Everyone This Christmas Has a Secret

By Benjamin Stevenson
Everyone This Christmas Has a Secret by Benjamin Stevenson digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Benjamin Stevenson returns with a Christmas addition to his bestselling, “deviously good fun” (Nita Prose), Ernest Cunningham mysteries. Unwrap all the Christmas staples: presents, family, an impossible murder or two, and a deadly advent calendar of clues. If Knives Out and The Thursday Murder Club kissed under the mistletoe.

My name’s Ernest Cunningham. I used to be a fan of reading Golden Age murder mysteries, until I found myself with a haphazard career getting stuck in the middle of real-life ones. I’d hoped, this Christmas, that any self-respecting murderer would kick their feet up and take it easy over the holidays. I was wrong.

So here I am, backstage at the show of world-famous magician Rylan Blaze, whose benefactor has just been murdered. My suspects are all professional tricksters: masters of the art of misdirection.

THE MAGICIAN

THE ASSISTANT

THE EXECUTIVE

THE HYPNOTIST

THE IDENTICAL TWIN

THE COUNSELLOR

 THE TECH

My clues are even more abstract: A suspect covered in blood, without a memory of how it got there. A murder committed without setting foot inside the room where it happens. And an advent calendar. Because, you know, it’s Christmas.

If I can see through the illusions, I know I can solve it.

After all, a good murder is just like a magic trick, isn’t it?

  • A cozy holiday read
  • Perfect for fans of winter mysteries
  • A delightful Christmas gift

Rolling on the Floor Laughing Face“Likte den sånn helt ok - sleit litt med å holde meg til ett kapittel om gangen, så noen ganger ventet jeg sånn at jeg fikk lest flere. Likte konseptet med at han snakket til oss. Sleit litt med å holde styr på alle karakterene, men mange morsomme som tok med seg sin egen lille «twist». Liker at det er julesetting, men ikke vant med en varm jul så tok meg selv i å «lete etter vinter en» for å få mer julestemning😅 Heller ikke så vant med krim, det går i perioder, men tror denne har vekket litt interessen for krim igjen! 😊”
