Audiobook Review: Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone
This was an intriguing and highly entertaining murder mystery, made even more engaging by the fact that the detective is also the one narrating the story.
The audiobook captured this unique perspective brilliantly, with the narrator skillfully breaking the fourth wall to explain the process and rules of writing a Golden Age murder mystery. Listening to the author discuss how he adhered to these classic guidelines added a fascinating layer, making it a rewarding experience to try and solve the mystery alongside the detective.
Stevenson masterfully drops clues throughout the story in a way that feels fair, yet still keeps the listener actively piecing everything together. The audio format added a heightened sense of immersion, as I found myself more deeply engaged in the process of unraveling the mystery.
