Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone

by Benjamin Stevenson · 2022

Ern Cunningham, a self‑taught sleuth and crime‑fiction aficionado, reluctantly returns to a family reunion at a remote mountain resort. The Cunninghams are notorious: every member has, at some point, taken a life. When a body is discovered frozen on the slopes—its airways clogged with ash despite no burns—Ern knows the death is no accident. With the local police overwhelmed and his brother, a convicted murderer, about to be released, Ern must apply the rules of classic whodunits to a modern, snow‑bound crime scene. As secrets surface and the family’s dark ledger grows, he confronts the unsettling truth that the killer may be closer than anyone expects.
