I absolutely loved this book! There are so many twists and turns and soon you realize these “close” friends really aren’t friends at all.
The premise of this mystery thriller is that some old college friends have decided to holiday in a lodge out in the wilderness for New Years. They’ve all gone different ways in life but still get together to enjoy each other’s company, or at least pretend to.... soon a deadly snow storm traps the guests in the lodge and one member of the group is missing soon to be found dead.
The story is told from different character’s points of view and jumps back forth between past and present. Every character is flawed and has their own secrets, which are slowly revealed as the novel goes along. The author does a great job at slowly leaving clues each chapter for the reader to put together and figure out not only who the murderer is but who was killed!
This was such a fun read, I actually went with the audiobook on this one and it was fabulous. Each character was voiced by a different person and it made the story even more enthralling. Highly recommend this one!
