Overview
Step into the hilariously twisted world of amateur sleuth Ernest Cunningham with this complete four-book paperback collection from award-winning Australian author Benjamin Stevenson.

Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and modern meta-mysteries, this collection delivers four back-to-back puzzles built for binge reading and endless plot-twist discussion.

About the Books
This collection gathers all four Ernest Cunningham mysteries in one brand-new paperback set, following a self-aware true-crime writer turned reluctant detective who keeps stumbling into murder. The series opener finds Ernest at a remote family reunion where everyone, it turns out, has killed someone at least once, forcing him to untangle decades of dark secrets while narrating directly to the reader about the rules of fair-play mystery writing. The second book moves the action to a cross-country train, where a body turns up and every passenger becomes a suspect, including Ernest himself, while he narrates his own detection in real time. The third trades snow and steel rails for tinsel and turkey, dropping him into a holiday gathering where a festive secret turns deadly. The fourth and newest entry sends him into a glittering bank heist gone wrong. Benjamin Stevenson's style blends golden-age detective structure with modern comic timing, winking at genre conventions while playing scrupulously fair with the clues. Readers praise the books for their clever construction, witty narration, and twists that feel impossible to predict yet perfectly earned on a reread. Whether read in order or picked up individually, each title stands on its own while rewarding longtime fans with recurring characters and running jokes. This brand-new paperback set offers an ideal way to experience the full arc of the series, from Ernest's reluctant debut through his growing reputation as crime fiction's unluckiest innocent bystander.
