Join us this silly season, and hear from award-winning stand-up comedian and *USA Today* best-selling author Benjamin Stevenson, as he returns with a festive addition to his bestselling Ernest Cunningham mysteries, *Everyone This Christmas Has A Secret*.

When a Christmas show takes a dark turn after a magician’s guillotine trick goes awry, who should be in the front row? After solving the cases of his murderous family and an ill-fated train trip filled with crime writers, Ernest Cunningham finds himself slipping back into the shoes of detective to unravel not one but two tricky crimes.

With a suspect covered in blood and no memory of how it got there, a victim impossibly decapitated by a piece of paper, and a cast of characters who are all masters of illusion, this is not panning out to be the Merry Christmas Ernest had hoped for.

Someone’s head must roll but as Ernest becomes embroiled in the case, he finds, in an ingenious sleight of hand, this is not a matter of who wanted the victim dead, but who got there first…

This event is for lovers of Australian crime fiction with a twist!
