"Everyone in my family has killed someone. It's just that not all of them killed other people." With these chilling words, Ernest Cunningham opens his account of a family reunion gone terribly wrong. As a writer of how-to guides for aspiring authors, Ernest understands the importance of playing fair with readers. He promises no tricks, no unreliable narration - just the unvarnished truth about his dysfunctional family and the murders that connect them. His analytical mind constantly references the rules of detective fiction even as he's living through one, breaking the fourth wall to ensure we're following the complex web of relationships and motives. What makes this confession so unsettling isn't just its bluntness - it's that Ernest means it literally. Every member of the Cunningham family has blood on their hands, though the circumstances vary dramatically. From accidents to self-defense to premeditated murder, the spectrum of killing creates a moral ambiguity that defies simple categorization. But what happens when a family defined by secrets and violence gathers at an isolated mountain resort? As a blizzard approaches and tensions rise, the discovery of a frozen body transforms their reunion into something far darker - a sealed-room mystery where every family member becomes both suspect and potential victim.
