Thanks to Netgalley and Mariner for the opportunity to read and review this title. Such an fun romp!
Our narrator is Ern Cunningham, gathering with his family for the first time in years for a reunion at a winter resort. Ern's day job is writing books about writing mysteries, and he shares his insider knowledge as the mystery of the dead man found on the mountain the morning after his arrival.
The pacing is well done, the mystery unfolds beautifully. The characters feel real, their relationships and struggles are grand but human. The author balances humor and pain exquisitely. Plus, it is a darn intriguing mystery told from a very different perspective.
