I wouldn't say I'm a mystery junkie, but I do love a well-crafted tale, and since reading "The Mystery of Mrs. Christie" by Marie Benedict I've added more and more mysteries to my TBR. Of the books I've read, "Everyone In My Family Has Killed Someone" is definitely the most creative, and one of the most enjoyable. Author Benjamin Stevenson breaks down the fourth wall (is that a thing in literature?) in extremely clever ways that telegraph what is to come without spoiling the plot. Despite all the bread crumbs, the reveal at the end is still extremely satisfying. If you like this book, and want something with an even lighter tone, may I suggest "Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers" by Jesse Q. Sutanto. In any case, brilliant work here by Stevenson. I'm on board for the "golden age" of Australian crime fiction. 4.5 stars.
