This perfect Christmas book! Yes I said it - even though it's a murder mystery. I loved the fun "clue advent calendar door" at the end of each chapter leading up to the reveal. This book was absolutely as perfectly planned to confuse the heck out of you, but also keep you trying to guess the entire time. The reveal set up was *chefskiss* (just wait until you read it). I cannot get enough of Ernest (even though he is such a goof and maybe not the best with human relationships, at least he is very caring).  If you enjoy the series, you will love this one!

Thanks to the publisher for a free ARC; my thoughts and review are my own.
