About this listen

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

My brother

My stepsister

My wife

My father

My mother

My sister-in-law

Just Okay

With all the great reviews of a fun story and good humor, I was really looking forward to this book. I found little to no humor, a long-winded story, and in general, felt disappointed. It was ok but I won't be seeking any further books from this author.

The story is brilliant.

Loved this story! An atypical typical murder mystery. Did not love the narration unfortunately. This one would be better to read vs listen but highly recommend.

Cunning story, great audio narration, thoroughly enjoyed

The title hooked me and I was not disappointed. There is a surprise, a twist, an unfolding, in every chapter, and each one is fascinating. I also appreciated that despite the fair number of characters, it took no effort to recall and follow each, as I find sometime happens in listening to audiobooks. But this author knew his format and wrote well for the audiobook genre. I appreciated the reader’s accent and enjoyed the Australian setting. (I want to know whether my friend in Melbourne knows about this author!). My next audiobook purchase will be Benjamin Stevenson. I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook.

Enjoyed! Would read more from this author

Witty, creative, and captivating. This was entertaining in a weirdly fun way. Not overly violent or smutty, which I appreciate.

Excellent mystery

Great story with twists and turns, with a great framework of being from the point of view of an author who writes books about writing mysteries.
