Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone

A family reunion at a remote mountain resort is already tense before a body is found in the snow. The relatives share old grievances, divided loyalties, and one unusually alarming fact: each has caused a death, though not always deliberately. The narrator approaches the new murder as both participant and guide, promising to explain the rules of the mystery while admitting that family history makes every clue personal. A storm limits escape, the suspect list is conveniently complete, and the familiar country-house structure is repeatedly tested by a voice that knows how such stories are supposed to work. The humor is dry rather than comforting. Beneath it sits a serious question about the stories families tell to classify guilt. The book invites close reading, but keeps its solution sealed behind a fair-play puzzle and a narrator who enjoys showing where attention should go.
