$12.37

What began as an innocent holiday in the Scottish Highlands for a group of lifelong friends, soon turns sinister as a body is discovered in the snow. They are secluded, and the weather has left them isolated with no service. The dynamic of the group has been strained since they arrived, something unseen simmering just below the surface of the group. 

The book delves into each character, highlighting their flaws and weaving their stories together until you wonder if any one of them could be capable of murder. Only once you reach the end of the book do you discover who has been murdered and which one of them is a murderer.

I loved the setting of this novel! The blistering winter of the Scottish Highlands was perfect for setting the tone and delivering just the right amount of isolation for a murder to take place. The author was able to create a vivid image in my head and I found myself feeling like I was alone on holiday with a group of friends. 

After every chapter, I was certain I knew who the murderer was, but I was wrong all along! Most of the characters are very unlikable but I felt this played into the speculation of which could be a murderer. This fast-paced thriller keeps you guessing right up until the very end, and begs the question, do you really know your friends as well as you think you do?
