It all comes down to the bones!
Twenty-five years ago, a student went missing and a professor died while looking for her at Briarwood College. Now the college president is holding an event to honor the victims of that tragic incident. Alumni and donors have gathered for the event as has a winter storm! Many depart before the storm gets worse, but the alumni decide to stay not knowing that amongst them is a killer!
The cold snowy setting set the stage and brought on the atmosphere and trapped feeling that I enjoy in books. I enjoyed the past and present sections of the book. This was a nice touch and I enjoyed reading about the characters during their college days. The mystery of the bones and whodunit was enjoyable but not as chilling as I expected. I didn’t connect with any of the characters so when things began to happen, I was apathetic. As I mentioned, I did enjoy the atmosphere and I always enjoy doing my own super sleuthing while reading. I was not even close to figuring out whodunit, so the reveal was a nice shock at the end.
Atmospheric with a great reveal.
