Everyone This Christmas Has a Secret
by Benjamin Stevenson
Everyone may have a secret this Christmas, but it is no secret of mine that Ernest Cunningham is my new favorite sleuth. This time around, his ex-wife is accused of murdering her new husband and there is a whole new host of quirky suspects to interrogate as Ernest is fairly certain the real killer is still at large.
Artfully crafted into 24 chapters like an advent calendar, this novella/Christmas special is a treat for fans who are already familiar with our Australian detective. It could feasibly work as a standalone, but I would highly recommending reading at least one of the first two books in the series so the reader is well acquainted with Ernest, how he goes about solving murders, and knowing that he really does give the reader all the information he has. What I absolutely love about these books is that anyone can solve them with the right ingenuity. I especially love a mystery that has all the clues and still leaves me stumped until the big reveal and I must admit, this one finally left me pleasantly surprised!
Perfect for a single sitting mystery and a welcome addition to the series that is not to be skipped.
Thank you to NetGalley, Benjamin Stevenson, and Mariner Books for an advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review.
