Nine people have plans to spend the weekend at a secluded inn up in the Catskills. A snowstorm rolls in and they are more isolated than they hoped for, and on the morning one of the guests are found dead at the bottom of the stairs, but was it really an accident?

I’m a sucker for the snowed in trope.

A quick read, feels a little like fast food in book form. You finish it fast but you don’t feel full or nourished.

Story uses several POVs and feels like a story told before, doesn’t bring anything new to the table.

SPOILER: I found it so funny how they left the body at the bottom of the stairs and walked around it. Reminded me of Clue or similar movies, it was great.
