I’m used to reading more fantasy/sci-fi fiction, so it took a few chapters for me to really get into it, but once it roped me in it was hard to put down! I really enjoyed the meta writing. If there’s one nitpick I have, it was how Ernest, who had stated to be not much of a detective, completely nailed all the motives and the truth in the end, with some of his deductions being guesswork that happens to be correct. Am I too hung up on this though? No. This was a good ass book, and I am very eager to read the next one. The back of the book says it will be turned into an HBO series too, so I’ll have to watch that.
One final thought, a thank you to the author for suggesting the reader to pick up more Aussie crime fiction in the Acknowledgements section. I am DEFINITELY going to do that. Would’ve liked a few suggested authors though lmao.

Ernie Cunningham writes books about how to write crime novels. When he gets an email from his aunt saying he must attend a family reunion at a remote sky resort, he is somewhat nervous because, as the tite suggests, everyone in the Cunninghams are no ordinary family.
Soon after arrival, the resort is cut off to vehicles in a heavy snow storm. Ernie 's worst fears begin materialise when a body is found ìn the snow the day after and skills of his day job are called in to action.
This isn't Cosy Crime by any means, it is very dark and twisted, but I enjoyed it and will probably read the next one in the series.
