About this listen
"Please...someone...help us. We’re at The Lodge, the snow is everywhere. We’re trapped. There was an argument last night...things got out of hand. Someone went missing in the middle of the night. We think they might be dead...."
Two days ago, the Wilson family checked into the imposing, glass-fronted Lodge, surrounded by snow and perched perilously on the edge of a cliff looking out to a gray sea. Not everyone was looking forward to the family get-together. But mother-in-law Angela insisted the winter trip would help heal their rifts....
Danni: the new wife who feels like an imposter. She doesn’t trust anyone—even her husband. But is she trustworthy herself?
Fiona: the ex-wife who feels that all eyes are on her. She’s here for the sake of her children, but she fails to hide her seething jealousy toward her ex-husband’s new family....
Angela: the mother-in-law who can’t help but interfere. She planned the family holiday to get everyone together, but does she really want to keep the peace?
Scott: the husband torn between his ex-wife and his new wife. He says he wants to do right by his family, but he’s been telling lies to them all. Now his darkest secret is about to be revealed.
After a night of arguments, morning breaks with a single scream. Not everyone came to The Lodge play to happy families. Someone came to get revenge....
A completely gripping, utterly twisted thriller that will leave your jaw on the floor. Perfect for fans of The Housemaid, The Perfect Marriage, and The Girl on the Train.
©2023 Sue Watson (P)2023 Bookouture, an imprint of Storyfire Ltd.The story starts off strong, with the narrative being told from alternating view points of the 2 main protagonists. Unfortunately from midpoint to the end, the story drags on and on and gets repetitive.
Another issue was the lack of likeable characters, which made it difficult to care what happens. I didn't enjoy the female representation.
While I remained interested enough to keep going, I found the story became quite farsical towards the end. It felt like the author was trying to add twists at the last minute but unfortunately failed to deliver and thrill or a believable plot twist.
The narrators were great although one of them sounded bored towards the end (I do not blame her!)
