Mord gibt es in den besten Familien: Knives Out meets Agatha Christie und den DonnerstagsmordclubEine mörderisch nette Familie: Ernie Cunningham, passionierter Krimi-Liebhaber, nimmt nur widerwillig am ersten Familientreffen seit Jahren teil. Seit er seinen Bruder Michael wegen Mordes angezeigt hat, hängt der Haussegen schief. Dass dann ausgerechnet am Vorabend von Michaels Ankunft auch prompt eine Leiche in dem isoliert liegenden Skiressort auftaucht, macht die Stimmung bei den eingeschneiten Cunninghams nicht unbedingt besser. Da von der Außenwelt keine Hilfe zu erwarten ist, stürzt sich Ernie Kraft seines geballten Kriminalwissens in die Ermittlungen, um weitere Todesfälle zu verhindern. Doch wem kann man trauen, wenn buchstäblich jeder mindestens eine Leiche im Keller hat?'Clever, unerwartet - unbedingt lesen!' Karin SlaughterIn dieser rasanten Hommage an den klassischen Detektivroman (inklusive Showdown in der Bibliothek!) kommen Sie auf ihre Kosten, wenn Sie gerne miträtseln und von dem Ermittler mitgenommen werden wollen. Aber Achtung: Von all den unerwarteten Wendungen kann einem schnell schwindelig werden, wenn man nicht aufpasst!

Sieben Krimiautoren steigen in einen Zug. Nicht alle werden ihn lebend verlassen.  Ernest Cunningham ist im Stress: Seit sein letztes Buch zu einem Bestseller wurde, ist er ein gefragter Autor. Auf der Suche nach neuer Inspiration folgt er der Einladung zu einem ganz besonderen Krimifestival in einem Langstreckenzug. Dieser ist tagelang durch das australische Outback unterwegs. Die illustre Gesellschaft ist bereits mitten im Nirgendwo, als ein Fahrgast stirbt. Zunächst gehen alle von natürlichen Umständen aus, doch dann wird in einer Kabine eine zweite Leiche gefunden, daneben ein Manuskript, auf dem die Tinte noch trocknet. Ernest muss gemeinsam mit den anderen Krimiautoren den Mörder stoppen, bevor es weitere Opfer gibt. Doch wem kann er trauen, wenn alle ihr Geld damit verdienen, perfekte Verbrechen zu planen? Eine Verneigung vor der Queen der klassischen Kriminalliteratur, ein Locked Room-Krimi - in jedem Fall ein großes Lesevergnügen für alle Fans von "Mord im Orientexpress", "Knives Out" und "Glass Onion".

Mi chiamo Ernest Cunningham. Ero un fan dei gialli dell'Epoca d'oro finché non sono diventato, mio malgrado, fin troppo esperto in materia. Quest'anno a Natale contavo sul fatto che qualsiasi assassino che si rispetti se ne stesse in panciolle a scartare regali e abbuffarsi, ma mi sbagliavo. Quindi eccomi qui, nel backstage dello spettacolo del mago di fama mondiale Rylan Blaze, il cui committente è appena stato assassinato. I miei sospettati sono tutti imbroglioni professionisti, maestri nell'arte del depistaggio: oltre al mago, un esperto di trucchi e travestimenti, un'ipnotista, una responsabile finanziaria, una gemella, uno psicologo, un tecnico delle luci e degli effetti speciali. I miei indizi sono ancora più fumosi: un disperato messaggio di aiuto, un omicidio commesso senza mettere piede nella stanza in cui accade e un calendario dell'Avvento. D'altronde, è pur sempre Natale. Se riesco a vedere oltre le illusioni, so di poter risolvere il caso. Dopotutto, un omicidio ben congegnato è un po' come un trucco di magia, no? Dopo il grande successo di Tutti nella mia famiglia hanno ucciso qualcuno e Tutti su questo treno sono sospetti, Benjamin Stevenson ritorna con un episodio speciale della sua serie bestseller che ha per protagonista Ernest Cunningham. Un giallo sferzante e pieno di ironia, costruito come un calendario dell'Avvento, in cui ogni capitolo contiene un indizio per giungere alla soluzione finale. Il Natale, si sa, può essere micidiale.
