🌟 Thriller
Every character in this book bar Heather and Doug are AWFUL. I don't think I've ever seen so many unlikeable characters in the one place 🤣 I could not wait to find out who the victim was, never mind the perpetrator, because it could've been any of them and I'd still have been delighted. There was no way for me to be disappointed here.

Pretty much all of the characters are unlikable, which is fine because it gives pretty much everybody in there a motive to be a killer. BUT! I think the conceit of the novel not revealing who was killed until about 3/4 of the way through was actually detracting from my enjoyment of things. It meant that I was trying to figure out at the same time who was the killer and who actually died, which means that it was hard to keep up with the plot - anyone could have died and anyone could have been the killer.
I did, however, find that the classic “stranded in the cabin during a snowstorm” Aesthetic worked really well for the book. It was very atmospheric and the wilderness and the cabin kind of takes on a life of its own. I enjoyed the side characters of the groundskeeper and the house manager because they seemed like the most complex characters out of all of them.
I also think that the writing was really good! While it wasn’t the most purple of pros it really does suck you into each point of view and get you into the characters head which was pretty nice to see.
