STEVENSON đź‘Ź NEVER đź‘Ź MISSES đź‘Ź
Each installment of The Ernest Cunningham Mysteries has been the easiest 5 stars for me and Everyone This Christmas Has a Secret is no different. Intriguing, quick-witted, genuinely hilarious and 'LOL' worthy, this novella is the perfect holiday mystery. I hesitate to say much because I think it's best to go into these books/the whole series blind for the best experience.

In keeping with an accidental theme—my first case involved a full stop, my second a comma—this may well be the first mystery ever solved by Comic Sans.
Some detectives, perhaps, solve crimes like fireworks: one lit fuse exploding everything at once. I solve crimes like a ten-car rear-ender on a bumper-to-bumper freeway: one car slams into another, and another and another, all the way up the line.
