I DNFed The Guest List, so I went into this book with very low expectations. And, while I had criticisms about this book, it definitely is an intriguing mystery. It follows a group of guests who go on vacation to a hunting lodge in Scotland in the winter, right before a fierce storm hits. I love the isolation mystery trope. However, all the guests are all either forgettable or insufferable. The two employees (Heather and Doug) at the lodge were the only characters I found interesting. Everyone else I could not care at all for. There is a good final twist, but the characters were obnoxious from beginning and ending. The main saving factor for me was the great suspense. I kept reading because I wanted to know the mystery's solution, especially considering we don't even know the victim until near the end, which shows that the book succeeded in the mystery factor even if it didn't for me with the characters.
