I really enjoyed this Christmas mystery which included various Christmas traditions, such as Secret Santa and the Advent Calendar. Ernest Cunningham is called to help his ex-wife Erin, because she is a suspect in the murder of her lover. As Ern investigates, another murder happens.
I like how the author strings us along, breaking the 4th wall to include the reader in the case, and telling us we have all the clues to solve the murder. Ern investigates the foundation of Erin's lover, and all the former addicts he helped.
A clever and enjoyable mystery.

This was a quick fun read, but I didn’t enjoy it as much as the first book in the series. Still a solid fun cozy mystery.
A testament to Earnest that this is still a fun read in March.
These books are further proof that I am not cut out for detectiv-ing because I never solve them.

Can never get enough of this author. The writing is so fun: sarcastic wit, the breaking of the fourth wall - love it. The mysteries have just enough bread crumbs to give you a suspicion of who the murderer is, but enough twists and turns that you don't actually solve it (or at least I don't!)

Ernest is ready for the Holidays until his ex-wife calls him from prison; she's been accused of murdering her boyfriend. Ernest has a new book on his hands waiting for him to write it...
Short, to the point, fun, just what I needed.
