This was my first Peter Swanson read and it definitely will not be my last. 

A short and to the point novella that is perfect for this time of year. If you are looking for a holiday book that isn’t your typical ‘cheesy romance’ and has more mystery, twists and turns, then this is for you. 

At under 100 pages I promise you will fly through this story. An American college student gets invited to the English country side to spend Christmas with a family she hardly knows. What more could go wrong?

Told from some present day perspectives and mostly diary entries. This had me completely hooked. 

Would have made an amazing full length novel as well. 😍
