Synopsis

Editorial Reviews Review “A jaunty and clever mystery with unexpected twists. Absolutely not to be missed.” - Karin Slaughter “I absolutely loved it. Utterly original, hugely entertaining, and a must-read for every fan of the mystery genre. What an exceptionally fresh, smart, funny book—I’ve never read anything like this before.” - Jane Harper “I absolutely LOVED it. It’s so engaging, entertaining and charming. I don’t think I’ve ever read anything like it. It was SUCH a fun read.”  - Marian Keyes "Some readers are drawn to mysteries because they love the formula and logic—this one’s for them. ... This book and its author are cleverer than you and want you to know it." - Kirkus Reviews “Exceptionally clever and amusing. ... Stevenson carries off this tour de force with all the aplomb of a master magician who conducts his tricks in plain view.” - Publishers Weekly (starred review) “A witty twist on classic whodunits… Stevenson not only 'plays fair,' he plays the mystery game very, very well.” - Washington Post “As fresh and zingy as a salted lime. It’s Knives Out meets Richard Osman. Or Dexter by way of Agatha Christie. Or Schitt’s Creek with a body count. It’s also the most luxuriantly enjoyable novel I’ve read in years. And years. I began toting my copy around town so that strangers would ask me about it—who could resist that title? I only wish there were more members of the Cunningham clan, so that this raucous, matchlessly entertaining mystery could go on longer. Benjamin Stevenson, I’ve got a lot to learn from you.” - AJ Finn "Clever." - USA Today "Imaginative" - AARP Magazine "Exceedingly clever... Read it once for fun and then again to see how it was done.” - CriminalElement.com “Resplendent in its sophisticated wit, characters with myriad motives and adroit plotting that indulges in clichés but manages to avoid the predictable. Stevenson also does the near impossible: he mixes the lightness of a cozy with the intensity of a hard-boiled thriller.” - Shelf Awareness "An ingenious and hilarious meta-murder mystery." - Sunday Times (London), best crime of the year About the Author Benjamin Stevenson is an award-winning stand-up comedian and the USA Today bestselling author of the globally popular Ernest Cunning­ham Mysteries, including Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone , which is currently being adapted into a major television series, and Everyone on This Train Is a Suspect .
