El nuevo y electrizante thriller de la autora de La pareja de al lado.«Un novela que enorgullecería a Agatha Christie»- USA Today.Los huéspedes que van llegando al encantador y remoto hotelito Mitchell's Inn se observan mutuamente con interés, pero desde una prudente distancia. Todos ellos han recalado allí en busca de un relajante (quizá hasta romántico) fin de semana en medio del bosque y lejos de sus vidas. Pero cuando una violenta tormenta azota las montañas, el grupo se ve completamente aislado del resto del mundo. Nadie puede entrar… ni salir. Entonces descubren el primer cadáver, y la horrible verdad sale a la luz. Tienen a un asesino entre ellos.
