Todos los miembros de mi familia han matado a alguien. Algunos, los más eficientes y productivos, hemos matado a más de uno.Una reunión familiar es siempre un asunto de vida o muerte. La mejor novela negra del año por The Sunday Times. A Ernie Cunningham nunca le han gustado las reuniones familiares. Aunque algo tiene que ver el hecho de que hace tres años viera a su hermano, Michael, matar a alguien y lo denunciara a la policia, un ultraje que la familia nunca le ha perdonado. Ahora han decidido reunirse para una ocasion especial: pasaran un fin de semana en un hotel en la montaña para celebrar el reencuentro con Michael. Pero los Cunningham no son una familia que se pase el fin de semana bajo la manta contemplando el paisaje. El dia en que llegue Michael encontraran el cadaver de un hombre en las inmediaciones del hotel. Cuando la policia sea incapaz de resolver el crimen, quedara en manos de Ernie deducir si el culpable es uno de sus familiares... antes de que sea demasiado tarde.

SIX WRITERS. FIVE DETECTIVES. FOUR DAYS. THREE WEAPONS. TWO MURDERS. ONE TRAIN . . .When the Australian Mystery Writers' Society invited me to their crime-writing festival aboard the Ghan, the famous train between Darwin and Adelaide, I was hoping for some inspiration for my second book. Fiction, this time: I needed a break from real people killing each other. Obviously, that didn't pan out.The program is a who's who of crime writing royalty:the debut writer (me!)the forensic science writerthe blockbuster writerthe legal thriller writerthe literary writerthe psychological suspense writer.But when one of us is murdered, six authors quickly turn into five detectives. Together, we should know how to solve a crime.Or commit one . . .But how do you catch a killer, when all your suspects know how to get away with murder?

Ernest Cunningham e nei guai. Dopo essere diventato famoso per aver scritto un true crime sulla sua famiglia una famiglia micidiale: hanno tutti ucciso qualcuno , il suo agente letterario e il suo editore gli chiedono con insistenza un nuovo libro. Ma dove trovare lispirazione, senza che qualcuno ci rimetta la pelle? Loccasione si presenta sotto forma di un invito al Festival Australiano del Giallo. In omaggio ad Assassinio sullOrient Express di Agatha Christie, gli organizzatori hanno deciso di riunire un gruppo di celebri giallisti a bordo del Ghan, il treno che attraversa lAustralia, da Darwin a Adelaide. Durante il viaggio, Ernie avra modo di confrontarsi con i colleghi e forse, chissa, di mettersi finalmente al lavoro. Neanche il tempo di partire che ci scappa il morto. Per deformazione professionale, ciascuno dei giallisti inizia subito a elaborare teorie in base alla propria specializzazione: ce chi procede per deduzione, chi veste i panni del medico legale e chi traccia il profilo psicologico del possibile assassino. A bordo sono tutti sospetti. Sulla carta sanno tutti come ragiona un detective e, prima ancora, come si commette un crimine, ma chi e passato dalla teoria alla pratica? Dopo Tutti nella mia famiglia hanno ucciso qualcuno, Benjamin Stevenson torna con un giallo brillante e ricco di humour, che corre davvero come un treno verso il piu sorprendente dei finali.

Benjamin Stevenson returns with a Christmas addition to his bestselling, deviously good fun (Nita Prose), Ernest Cunningham mysteries. Unwrap all the Christmas staples: presents, family, an impossible murder or two, and a deadly advent calendar of clues. If Knives Out and The Thursday Murder Club kissed under the mistletoe.My names Ernest Cunningham. I used to be a fan of reading Golden Age murder mysteries, until I found myself with a haphazard career getting stuck in the middle of real-life ones. Id hoped, this Christmas, that any self-respecting murderer would kick their feet up and take it easy over the holidays. I was wrong.So here I am, backstage at the show of world-famous magician Rylan Blaze, whose benefactor has just been murdered. My suspects are all professional tricksters: masters of the art of misdirection.

PERFECT FOR FANS OF THE DRY AND MAKING A MURDEREROutstanding . . . an absorbing thriller told with heart and wit. Morality and ambition clash on a journey full of twists as [this] takes readers from the cut-throat media landscape to a sleepy town full of secretsJane Harper, bestselling author of The Dry and Force of NatureFour years ago Eliza Dacey was brutally murdered.Within hours, her killer was caught.Wasnt he?So reads the opening titles of Jack Quicks new true-crime documentary.A skilled producer, Jack knows that the bigger the conspiracy, the higher the ratings. Curtis Wade, convicted of Elizas murder on circumstantial evidence and victim of a biased police force, is the perfect subject. Millions of viewers agree.Just before the finale, Jack uncovers a minor detail that may prove Curtis guilty after all. Convinced it will ruin his show, Jack disposes of the evidence and delivers the finale unedited: proposing that Curtis is innocent.But when Curtis is released, and a new victim is found bearing horrifying similarities to the original murder, Jack realizes that he may have helped a guilty man out of jail. And, as the only one who knows the real evidence of the case, he is the only one who can send him back...A hugely-original premise, a guilt-ridden protagonist, a plot that wont lie down. A great debutChris Hammer, author of Scrublands
