Everyone This Christmas Has a Secret

 Everyone This Christmas Has a Secret

Ernest Cunningham #3

Reviewed by Helen


Ernest is at it again solving a murder or two, this time his ex-wife Erin rings him just on Christmas and while he is busy with plans for his wedding to Juliette, she is in jail accused of the murder of her boyfriend Lyle Pearce he cannot not get himself involved so off to the Blue Mountains he travels.

If you have read the first two books in the series you will know that Ernest’s way of unravelling the clues is different to say the least and this one is no different, arriving at the jail to talk to Erin he gets started Lyle was a philanthropist helping young people overcome their problems and he has sponsored a magician Rylan Blaze to do a tour this year, but as Ernest investigates at the venue Rylan also loses his life in such a bizarre way, will Ernest find the killer or killers? There are quite a few suspects to choose from.

This is another very interesting story in this series one that I did very much enjoy, I love the authors style of writing and the clues along the way had me thinking hard I didn’t pick who done it till the end, this is one that I do highly recommend a good mystery that is witty and different.

4 stars
