An on-the-nose Christmas special, I've been enjoying this meta murder mystery series ever since Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone, and this holiday themed novella is another home-run for fans of Benjamin Stevenson's unique mix of classic murder mysteries homage, self-deprecating humor, and the fourth-wall breaking writing style.

Despite its shorter length, Benjamin Stevenson still manages to pack a robust roster of suspects, and the reveal is just as intricate (and very holiday themed) as the series' novel entries. I wouldn't recommend starting fresh with this (there are references to events happened in previous books), but it's a no-brainer for series readers looking for something festive and murderous.
