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.
