Everyone This Christmas Has a Secret - Benjamin Stevenson

Descriere Everyone This Christmas Has a Secret - Benjamin Stevenson

\nBenjamin 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.\n \nMy 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.\n \nSo 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.\n \n THE MAGICIAN\n \n THE ASSISTANT\n \n THE EXECUTIVE\n \n THE HYPNOTIST\n \n THE IDENTICAL TWIN\n \n THE COUNSELLOR\n \n THE TECH\n \nMy 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.\n \nIf I can see through the illusions, I know I can solve it. \n \nAfter all, a good murder is just like a magic trick, isn't it?\n \n
