* 2022's most original and darkly funny murder mystery from award-winning comedian Benjamin Stevenson *



I was dreading the Cunningham family reunion even before the first murder. Before the storm stranded us at the mountain resort.

The thing is, us Cunninghams don't really get along.

We've only got one thing in common: we've all killed someone.

My brother, my step-sister, my wife, my father, my mother, my sister-in-law, my uncle, my step-father, my aunt. Even me.

When they find the first body in the snow, it's clear that only a Cunningham could have committed the crime - and it's up to me to prove it.

There are plenty of killers in my family. But only one murderer . . .

'Clever, unexpected, and not to be missed' KARIN SLAUGHTER

Critics Review

  • I absolutely loved it. Utterly original, hugely entertaining, and a must-read for every fan of the mystery genre. What an exceptionally fresh, smart, funny book – I’ve never read anything like this before.

    Jane Harper
  • An ingenious and hilarious meta-murder mystery . . . strangely moving

    Sunday Times 'Best Crime Books of 2022'
  • As fresh and zingy as a salted lime. It’s Knives Out meets Richard Osman. Or Dexter by way of Agatha Christie. Or Schitt’s Creek with a body count. It’s also the most luxuriantly enjoyable novel I’ve read in years. And years. I began toting my copy around town so that strangers would ask me about it – who could resist that title? I only wish there were more members of the Cunningham clan, so that this raucous, matchlessly entertaining mystery could go on longer. Benjamin Stevenson, I’ve got a lot to learn from you

  • The best thing I’ve read in ages. I absolutely loved it. Whip-smart, twisted, funny, and constructed with the pinpoint precision of a bloodthirsty watchmaker.

    Stuart MacBride
  • This book had me hooked from the first chapter. Deliciously funny, dark and intriguing

    Alex Pavesi
  • I absolutely loved it. It’s so engaging, entertaining and charming. I don’t think I’ve ever read anything like it, and it’s such a fun read
