 stars.

The premise was clever. A family gathering filled with people who have all, in one way or another, killed someone sounded like the setup for a fun and unique mystery.

I had heard so many people describe this book as hilarious, and I went into it expecting a lot of humor. Unfortunately, I just didn't find it funny. While I can see how some readers would enjoy the humor and unconventional approach, it simply didn't work for me.

I also struggled to stay invested in both the mystery and the characters. The pacing felt uneven, and I found my attention wandering more often than not. This is one of those books that I can appreciate for its originality, but ultimately it just wasn't my cup of tea.

This may be a great fit for readers who enjoy meta mysteries and narrators who directly address the audience, but it wasn't the right match for me.
