Here we have a Christmas edition in the Ernest Cunningham Series and it’s a great one to pick up in time for the festive season.
It did take me a little bit to get use to Benjamin’s writing style, as it is unique, but I was soon hooked in. There are many characters and things get quite cryptic, so you do have to pay attention, but there is plenty of fun along the way to make this pretty easy to do.
I had no clue who the murderer was and when all was revealed, my first thought was that it was extremely clever.
I am still yet to read Everyone in my Family has Killed Someone and Everyone on this Train is a Suspect, but they are both sitting in my TBR and I shall get to them sooner than planned!
Thanks NetGalley, Penguin Random House and Benjamin Stevenson for this Digital ARC, in exchange for an honest review.
I loved this! It took me a minute to get used to the writing style (I’m not sure the last time I read a book where the characters breaks the fourth wall), but I throughly enjoyed it. This kept me guessing and I loved the journey of getting there.
This book was so much fun. It did take me a little while to get into it, but I really loved the sound effects for the advent calendar on the audio and the narrator for Ernest was great.
A perfect Christmas cozy mystery!
Ernest Cunningham has returned for a cozy Christmas mystery and while the third book in the series is markedly smaller than its predecessors, it’s still delivered with Stevenson’s usual charm and humour and, of course, murder.
The body count across the three books is fast running out of hands and fingers with which to count them on. And if you thought the mountain was gruesome, this one will have you never looking at a magic show in the same way again.
In the midst of planning a wedding, Ernest dashes off to help Erin after she’s been accused of murdering her partner Lyle. So strong is the case against her that the police aren’t even looking at anyone else - unless the next victim is killed of course…
Despite its lower page count, this book still pack in an incredible amount of detail in a very short amount of time and holiday cheer. Complete with a KK and an advent calendar of clues, Everyone this Christmas has a Secret is sure to delight Ernest, cozy mystery, and Christmas fans alike.
Thank you to Benjamin Stevenson, Penguin Random House Australia, and NetGalley for making Christmas come early.
