Very nice, tense and interesting book! I liked the 12 days of christmas anagram game alot, it made me read some of the chapters multiple times though since I was determined to find all of them. At the end of the book the plot started to get a bit all over the place and crazy and I feel like some of the things were crammed to the end but otherwise absolutely a great read!

A classic, tense, atmospheric whodunit with a dysfunctional family and a rising body count during a snowed-in, country-mansion inheritance game full of clues, puzzles, and the weight of the past, present, and future. Not entirely my cup of tea (I like my Christmas murder mysteries to have at least a little Christmas warmth and cheer 😆) but a good one for word-puzzlers who like to play along at home.
