Goodreads blurb: “A remote lodge in upstate New York is the perfect getaway. . . until the bodies start piling up.It’s winter in the Catskills and the weather outside is frightful. But Mitchell’s Inn is so delightful! The cosy lodge nestled deep in the woods is perfect for a relaxing–maybe even romantic–weekend away. The Inn boasts spacious old rooms with huge wood-burning fireplaces, a well-stocked wine cellar, and opportunities for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, or just curling up with a book and someone you love. So when the weather takes a turn for the worse, and a blizzard cuts off the electricity–and all contact with the outside world–the guests settle in for the long haul. The power’s down but they’ve got candles, blankets, and wood–a genuine rustic experience! Soon, though, a body turns up–surely an accident. When a second body appears, they start to panic. Then they find a third body. Within the snowed-in paradise, something–or someone–is picking off the guests one by one. They can’t leave, and with no cell service, there’s no prospect of getting the police in until the weather loosens its icy grip. The weekend getaway has turned deadly. For some couples, it’s their first time away. For others, it will be their last. And there’s nothing they can do about it but huddle down and hope they can survive the storm.We can’t choose the strangers we meet.“

My Review

This was another read on The Pigeonhole, in fact it’s my seventh read with them this year! For those of you who don’t know it’s like an online book club, reading along with other readers on the web. The book was split into 10 parts, called staves, emailed to me each day. I was able to leave comments throughout and interact with the other readers and the author.

This was really gripping and I’m pretty sure that I would’ve read this in less than 24 hours if I hadn’t been reading via The Pigeonhole.

Every character was a suspect so I really didn’t know who to trust and who to be afraid of. I had my suspicions about  who might be the culprit, but I kept changing my mind as there was never enough evidence or motive to make me absolutely certain.

I loved the ending as there was a lovely twist which made me smile and think oh yeah!

A must read for lovers of mysteries and thrillers.
