Summary
Twelve years ago, eight friends ran an exclusive group at university: The Murder Masquerade Society. The mysteries they solved may have been grisly, but they were always fictional - until their final Christmas Masquerade, when one of the group disappeared, never to be seen again.
Now, the remaining members of the group receive an invitation to a reunion masquerade, to be held in a beautiful and remote country house in Scotland. When they arrive they are each assigned a new identity themed around the Twelve Days of Christmas - they become Lady Partridge or Mr Gold; Lord Leapworth or Doctor Swan. The game begins, and it feels just like old times.
Until the next morning, when Lady Partridge is found hanging from a pear tree.

Most enjoyable
I really did enjoy this well written book full of complex, and vile characters and situations. Well narrated book about a group of so called 'friends'. Lots of murders and tense situations In a country house complete with snow storm. I think I will probably be in the minority, but didn't really love the ending and found it a bit convoluted, thrown together with way too much going on. I would definitely recommend this and look forward to another book by this author.

Excellent Christmas whodunnit
We thoroughly enjoyed this story.
A traditional 1930s style who dunnit that is brought up to date and applied for 2023. Very well constructed that keeps you guessing to the end on who, how and why, Lots of red herrings, strong, believable characters
The story is extremely well narrated, really adds to the atmosphere and enhances the story.

Seemed to go on forever
I bought this on sale and very glad didn't spend full price. It seemed to go on forever and I did not like the way it was written. However I got to the end as I needed something to listen to while crafting. I won't buy another by this author.

Unlikeable characters - didn’t finish it!
Sorry but could not finish this book. Got half way through and just struggled to stay interested or invested in any of the characters. They are just all so unlikeable

More of a charade than a masquerade
It started off promising but the characters just were not likeable and the story was too convoluted. I lost interest but finished it. The fate of the villain wasn’t believable. The narration was good given what the reader had to work with.
