An Unwanted Guest by Shari Lapena

An Unwanted Guest by Shari Lapena
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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 for the long haul.

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.

My Thoughts:
This was hard to put down and I was trying to like all the characters and figure out if it is one of the guests or someone hiding out in the hotel. 3/4 of the way through I figured out who it was and I was right. But that's because I really paid attention to what was going on and who was where. The only person I did not like throughout the book was Henry. His wife was another person I wasn't fond of but I did understand where she was coming from. This was fast paced and an enjoyable read.
