A perfect distraction from the surreal world we are living in right now. Being snowed in at a Scottish Hunting Lodge seems pretty good to me after a week spent getting students and staff ready for online learning. I figured out the mystery fairly early on but there were many twists and semi surprises along the way.

With an Agatha Christie feel--think And Then There Were None and The Mousetrap--but updated, this novel is set in the wild lonely beauty of the Scottish Highlands, where a group of old friends, visitors from London, have gathered to celebrate New Year on a snowed-in luxury estate....Told from multiple points of view, and beautifully narrated, it is a gripping and atmospheric mystery novel. Highly recommended.

A wonderful Agatha Christie style who-done-it set in a snow covered wilderness. I’m not sure how this group of college friends remained friends and have a yearly catch up when they are often so awkward and snippy with each other. There’s lots of secrets and not so perfect lives bubbling under the surface and it could be anyone who carks it and anyone who did it. Told in several timelines, it builds up and actually takes a while before you even know who has been killed.

Along with the stories of the 9 friends there is also back stories to the ex-military caretaker and the manager, both of whom have their secrets and reasons for working in such a remote area. Throw in a local serial killer and a few other bits and pieces and you’ve got yourself a great tale.

I listened to this on audio so I enjoyed the different voices for the characters and the suspense it added. I think I’ve found myself a new favourite author.

A wonderful Agatha Christie style whodunnit.

I listened to this one having enjoyed ‘The Guest List’. An entertaining, keeps you guessing who-dun-it with with great performances. At times I felt the pacing was a bit slow but overall enjoyable.

Kind of predictable-but easy listening. Passed a few bus trips. Not one I’ll revisit.

Lots of jumping around with the characters
