Bellweather Rhapsody by Kate Racculia
5.0

This was a fantastic read. I loved the whodunit plot that revolves around a bunch of eccentric characters. There's a slew of teenagers on a music retreat, the organizer - a sociopath, a conductor with seven fingers, a teacher with a secret past, a woman who witnessed a murder in the hotel years ago on a quest to move on, and the unfailing concierge who has seen it all. They're eventually trapped in this grand old Shining-esque hotel during a snowstorm when another murder takes place. I love stories that flip back and forth between the past and present, and this one wove them together tantalizingly and seamlessly.
