About this Event
Meet author Benjamin Stevenson at Orange City Library on Wednesday 6 November at 5.30pm in conversation about his latest book Everyone This Christmas Has A Secrtet
Benjamin Stevenson returns with a Christmas addition to his bestselling Ernest Cunningham mysteries. Unwrap all the Christmas staples: presents, family, an impossible M**der or two, and a deadly advent calendar of clues.
If Knives Out and The Thursday M**der Club kissed under the mistletoe...
My name’s Ernest Cunningham. I used to be a fan of reading Golden Age M**der mysteries, until I found myself with a haphazard career getting stuck in the middle of real-life ones. I’d 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.
THE MAGICIAN
THE ASSISTANT
THE EXECUTIVE
THE HYPNOTIST
THE TWIN
THE COUNSELLOR
THE STAGEHAND
My clues are even more abstract: A suspect covered in blood, without a memory of how it got there; A M**der committed without setting foot inside the room where it happens; And an advent calendar. Because, you know, it's Christmas.
If I can see through the illusions, I know I can solve it.
After all, a good M**der is just like a magic trick, isn’t it?
'Ernest Cunningham is back! From a magic show to soaring above a valley in Australia’s beautiful Blue Mountains, the mystery is as ingenious and delightful as ever. Strap yourself in for Christmas hijinks, done the way only Benjamin Stevenson can.' Hayley Scrivenor
The event will be supported by Collins Booksellers, Orange and books will be available for sales and signings on the night.
