On the way to a winter vacation in the Rockies, the bus breaks down, and then people start dying.

It's a simple premise, but this was so gripping. Bodies just kept showing up, and the clues kept pointing at everyone. The twist really got me! When  it was explained, I couldn't believe I didn't get catch it. Coates does a great job leading you in 5 different directions and keeps you guessing. The reason why is always important to me and I really liked this one. 

This is a solid winter thriller. I would recommend reading it in summer and maybe not during a snowy night.
