A group of old friends in their thirties, who were the bright young things of Oxford University in their day, meet every year to spend New Year together.
This year, their chosen meeting place is a remote Scottish lodge house, which gets cut off from the outside world after heavy snowfall.
The group have grown apart over the years, but something is very "off" this year, and one of the group will pay for this.....with their life.
There is a definite feel of Agatha Christie about this book. The story goes back and forth between days before the murder and the days following, and the view points of a few of the different characters. Everyone has secrets and it is very difficult to guess who the murderer is.
Tightly crafted and keeps you guessing until the end.
