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.
