A chilling, atmospheric, page-turning psychological thriller book in the vein of Agatha Christie, for readers of Ruth Ware and Tana French, about a group of old college pals who get snowed in at a hunting lodge and the mayhem and murder that follows.
They are all buddies. There is a murderer among them.
A group of thirtysomething Oxford friends get together to celebrate the New Year together during the lazy days of Christmas break. This is a custom they started when they were students 10 years ago. They have selected a secluded and picturesque home in the Scottish Highlands for their vacation—the ideal location to escape and decompress alone.
They get there on December 30, just before the lodge is cut off from the outside world by a record snowstorm.
On New Year's Day, two days later, one of them passes away.
The journey started out rather peacefully, with champagne in front of a blazing fire, memories of the past, and admiration of the beautiful but ominous environment. But after 10 years, the group's shaky nostalgia is no longer able to support the weight of hidden grudges. The rope that was tying them together breaks during the wild celebration of New Year's Eve.
One of them is now dead, and the other one was the one who killed them.
The saying reads, "Keep your friends close." However, what distance is too close?
