When Millie is invited to an exclusive New Year’s party by an ex-colleague and crush she’s delighted at the opportunity to shake off a bad year with a special occasion. But, the party doesn’t live up to expectations. No crush and the only ex-colleague is one she feels guilty about how they parted. Then people start dying.
A short, fast-paced example of the seemingly unconnected strangers trapped together in an isolated location trope.
Millie is a good main character, although she did wear on my nerves at times. There were enough red herrings to make sure everyone was a suspect, and the final resolution was a satisfying one.
A good option if you’re looking for a short thriller.
