About this listen
Everyone's invited...everyone's a suspect....
For fans of Ruth Ware and Tana French, a shivery, atmospheric, pause-resisting novel of psychological suspense in the tradition of Agatha Christie, in which a group of old college friends are snowed in at a hunting lodge...and murder and mayhem ensue.
All of them are friends. One of them is a killer.
During the languid days of the Christmas break, a group of 30-something friends from Oxford meets to welcome in the New Year together, a tradition they began as students 10 years ago. For this vacation, they’ve chosen an idyllic and isolated estate in the Scottish Highlands - the perfect place to get away and unwind by themselves.
They arrive on December 30, just before a historic blizzard seals the lodge off from the outside world.
Two days later, on New Year’s Day, one of them is dead.
The trip began innocently enough: admiring the stunning if foreboding scenery, champagne in front of a crackling fire, and reminiscences about the past. But after a decade, the weight of secret resentments has grown too heavy for the group’s tenuous nostalgia to bear. Amid the boisterous revelry of New Year’s Eve, the cord holding them together snaps.
Now, one of them is dead...and another of them did it.
Keep your friends close, the old adage goes. But just how close is too close?

Story
On an island off the coast of Ireland, guests gather to celebrate two people joining their lives together as one. The groom: handsome and charming, a rising television star. The bride: smart and ambitious, a magazine publisher. It’s a wedding for a magazine or for a celebrity: the designer dress, the remote location, the luxe party favors, the boutique whiskey. The cell phone service may be spotty and the waves may be rough, but every detail has been expertly planned and will be expertly executed.

Only when she shows up – to find a very nice apartment, could Ben really have afforded this? – he’s not there.

Nine strangers receive a list with their names on it in the mail. Nothing else, just a list of names on a single sheet of paper. None of the nine people know or have ever met the others on the list. They dismiss it as junk mail, a fluke—until very, very bad things begin happening to people on the list. First, a well-liked old man is drowned on a beach in the small town of Kennewick, Maine. Then, a father is shot in the back while running through his quiet neighborhood in suburban Massachusetts. A frightening pattern is emerging, but what do these nine people have in common?

Now reduced to a schoolyard chant, the Hope family murders shocked the Maine coast one bloody night in 1929. While most people assume seventeen-year-old Lenora was responsible, the police were never able to prove it. Other than her denial after the killings, she has never spoken publicly about that night, nor has she set foot outside Hope’s End, the cliffside mansion where the massacre occurred.

Long-winded
This book had the potential to be great. However, it was very slow at the beginning and ended too abruptly. The characters of Doug and Heather were unnecessary and I found myself skipping their chapters. This writer could have benefited from a good editor!

Great Read
I enjoyed everything about this book. The story is well written and the various characters are fully fleshed out and believable. I particularly enjoyed the way the narration was done with different actors for each character rather than one person attempting to do different voices. The story is gripping and suspenseful.

Passed the time
I usually enjoy these books, it just didn’t keep me on my toes. Maybe, it was how the characters were performed. At first I was confused on who each character was for the first few chapters. There are a few side stories that do not seem to fit, could have been left out and it would not have affected the plot.

Fun listen but no lasting impact
I enjoyed listening to the story. It definitely reminds me of the classic "and then there were none". I did guess the ending fairly quickly but I felt like there was still a good amount of intrigue. it was fast pace and enjoyable, just lacked any innovation to the genre to leave a lasting impact.

Awesome narrators! One of my favourites: Imogen Church. The story was a little difficult to follow at first due to so many characters but became easier as the novel went on. Worth the listen.

I really liked this book. Great character development and setting descriptions. I could really relate *sort of* to the people and social setting - (on a less extreme scale). Narrations we’re great and ending was unexpected and left me satisfied.
