Perfect for you if...

  • You love locked-room mysteries and want something that feels both clever and genuinely funny, not just winking at the genre.
  • You've read Knout Out and The Thursday Murder Club and want that same blend of intricate plotting with characters you actually care about.
  • You appreciate unreliable narrators and family dysfunction played for both laughs and genuine stakes.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer your mysteries dark and serious without comedic relief or self-aware narrative games.
  • You need a fast-paced thriller rather than something that takes pleasure in unpacking the mechanics of whodunits.
  • You're not interested in stories where the narrator's reliability is part of the puzzle you're solving.

About this book

Ernest Cunningham, who writes guides to writing mysteries, narrates this locked room mystery set at a family ski resort reunion. He opens by stating that everyone in his family has killed someone—some multiple times. Among those with secrets are his brother, stepsister, wife, father, mother, sister-in-law, uncle, stepfather, and aunt. Cunningham himself has also killed someone, though the full details emerge as the story unfolds. The novel blends classic and modern mystery conventions, combining elements of traditional whodunits with contemporary storytelling. It plays fair with readers while executing the mystery puzzle with precision.
