10.24.2023 - The Lodge

The Lodge by Sue Watson

Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture & Bookouture Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the latest thriller by a favorite, Sue Watson, beautifully narrated by both Alison Campbell and Tamsin Kenner, and for including me on the blog tour for this book - 5 stars!

Fiona is invited to a birthday party at a lodge in Cornwall by her mother-in-law.  Fiona is still recovering from her divorce from Scott, and his subsequent remarriage to Danni and their new daughter.  But Angela intimates that this might be the last birthday they celebrate together, so for her and the sake of their two teenagers, Fiona agrees to go.  As everyone gathers, including a chef Angela hired who is actually known to the group in other ways, snow begins to fall.  Then the police show up at the door with news that there was a hit and run and someone in their group may be guilty.  They are told they have to stay put.  Tensions mount between everyone, and then someone goes missing.

I love locked-room, atmospheric mysteries and love Sue Watson's books, so this is an absolute winner for me.  There are a lot of characters and everyone is not exactly they seem to be.  One of the best parts?  The last sentence of the novel is a question to the reader - love that!  Grab a cozy blanket, curl up in your favorite chair and don't miss this one!
