I listened to this book and that was fun because all the characters are read by different people, and all of them are talented. The murder mystery did truly surprise me with the twist at the end! I didn't think it was going to be who it was. Is it the best written book ever? No, it was a little cringe and rough at times. But was it a fun murder mystery? Yeah! It was like if until dawn didn't have anything supernatural happening in it. I love a "trapped in one place" sort of drama.

wow, so good. i loved the familiarity of each of the narrators, like they were ranting to me about their histories and issues. it had great pacing and writing and a riveting story, had me guessing at every turn but still provided a dramatic ending. i loved how the lodge employees were treated as entirely human and noteworthy despite being less glamorous than the guests. everyone is a grotesque character and it was fascinating to see them alternate between unraveling spectacularly and finding some kind of redemption.
