This book is amazingly written! All the characters have amazing descriptions and you can instantly imagine who they are, what they are like. I don’t want to go too much into the story and ruin the book but it is definitely a book I would recommend to anyone!
The introduction to all the characters definitely took abit to get going but it didn’t take away from the book at all. Trying to figure out the riddles was definitely an unexpected but enjoyable element of the book and I really appreciate the extra time and thought that would have gone into that!
The ending of this book was 100% unexpected and I think that made the book so much better, the fact that it wasn't predicted at all!

I will inevitably be reading this book again especially at Christmas time.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book from start to finish.
The book was based on clues being left around a family mansion, that family members had to solve which would lead them to a key. There were 12 keys to find, and a different clue for each, then one of those keys opened up the door to a secret room, which then meant that person who had that key, won the deeds to the house.
Obviously there was a lot more to it than that, including lots of whodunit murders, and lots of family tension.
I loved trying to work out the clues but honestly I was awful.
I have learnt one huge thing about myself reading this book...... You would never want me on your team in an escape room!!!

Painstakingly Plotted….
A festive murder mystery is always, always a delight and one that invokes the Golden Age is, for me at least, more so. A snowstorm, a village, a country house, an estranged family and a tradition- the Christmas Game. That tradition is soon to turn deadly and there will be more than an inheritance at stake. Uniquely told, a joy to read, painstakingly plotted and puzzles in which to participate - this is a modern take on the traditional Christmas Country House Murder Mystery. All good, festive fun.
