Another good one by Shari Lapena. I love the setting, which is a perfect read in the winter months. I also really enjoyed the mix of characters staying at the hotel. The mysteries continue throughout the story until the very end.

Imitation of Agatha Christie's style but not that good. I got tired because it was repetitive, characters were flat and the ending was unsatisfying. It was 230 pages and the explanation was wrapped up in 5 pages.

Good idea for the plot. Poorly executed. Too many undeveloped characters for my liking. Was hard to keep track of who was who. Found myself reading faster to finish it quicker and finished the book with a shrug as I cared little for the outcome
