Many thanks to NetGalley and Embla Books for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest thriller by Caroline Mitchell. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars!
DI Alex McKenna, her partner, Matt, and her young son, George, head to the Isle of Skye for the weekend. Matt's plans for a romantic weekend to see the aurora borealis soon turns into a nightmare when they discover that their hotel has double booked. They check into the only hotel with rooms available nearby - The Loch House. With a very sordid past and reputation, things feel wrong from the beginning when the proprietors take away their phones and present them with a list of rules. Then the snow comes and they are trapped.
I really liked the way this story played out - we hear from multiple POV as well as transcripts from a true crime podcast. As the plot proceeded, the podcast filled in the back stories in a way that felt very natural. There were many creepy characters, as well as the creepy house itself, that left me chilled. You won't know who you can trust. Add a storm to a locked-room mystery and you have yourselves a great read! Another winner by Caroline Mitchell!
