Bookroo's summary

A group of Oxford friends reunite at a secluded Scottish estate for New Year's, but a blizzard traps them, and old grudges resurface. By New Year's Day, one is dead. As secrets unravel, trust shatters. Who among them is the killer? In this chilling whodunit, friendships are tested, and the truth is as cold as the Highland snow. Can they uncover the murderer before it's too late, or will the past destroy them all?

From the publisher

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER”My favorite kind of whodunit, kept me guessing all the way through, and reminiscent of Agatha Christie at her best – with an extra dose of acid.” – Alex Michaelides, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Silent Patient From the author of the Reese Witherspoon book club pick The Guest ListEveryone’s invited…everyone’s a suspect…During the languid days of the Christmas break, a group of thirtysomething friends from Oxford meet to welcome in the New Year together, a tradition they began as students ten 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. The trip begins 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, just as a historic blizzard seals the lodge off from the outside world.Two days later, on New Year’s Day, one of them is dead. . . and another of them did it. Keep your friends close, the old adage says. But how close is too close?DON’T BE LEFT OUT. JOIN THE PARTY NOW.
