An Unwanted Guest

An Unwanted Guest Shari Lapena paperback copyright 2018 290 pages ISBN 9780525557647 A weekend retreat at a cozy mountain lodge is supposed to be the perfect getaway . . . but when the storm hits, no one is getting away — It's winter in the Catskills and Mitchell's Inn, nestled deep in the woods, is the perfect setting for a relaxing -- maybe even romantic -- weekend away. It boasts spacious old rooms with huge woodburning fireplaces, a well-stocked wine cellar, and opportunities for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, or just curling up with a good murder mystery. So when the weather takes a turn for the worse, and a blizzard cuts off the electricity -- and all contact with the outside world -- the guests settle in and try to make the best of it. Soon, though, one of the guests turns up dead -- it looks like an accident. But when a second guest dies, they start to panic. Within the snowed-in paradise, something -- or someone -- is picking off the guests one by one. And there's nothing they can do but hunker down and hope they can survive the storm -- and one another.
