A bit of a slow burn. It took a bit for me to get into the book, but after I got over the halfway point I didn’t want to put the book down! There weren’t any big reveals that were shocking imo, there’s a twist at the end that I didn’t expect but it also isn’t really a big part of the story. 
This one makes brings up some ethical questions to explore as well. 
Very atmospheric. A great wintery locked room mystery to help pass the time while you’re curled up somewhere warm on a snowy day.
