EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY HAS KILLED SOMEONE by Stevenson Benjamin was a great way to start the year. I discovered it because I was looking for a book that broke the fourth wall and this book does that in a truly funny and original way. One of the best parts of this book is that the author is constantly interacting with the reader. If you’re a person who uses audio books, I highly recommend the audio version. He makes sure that even those of us who tend to let our minds wander during audio book readings are brought back with a little laugh. He is also constantly giving summaries so you’re never lost about what is going on within the book. It is definitely a new spin on the detective novel. The title is a spoiler but in the best way as you try to figure out how all of these wonderful family members committed murder.
