From Little Stack
Fancy a mystery that traps you right alongside its characters, An Unwanted Guest by Shari Lapena is deliciously tense reading. The novel drops you into a cosy Catskills mountain lodge where guests arrive expecting roaring fires, snowy views, and a relaxing weekend. Instead, a brutal blizzard cuts the inn off from the outside world, knocking out power and communication, turning the lodge into a perfect locked-room setting.
When one guest is found dead and another soon follows, panic sets in. With roads blocked, phones useless, and no way to call for help, the killer has to be someone inside the inn. The snowbound isolation ramps up the tension, forcing suspicious strangers to rely on one another while wondering who might strike next. The shifting viewpoints and mounting paranoia create a gripping, claustrophobic puzzle that keeps readers guessing.
If you enjoy classic Agatha Christie-style mysteries with a modern, fast-paced edge, this one is the perfect storm.
Another thrilling domestic suspense novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Couple Next Door and Not a Happy Family.
A weekend retreat at a cozy mountain lodge is supposed to be the perfect getaway . . . but when the storm hits, no one is getting away.
It's winter in the Catskills and Mitchell's Inn, nestled deep in the woods, is the perfect setting for a relaxing--maybe even romantic--weekend away.
It boasts spacious old rooms with huge woodburning fireplaces, a well-stocked wine cellar, and opportunities for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, or just curling up with a good murder mystery.
So when the weather takes a turn for the worse, and a blizzard cuts off the electricity--and all contact with the outside world--the guests settle in and try to make the best of it.
Soon, though, one of the guests turns up dead--it looks like an accident. But when a second guest dies, they start to panic.
Within the snowed-in paradise, something--or someone--is picking off the guests one by one. And there's nothing they can do but hunker down and hope they can survive the storm--and one another.
