All the clues needed are here, some so subtle it’s easy to pass over them, but it all ties together in the end. For me, it’s the style in which it’s all presented that made this book so engaging. I’m not usually a fan of first person and I’ve seen that the fictional author of the book talking to the audience has annoyed some readers, but I loved it. Others call it confusing and say it’s all been done before by better. That can be said for many books, but that doesn’t negate other novels. I wasn’t confused and don’t feel it’s fair to assess a book against another. All I know is I had fun with this. I did, however, set my sights on the suspect(s) before the denouement, but not early enough to spoil the outcome. I may check out other works by the author. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML: Knives Out and Clue meet Agatha Christie and The Thursday Murder Club in this "utterly original" (Jane Harper), "not to be missed" (Karin Slaughter), fiendishly clever blend of classic and modern murder mystery. "A witty twist on classic whodunits... Stevenson not only 'plays fair,' he plays the mystery game very, very well." â?? Maureen Corrigan, Washington Post Everyone in my family has killed someone. Some of us, the high achievers, have killed more than once. I'm not trying to be dramatic, but it is the truth. Some of us are good, others are bad, and some just unfortunate. I'm Ernest Cunningham. Call me Ern or Ernie. I wish I'd killed whoever decided our family reunion should be at a ski resort, but it's a little more complicated than that. Have I killed someone? Yes. I have. Who was it? Let's get started.

Like locked escape rooms, I’m not a locked-room mystery kind of reader. I don’t like riddles and impossible puzzles. I don’t want to muddle through hidden clues or Sherlock Holmes myself through a story. But because of the recommendations of some favorite readers, I picked this one up, and I’m so glad I did. Yes, it’s a locked-room mystery, littered with clues and riddles (so if that’s your thing, you’ll enjoy this), but it also has so much more. It’s a meta-mystery full of dry-witted humor and curious characters who give off some major Wes Anderson vibes. It’s funny. It’s also told through a really unique narrator’s voice and was (to me) more about the relationships in this dysfunctional family—who belongs to the family, roles within the family, living up to the family name—than it is about the mystery and murder happening around them. It really was a uniquely enjoyable read—so much so that I look forward to reading the next book in this series. ( )
