The Hunting Party
A group of old university friends travels to an isolated Scottish lodge for a New Year's reunion already strained by resentments and unequal lives. Heavy snow traps the guests with two staff members, and by New Year's Day one person is dead. Alternating perspectives reveal betrayals, rivalries, and private humiliations while postponing both the victim's identity and the killer's. Icy and tense, this mystery suits readers who enjoy remote lodges, toxic friendships, holiday gatherings gone wrong, and secrets exposed by people who have known one another too long.
