Lo empecé por recomendación de mi hermana y, de verdad, qué buen tino: me ha tenido enganchada desde el primer día y no he tardado ni una semana en terminarlo de lo interesante que está. Me ha resultado muy entretenido, con personajes interesantes y una trama muy chula a lo Agatha Christie.

Thank you to NetGalley for this audio ARC.I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
I really enjoyed this. It was a fun little Christmassy murder mystery focused around a family that simply put do not get on. There are a couple that have good relationships with each other but for the most part they are quite a fractured family.
Brought together to play their family Christmas game invokes fierce competition, whilst most people are focusing on finding the keys in the game for Lily the stakes are higher. She isn't focused on the game at play, instead she is trying to find out the truth surrounding her mothers death.
Full of family secrets and riddles, this was a fun listen.

3.5 stars. Like a Christmas “and then there were none” but a bit more brutal and more predictable. The audio was really good
I hate being so critical, but this mystery felt so convoluted, the killer was predictable… but most of all the perspective of the main character was SO gloomy and grim. I’ve just finished this and I feel depressed! I might have liked it better if it hadn’t been recommended to me specifically as a cozy mystery (or if I hadn’t listened to the audiobook - the narrator kind of always sounded like she could cry at any moment)

Did I guess the murderer almost immediately? Yes. Does that mean I didn’t thoroughly enjoy this Christmas whodunnit filled with vivid descriptions and a competitive family game? Absolutely not!! If you aren’t into cheesy mystery books, this isn’t for you, but I was so delighted by this book.
