_________
I knew our family reunion wouldn't end well. But I didn't expect murder.
Maybe I should have known better. After all, everyone in my family is a killer. My parents, my siblings, my in-laws . . . even me. The deaths weren't all deliberate, of course. Accidents happen.
So when a body is found in the snow, it's clear it's the work of a Cunningham. But which one? And why?
I'll give you one clue: it wasn't me.
But a piece of advice? Never trust a Cunningham . . .

I absolutely loved it. Utterly original, hugely entertaining, and a must-read for every fan of the mystery genre. What an exceptionally fresh, smart, funny book - I've never read anything like this before.
—— Jane HarperAn ingenious and hilarious meta-murder mystery . . . strangely moving
—— Sunday Times 'Best Crime Books of 2022'As fresh and zingy as a salted lime. It's Knives Out meets Richard Osman. Or Dexter by way of Agatha Christie. Or Schitt's Creek with a body count. It's also the most luxuriantly enjoyable novel I've read in years. And years. I began toting my copy around town so that strangers would ask me about it - who could resist that title? I only wish there were more members of the Cunningham clan, so that this raucous, matchlessly entertaining mystery could go on longer. Benjamin Stevenson, I've got a lot to learn from you
