Descriere

'The twist will make you rethink everything.' New York Times Book Review
'A murder mystery set at a cosy Christmas country estate? We're so here for it.' 
Cosmopolitan
'Funny, clever and gripping.' 
Irish Independent

When Ashley Smith - a bright-eyed but lonely American studying in London - is invited to spend Christmas with her classmate's family at their Cotswolds manor house, it seems like a perfect country idyll.

And for Ashley - who records it all in her diary - there's the added romantic potential of her friend's twin brother, Adam, who she thinks could be her wildest dream come true.

But is there something strange about the old house, both stately and rundown? What could the motives of the mysterious Chapman family be? And what holiday horrors might be lying in wait?

Recenzii

Delicious . . . I defy you to stop reading once you've begun . . . The twist will make you rethink everything. ― New York Times Book Review

[A] clever little stocking filler from Peter Swanson . . . it pulls off the slickest of twists. ― Times, 'Thriller of the Month'

Swanson is a genius, and this is one of those stories that will remain embedded in your memory forever as it's funny, clever, sinister, and extremely gripping. ― Irish Independent

The nights are drawing in, holidays are coming, and I just devoured this seasonal treat from Peter Swanson in a single sitting. A chilling gem that's going to make a perfect stocking filler this Christmas. Loved it. -- Mark Edwards

A punchy thriller . . . Swanson has plenty of knockout twists up his sleeve . . . This is a perfect introduction to one of the cleverest talents in contemporary genre fiction. ― Publisher's Weekly, starred review

That master of the gently perverse, Peter Swanson, does not let us down . . . Swanson has a mischievous knack for twisting expectations . . . I love the way Swanson displays an affection for all the classic mystery writing tropes and then gleefully subverts them. Short but sweet and one to relish. ― Crime Time

Swanson elegantly constructs his story to keep us on edge to the end, in suspense and constantly second guessing what is to come . . . The shifts in the narrative are genuinely thrilling and a tad disturbing [He] mischievously subverts expectations and outcomes. ― Crime Fiction Lover
