Great review! I've got this one on my TBR. Good to know it fits the Winter tag.
4 1/2 stars
Ernest Cunningham is an author that writes books about writing murder mystery books (although he has never written a murder mystery himself before this one). In this book he tells the totally true story of a murder mystery that he was personally involved with..following all the rules of the golden age of mystery novels. I don't want to give anything else away, other than the fact that it takes place during a family reunion at a ski resort during a winter storm (hence it fitting the winter tag). If you like a little humor in your murder mystery stories and don't mind characters breaking the 4th wall, then I recommend giving this one a try. I liked all of the characters (even the unlikeable ones) and the mystery itself kept me guessing (even though the clues were there in the story); which pretty much makes a good mystery novel to me. The deaths were violent, but not so much so that they turned me off from the story. The second book in this series comes out next week and I will definitely be on the lookout.
