This novel is intriguing from the outset Viv and Margo are covered in blood standing over a corpse - immediately I wanted to know the who, what and why? The story goes back to a couple of months before and there are twists and turns but they are predictable, even down to the killers identity. It was well written and the dialogue itself was good but it was a little in credulous in places.

Thanks to Harper Collins and Netgalley for sending me this in exchange for an open and honest review.

A gem of a book beautifully written, a lovely insightful and unique portrait of societies misfits.

An inspiring novel about friendship and support. Two flawed but fascinating people who are thrown together in unexpected circumstances and the outcome is not as you might imagine. It was an unusual and satisfying read, with the perfect reminder never to judge a book by it’s cover.

It is a warm hearted sparkling gem of a book

Enjoyable, light, easy read with heart and a with a few far-fetched storylines.

Effortless writing and a gripping plot, making it unputdownable!

I loved the idea trapped in a isolated hotel in a snow storm with a killer, unable to contact the police or the rest of outside world! It was very reminiscent of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient (whom is an all time favourite!). I found it was a bit slow in places. But overall I enjoyed it and I didn’t guess the killer I haven’t read this author before, but would certainly pick up her others

It is an intriguing at the start but not gripping enough to hold my interest throughout. The ending was very odd (I can’t say more without spoilers!) It didn’t live up to all the hype for me.

I loved the concept! And I really wanted to love it (We Are All Made of Stars by Rowan Coleman is one of my favourite books). But I found it a bit disappointing it wasn’t as absorbing as expected it to be and the storyline was a bit flat.
