WE CAN’T CHOOSE THE STRANGERS WE MEET.

As the Guest arrive at beautiful, remote Mitchell’s Inn, they’re all looking forward to a relaxing weekend deep in the forest, miles from anywhere, they watch their fellow guest with interest, from a polite distance. 

USUALLY WE CAN AVOID THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE US NERVOUS, MAKE US AFRAID.

With a violent storm raging, the group finds itself completely cut off from the outside world. Nobody can get in or out. And then the first body is found and the horrifying truth comes to light. There’s a killer among them and nowhere to run. 

UNTIL WE FIND OURSELVES IN A SITUATION WE CAN’T ESCAPE. TRAPPED.

MY REVIEW 

Shari Lapena has done it again with another fast paced thriller, it’s combined like a Christie-Esque. To me the thriller was rather like cluedo, a whodunnit,  only here we have couples and with a killer among them. And frightened guest can leave because of the snow. And no police can reach Mitchell’s Inn until the snow storm stops. 

Let’s meet the couples who have decided to go away for a relaxing weekend at Mitchell’s Inn miles away from anywhere and there is no escape with the snow that keeps falling.

Gwen & Riley are looking forward to a girls weekend away.

David Paley is a criminal defence attorney. He won’t think about work for the next 48 hours.

Lauren Day watches other guests she has always been curious about people.

Ian Beeton helps Gwen and Riley get to Mitchell’s Inn as their car went off the road in the falling snow. 

Beverly Sullivan and her husband Henry marriage is in disrepair.

Dana and Matthew, he wanted somewhere quiet and intimate to spend some time with Dana before their wedding 

Candice White is an author, writing in her hotel room.
