Everyone This Christmas Has a Secret (Ernest Cunningham Mysteries #3)

Brigid says: Ernest Cunningham, quick-witted expert on Golden Age mysteries, keeps finding himself caught up in real life murders to solve and this Christmas is no exception. When an important person from Ernest’s past wakes up covered in blood with a magician’s dead body nearby, Ernest agrees to help clear their name. I loved how the holiday weather in Australia mirrors the typical December forecast in my south Florida home. Plus, the festive format of this fair play whodunit revolves around an Advent calendar and presents under the tree. Filled with jolly humor and twisty turns, this third book in the series can totally be read as a standalone. It's got the comedy of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, the entertainment of a BBC Christmas special, and the magic of the Now You See Me movies.
