24 advent calendar doors. 23 clues. And 1 killer to catch before Christmas . . . a deviously
clever classic murder mystery for the festive season For fans of Janice Hallett Anthony
Horowitz and Peter Swanson's The Christmas Guest 'Lots to enjoy. Light and fun . . . the sort
of thing to pop in the stocking of your fellow mystery fan on Christmas Day' Observer 'Fun
and diverting with a plethora of red herrings' New York Times ---- My name is Ernest
Cunningham. I'm not a detective. I just happen to have a knack for what makes mysteries - and
murderers - tick. I'd hoped this Christmas that any killers out there might be willing to
take a break for the holidays. I was wrong. So here I am backstage at the Christmas show of
world-famous magician Rylan Blaze whose benefactor has just been murdered. From the magician's
assistant to the hypnotist my suspects are all professional tricksters. Masters in the art of
misdirection. My clues are even more of a mystery: A suspect covered in blood with no memory
of how it got there. A murder committed without setting foot inside the room where it happens.
And an advent calendar. Because you know. It's Christmas. Solving the murder is the only gift
I want this year. But can I catch a killer and make it home for Christmas alive? ---- Why
