Un trepidante thriller en el que las viejas amistades no siempre son las mejores.
Fueron un grupo unido, alegre, divertido. Han pasado varios anos desde que dejaron la universidad, pero les gusta reunirse de vez en cuando. Este ano han elegido un idilico pabellon de caza en medio de las montanas de Escocia para pasar los ultimos dias del ano.
El viaje comienza de manera inocente: admirando el paisaje, bebiendo y recordando anecdotas del pasado. Sin embargo, el resentimiento y el peso de los secretos han ido creciendo. Creen que siguen siendo los mismos, cada uno en su papel, el de la guapa, o el de la silenciosa, o la pareja perfecta, o el outsider, pero el tiempo les ha cambiado.
Cuando se desata una tremenda tormenta de nieve el dia antes de Nochevieja, el grupo queda completamente aislado del mundo. Dos dias mas tarde, en el primer dia del ano, a uno de ellos le ha tocado el papel de victima. Entre ellos, hay otro que se ha convertido en un asesino.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Everyone’s invited…everyone’s a suspect…
For fans of Ruth Ware and Tana French, a shivery, atmospheric, page-turning novel of psychological suspense in the tradition of Agatha Christie, in which a group of old college friends are snowed in at a hunting lodge … and murder and mayhem ensue.
All of them are friends. One of them is a killer.
During the languid days of the Christmas break, a group of thirtysomething friends from Oxford meet to welcome in the New Year together, a tradition they began as students ten years ago. For this vacation, they’ve chosen an idyllic and isolated estate in the Scottish Highlands-the perfect place to get away and unwind by themselves. They arrive on December 30th, just before a historic blizzard seals the lodge off from the outside world.
Two days later, on New Year’s Day, one of them is dead.
The trip began innocently enough: admiring the stunning if foreboding scenery, champagne in front of a crackling fire, and reminiscences about the past. But after a decade, the weight of secret resentments has grown too heavy for the group’s tenuous nostalgia to bear. Amid the boisterous revelry of New Year’s Eve, the cord holding them together snaps.
Now one of them is dead … and another of them did it.
Keep your friends close, the old adage goes. But just how close is too close?
