Ernest (Ernie) Cunningham is going to a family reunion in an isolated location in the middle of winter. Nothing could go wrong... right? Well, with the full cast of Cunningham characters and their sordid pasts, Ernie knows something terrible is bound to happen. At the beginning of the book, Ernie promises to be a fair and reliable narrator, and he does keep that promise as he follows Ronald Knox's 10 Commandments of Detective Fiction along with his own "rules."
The dark humor and witty banter of this novel kept me at rapt attention as I devoured this novel. The author winks at readers through the page without quite breaking the fourth wall, and I loved reading into every single "truth" laid out by the characters. Fans of the show Sherlock will likely eat this up.
If you haven't read this yet and enjoy audiobooks, I highly recommend you read it through that format.

The overall style is great, the reader is great, the little nods to audiobook listeners is very appreciated. Just, I don't know, someone needs to frown at the editor or the publisher for either not catching this or suggesting it was necessary.
