Seven Reasons to Murder Your Dinner Guests is K.J. Whittle’s debut novel, published in 2025. The book sets up a classic mystery scenario with a twist of dark comedy: a dinner party where every guest has a reason to kill, and the reader’s job is to figure out who will act first and why.
The confined setting keeps the tension focused and the pace moving. As the evening progresses, each character’s secrets come out, and the reasons for murder multiply. The title promises a certain playfulness with the genre, and the book delivers on that promise. It is a good choice for mystery readers who enjoy closed-circle settings and a dry sense of humor alongside their suspense.
