All of Us Murderers
A remote country house. An Edwardian family at war with one another. An inheritance up for grabs. The ingredients for a murder mystery are all here, and charmingly cooked up with a dollop of spicy queer romance in KJ Charles’ latest outing.
Zeb Wyckham has reluctantly agreed to visit his uncle’s Gothic manor. He’s not prepared, however, to find his dysfunctional family are also attending, or that his ex-lover Gideon Grey is there, working for Zeb’s uncle. Worse, they have all been brought together for a reason. Uncle Wynn is determined to marry off his ward to one of the men in the family and then choose that person to be the heir to the family fortune. The Wyckhams are a greedy lot. This won’t end well.
All of Us Murderers is a fast-paced, highly entertaining read. Charles makes the most of her gothic location in a story filled with monkish ghosts, disappearing messages, rolling mists, and misunderstandings. The family fortune has been built on the success of Zeb grandfather, Walter Wyckham’s series of highly successful gothic horror novels. Now it seems like someone is trying turn fiction into reality. While the tension builds, the romance between Zeb and Gideon reignites. But try as they might, they just can’t escape from Lackaday House. It seems the two heroes are the only people in the house who are who they say they are, but will they live to find their happy ending? You’ll have to read it to find out.
