Blurb:
On a dark and stormy December night my family are gathered at an isolated hotel in the English countryside. We’re reuniting for the first time since the accident that shattered our lives ten years ago.
It’s a time for love and forgiveness. But more than one guest has an ulterior motive:
The perfect daughter
The alcoholic
The single mother
The liar
The handsome husband
The adulterer
The beautiful sister
The jealous sibling
The murderer…
As the clock strikes midnight, one member of our party is found dead at the foot of the grand marble staircase.
Everyone is a suspect. But which one of us is a killer?
This completely addictive psychological thriller from bestselling author Mikayla Davids is packed with chilling twists that will keep you up all night! Perfect for fans of Lucy Foley, Lisa Jewell and Ruth Ware.
This story can be enjoyed as a standalone.

On a snowy December night, just days before Christmas, the Bailey family gathers at a luxurious boutique hotel in the English countryside—reunited for the first time since the accident that shattered their lives a decade ago. It should be a time for love and forgiveness, but one guest has a hidden agenda. As the clock strikes midnight, tragedy strikes, and one family member is found dead at the foot of the grand marble staircase.
What I loved most about this book was the multiple perspectives, not just from different characters but across different timelines as well. It added depth to the story and kept me guessing until the very end. The characters were beautifully flawed, which made the narrative feel dark, dramatic, and full of tension. While the premise wasn’t particularly innovative, the family drama was spot-on, and the suspense worked seamlessly with the plot. My only gripe was the ending. It’s definitely not a standalone book— the cliffhanger left me wanting more, and I’ll need to read the sequel to fully unpack the Bailey family’s secrets.

A good little thriller - a fast and easy read, especially to take a break from all the Christmas romcoms and cozies and general content out there! I felt like it was the palate cleanser I needed.
