“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.”

Beginning with the above contention by our narrator Ernest Cunningham (author of how-to books for mystery writers) this clever and unusual whodunit takes place at a ski resort, where the various members of the Cunningham family gather to celebrate Ernest’s brother Michael’s release from prison. Since it’s Ernest’s testimony that put Michael away, family dynamics are complicated…especially when the body of a stranger is found in the snow, and suspects abound—many with the last name Cunningham. With all kinds of surprising twists and amusing asides, this is a quirky read that will delight mystery lovers.
