Thanks to #netgalley and #berkleypublishing for this free copy - the opinions are my own.
This debut novel is a version of a locked room mystery except it's a town contained in a single building. An Anchorage cop gets stranded by a storm in this little village in a building. While she's waiting for the roads to clear she gets involved in a murder mystery and it seems everyone in the building has secrets, including her. It's a good police procedural with plenty of interesting characters. Each chapter alternates between the various characters and I quickly identified them each by their quirks. A solid mystery, good characters, fast paced, a very good debut. I'll be reading more.
