A faded country house in the middle of nowhere. The guests are snowed in. The murders begin. Withering and waspish, Ursula Smart (not her real name) gate-crashes her mother's book club at an isolated country house for a long weekend retreat. Much to Mother's chagrin. Joining them are Mother's best friend, Mirabelle, Aunts Charlotte and Less, and Bridget with her dog Mr. Bojangles. It doesn't matter that they've read Gone Girl three times this year already, this retreat is their chance to escape bustling suburbia. But someone has other ideas. A body is found in the grounds. Is a lone killer hunting them? Or has one of their own group embarked on a killing spree? What they need is to stop sniping at each other long enough to solve the mystery before the killer strikes again. What they need is a guide to survive.… (altro)

What's the first thing you do when you find a dead body? Call for help? What if the phones and the internet are out? What if there are more dead bodies?

This updated take on the snowed-in murder mystery reminded me of an episode of Saved by the Bell when the crew went to a murder mystery weekend (without real murders). Of course, this idea isn't original, but Victoria Dowd gave it an update.

I liked the book but wish there had been some twist that set it apart from all of the other books and shows that have done this scenario.

Thank you Netgalley for letting me read this. This is my voluntary honest review. ( )

Pandora Smart arranges a weekend away for her book club, unfortunately her daughter Ursula decides to tag along, an unwanted addition to the gathering at this country house of Ambergris Towers.
Then the snow starts to fall, and while trying to find a way to the village a body is discovered in the garden. But this will not be the last.
Unfortunately I found all the characters to be irritating, and hoped that they would all be murdered by the end of the book. They certainly seemed to be a bunch of inept characters to investigate a murder, which might be the comic aspect of the story which totally past me by.
Overall I enjoyed the plot, but didn't like the characters
Received an ARC from the publisher ( )

A classic locked room murder with a twist. It was a locked english mansion, but all the inhabitants were locked in with a massive snow storm as the bodies pile up like cord wood. Snarky and sassy dialogue gives the reader a glimpse into the unusual characters as they argue, plot and try to figure out who the murderer is and why they were killing. ( )
