Reminiscent of Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None" this seasonal murder mystery takes us to a remote Hebridean Island where Millie thinks she is going to be partying with old colleague Nick and a host of glamorous guests. But the Scottish manor is run down, and there are only five other guests - one of whom she recognises as another old colleague, Penny. She knows nothing of the others, but gradually it becomes clear that they are all in some way linked, and have been brought together for a reason. Then the murders begin .... will Millie survive?
With a thrilling and well-paced plot, the author also created a tense and creepy atmosphere, and the characters were all sufficiently fleshed out to make them all interesting if not wholly empathetic. There were enough clues to give the reader that satisfied "ah yes" moment at the ending.
It got a bit gruesome at times, but overall this was a really good read.
