Everyone This Christmas Has a Secret by Benjamin Stevenson (Mariner), picked by social media manager, Robin
Ernest Cunningham’s 7 Commandments of Holiday Specials:
3. The detective must, at some point, learn the true meaning of the word Christmas.
And, indeed, Ern, does. You, Dear Reader, will not, unless your holiday is even more skewed towards murder and mayhem than the typical holiday get-together.
Everyone This Christmas Has a Secret by Benjamin Stevenson, our December featured staff pick, is a fun take on the holiday mystery, and as this series is known for, full of classic misdirection. Full of secret Santas, advent calendar clues, and rigged magic tricks, it’s a great way to spend a cozy afternoon.
