Murder mystery mixed with dry, sarcastic humor and fourth wall breaks from the MC 'author' galore? Sign me up. The main character/narrator/'author', Ernest Cunningham, provides the reader with an outline of what to and what not to expect from his story and promises to 'play fair' and be truthful throughout the story - which he absolutely does, just not always in the way that is expected. The way the story came together was brilliant and as more was revealed about the Cunningham family, I just wanted to dive even deeper.

One thing that I really appreciated about the story was that while the title is 100% accurate - it didn't mean they were all outright murderers. About Lucy - "The title of this book is true: everyone in my family has killed someone. It's just that not all of them killed other people." and Audrey, Ernest's mother - "You might think that my mother didn't kill anybody. You'd have a point...Perhaps I could make the argument that a locked care on a baking summer's day was the end of Jeremy Cunningham. That my mother was responsible for that life and birthing another: one who dreamed of choking." Things finally came back around to Ernest and his part in killing someone in a similar fashion to his brother Michael at the start of the story - a truer representation of the world 'kill,' depending on how you believe it played out.

Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone is not only hilarious, with the dry humor and fourth wall breaks that made me quite literally LOL, but it also makes you look at family and what it actually means. I can't wait to step back into Ernest's narration with Stevenson's next book in the series Everyone on This Train is a Suspect.
