* 2022's most original and darkly funny murder mystery from award-winning comedian Benjamin Stevenson *


I was dreading the Cunningham family reunion even before the first murder. Before the storm stranded us at the mountain resort.

The thing is, us Cunninghams don't really get along.

We've only got one thing in common: we've all killed someone.

My brother, my step-sister, my wife, my father, my mother, my sister-in-law, my uncle, my step-father, my aunt. Even me.

When they find the first body in the snow, it's clear that only a Cunningham could have committed the crime - and it's up to me to prove it.

There are plenty of killers in my family. But only one murderer . . .

Critic reviews

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)
An ingenious and hilarious meta-murder mystery . . . strangely moving
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 (A.J. Finn)
The best thing I've read in ages. I absolutely loved it. Whip-smart, twisted, funny, and constructed with the pinpoint precision of a bloodthirsty watchmaker. (Stuart MacBride)
This book had me hooked from the first chapter. Deliciously funny, dark and intriguing (Alex Pavesi)
I absolutely loved it. It's so engaging, entertaining and charming. I don't think I've ever read anything like it, and it's such a fun read (Marian Keyes)
Clever, unexpected, and not to be missed (Karin Slaughter)
An exceptionally clever and amusing mystery. Stevenson carries off this tour de force with all the aplomb of a master magician who conducts his tricks in plain view
This was such a clever, compelling read. It's a must for anyone who loves the rules of crime fiction, but it still packs plenty of twists. It had me laughing and turning the pages in equal measure. Bravo Mr Stevenson! (S.J. Bennett)
An engrossing whodunnit, with an ingenious twist on the classic crime genre. The type of book you finish and want to immediately read again (Kyle Perry)

It took me a while to get into this book. However, once I did it was pretty good. I guessed some of the ending, but was surprised by the protagonist(s). It's more fun than the average crime novel.

Pretty good

I loved this audiobook. Really enjoyed how the narrator was taking directly to the reader/listener. Cleverly formulaic without giving anything away. Was sad when it ended.

A really enjoyable tale

I have to say I didn't expect to like it so much! Very different than anything I've read, it is a clever murder mystery with a whimsy. The author/narrator gives hints but not spoils. I really enjoyed how each chapter is dedicated to each of the persons involved, while still continuing with the plot. A very refreshing listen, I want more like it!

I need more like this!

Unfortunately the narrative didn’t grip me and by the end I was just listening for the sake of finishing vs listening because I was keen to find out the resolution.

Found it a bit lacking

I guessed right in the end :D. Liked the voice in this one. Something is wrong with chapter 36… it cut of.

Great read and really something different
