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.

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.

Entertaining atmospheric whodunnit.

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

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.

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.

Probably not as enjoyable on audiobook

This was a little bit akin to And Then There Were None, though I can’t credit it with being in Christie “golden age of murder” league! But it was a good audio page turner, nicely ticking plot, well narrated and genuinely kept me listening to get to the denouement. Would make a good TV film.

Good little mystery
