Publisher Description
AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
Another thrilling domestic suspense novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Couple Next Door and Not a Happy Family
“A gripping mystery perfect for fans of Agatha Christie.” –Good Housekeeping
“Another nail-biter perfect for an all-nighter.” –Entertainment Weekly
A weekend retreat at a cozy mountain lodge is supposed to be the perfect getaway . . . but when the storm hits, no one is getting away
It's winter in the Catskills and Mitchell's Inn, nestled deep in the woods, is the perfect setting for a relaxing--maybe even romantic--weekend away. It boasts spacious old rooms with huge woodburning fireplaces, a well-stocked wine cellar, and opportunities for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, or just curling up with a good murder mystery.
So when the weather takes a turn for the worse, and a blizzard cuts off the electricity--and all contact with the outside world--the guests settle in and try to make the best of it.
Soon, though, one of the guests turns up dead--it looks like an accident. But when a second guest dies, they start to panic.
Within the snowed-in paradise, something--or someone--is picking off the guests one by one. And there's nothing they can do but hunker down and hope they can survive the storm--and one another.

slow book, not that exciting
Read “one by one” by Ruth ware for a better version of a similar story
1 Star
If I can offer a suggestion to anyone interested in this book, purchase a hard copy.
I bet it’s a great story. I’ve suffered through as much as I can (2 hours I think).
With 4 hours left, I have to shut it off and give up.
As other reviewers have shared, this narrator is terrible!!! She has such a monotone, deep voice that it does not make for enjoyable listening. It’s robotic, and she does not ease into characters as they change. She reads the next character from the same breath and it’s SO FRUSTRATINGLY HARD TO FOLLOW! Blah!
I hate that I spent the money on this. I’ll be watching for her name on future narrations from now on.
Very Disappointed
Story was slow and so many fillers, unnecessary longgg descriptions of events with no relevance. The end was not too predictable but did not answer all the questions. Finally the narrator was too monotone in my opinion. I like the author very much so this was very disappointing.
