Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone

“This first-person mystery set in a snowed-in mountain resort in Australia delivers on both intrigue and wit. Everyone at the Cunningham family reunion has killed someone. When a body turns up, Ernie Cunningham, crime writer, tries to figure out who did it and why. But no one is missing from the remote resort and no one from the outside could have gotten through the storm. The longer the body goes unidentified, the more people die.

If you like Golden Age detective fiction with a modern twist, this book is a treat! ”
