I liked the plot structure. I really like dual timelines, and the decision to withhold the victim's identity. And how so many characters felt like legitimate suspects. If you want a book with likeable characters, keep looking. I think this is the aspect of the genre that stops me from truly loving it. The mystery keeps me reading, but I never get all that invested in the characters.

* A unlikeable and over privileged group of friends in an isolated location (this time an exclusive Scottish highlands lodge for NYE), cut off by the weather
* skeletons in the closet and secrets in the group
* multiple POVs (some more unlikeable than others)
