Many thanks to NetGalley, Mariner Books, and HarperAudio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the latest in the Ernie Cunningham series by Benjamin Stevenson, with the audiobook narrated perfectly once again by Barton Welch. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!
Ernest Cunningham and his fiancé are trying to get a bank loan for his detective agency with no luck. So they are when they are called to a bank, but they find the senior executive missing and he's the only one with the combination to the vault. Then a man with a gun appears to rob the bank and takes them and the other people in the bank hostage. The doors are chained shut. No one in or out. Which means that when someone in the bank is murdered, everyone is a suspect. And everyone in the bank is a thief.
This series is just so much fun, and even though you could read it as a stand alone, it's much better if you know all the back stories. Ernest will give the reader all the clues necessary to solve the puzzle, but you probably won't - only Ernest can solve this case. It's pure over-the-top fun - multiple mysteries to solve, snarky humor, suspicious characters, and just a smart plot. The narration was also wonderful and I mostly listened to this one. Bravo once again on a fabulous series - can't wait for more!
