About this listen
*The Sunday Times No.1 bestseller*
EVERYONE’S INVITED.
EVERYONE’S A SUSPECT.
AND EVERYONE’S TALKING ABOUT IT.
In a remote hunting lodge, deep in the Scottish wilderness, old friends gather for New Year.
The beautiful one
The golden couple
The volatile one
The new parents
The quiet one
The city boy
The outsider
The victim.
Not an accident – a murder among friends.

A guest goes missing and a body is found but it isn't revealed till later on who is murdered. The suspense keeps building up until we learn who by whom in the last few chapters.
The action takes place during a snow blizzard and which leaves the lodge cut off and to try and travel in the freezing rural conditions would certainly be dangerous in its self! Never mind stay at a lodge where there's been a murder! The description of the Scottish landscape was a joy and I was totally immersed...so much so I could almost feel the snow beneath my feet as I walked the dog through the woods whilst listening!
This novel is excellent, although the main characters are really unlikable, it held my attention right through. The author managed to keep me guessing as to who was laying dead and why. The twists kept coming and coming. Each chapter is told from the POV of the main female characters and Dougie the gamekeeper which I really liked.
Any way this book is worth a credit of anybody's money and certainly a re read/listen.
There's been a murder!

The story flits between present day when the body is discovered and the days leading up to the death. The story also considers the events from various different perspectives these include; the ground keeper, housekeeper and three guests.
I found the story interesting although I was slightly disappointed to realise that I had guessed correctly the identity of the body, the reasons behind the death and the killer about midway in the book. However there were some little extras within the plot which I had not seen coming which kept my interest.
I have read some other reviews of this book in which people had found it difficult to sympathise with the protagonists, finding them to be unlikable. I did not have this problem, instead I found them to be human. Yes they had some more unlikeable qualities but this, for me, made them more interesting and human. Although it is noted that in real life I probably would not be friends with them!
Overall I enjoyed the story and in particular the narration which I felt gave the plot and characters extra depth.
Enjoyable although a slightly predictable ending
