Coming Spring 2027
For fans of Benjamin Stevenson and How to Solve Your Own Murder comes a wickedly fun whodunnit following a dysfunctional family of criminals who discover a fresh corpse no one cops to killing. With suspicions flying, it’s only a matter of time before one last, spectacular crime brings the whole clan crashing down…
In this family of criminals, everyone is a suspect.
Emmeline Pendleton has been dealing with criminals her whole life. Or, as she calls them, her family. For generations, the Pendleton family has proudly produced a long line of thieves, forgers, grifters, and killers who live by three simple rules: no secrets amongst family, no harming one another, and absolutely no committing crimes on the family estate.
When Em hosts a celebration for their grandfather’s 90th birthday, the family’s grand estate fills up with relatives. But even Em’s most meticulous planning spreadsheets couldn’t account for a dead body crashing the party.
Although each person claims not to be involved, Em is certain the culprit is at this party, and their secrets could endanger everyone. Em will do anything to protect her family, but the killer isn’t the only one with something to hide, and the secrets she uncovers may tear the Pendletons apart forever.
