A short quick to read crime plot in a Christmassy mood, bit fun on how it started with an inviting prologue following Ernest Cunningham in his another sleuth adventure after Erin, his ex-wife was caught red-handed (literally) as a suspect of murdering her fiance, Lyle Pearse; a well known retired actor and head of the Pearse Foundation. It gets too tangled after Erin confessed she did not remember anything about the scene and as the clock ticked, another related murder took place while Erin still behind bars leaving Ernest too startled with another puzzling mystery to solve. \n\nI honestly did not care much on the first murder of Lyle but the second one with Rylan piqued me much. It was intense with 6 suspects, 7 suspicious presents to unwrap and how Ernest enthralled me with his advent calendar of clues, the bits and bobs about the case as well his way of narrating, explaining and sharing on the details like I was there beside him as his Watson. Loved how he went so meticulous in deducing the scenes, mischievous too in a way and so quick-witted.\n\nI have my suspicion towards two of the suspects with one person really stood out to me the most. Bit stunned during the revelation because of the twist; too unexpected and inventive for the murder plan to work out that way and how Ernest could untangled it to find the whodunnit for Lyle’s death. Knotty and playful; that 6 letters under the doors with an invitation for a cable car ride— mysteries are surely a team sport, I guess.\n\nThird in the series and I enjoyed it as much; fast-paced with easy to grasp for a murder mystery plot and the setting too was appropriately crafted to fit that festive mood for Christmas. \n\nThank you Times Reads for the gifted review copy!","rv-01kr81memkx10d0t5d98d1p84b",[],"2026-05-10T04:16:54.000000Z",{"first":7,"last":7,"prev":7,"next":7},{"path":162,"per_page":163,"next_cursor":7,"prev_cursor":7,"has_more":22},"https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fapi\u002Fworks\u002F01kr2c1wem493hffannp7fpws7\u002Freviews",20]
