AS FEATURED ON BBC RADIO 2: 'Properly gripping' Romesh Ranganathan

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER from the number one bestselling author of THE COUPLE NEXT DOOR.

We can't choose the strangers we meet.

As the guests arrive at beautiful, remote Mitchell's Inn, they're all looking forward to a relaxing weekend deep in the forest, miles from anywhere. They watch their fellow guests with interest, from a polite distance.

Usually we can avoid the people who make us nervous, make us afraid.

With a violent storm raging, the group finds itself completely cut off from the outside world. Nobody can get in - or out. And then the first body is found . . . and the horrifying truth comes to light. There's a killer among them - and nowhere to run.

Until we find ourselves in a situation we can't escape. Trapped.

Entertaining atmospheric whodunnit.

I guessed the killer about halfway through the novel but enjoyed the twists and turns along the way (which threw up many potential suspects). The narration was superb.

Modern Day Agatha Christie

It was no 'And Then There Was One' but It did keep me guessing until the end. I did enjoy it.

Good murder mystery

This book kept me guessing to the end I was positive he murderer was someone else. Very good book although I wasn’t keen on the narration.

It was okay. Not that interesting. Not a good ending, double suspense.
No more to say.

I felt like I was actually there!

The build up of learning about the characters was deftly done. Chilling in parts. Didn't want it to end.

Probably not as enjoyable on audiobook

I have read a few Shari Lapena books but this is the first Audiobook I have listened to. I’m not sure if I would have enjoyed this more if I had been reading myself. I did enjoy parts and i must say that it did feel like a real who dunnit. I did find the ending a bit disappointing. The characters were all good, some likeable from the start and others not so much. I will still read more by this author.

Mmmmm....... too contrived & implausible for me

I had high hopes for this but was sadly bored although I do want to know who the killer was it was very drawn out
