Name: An Unwanted Guest
Rating: 4 (2 reviews)
Author: Shari Lapena

Mitchell’s Inn, a sprawling, wood‑fireplace‑backed lodge deep in the Catskills, provides an idyllic winter retreat for its guests. With well‑stocked wine, cross‑country skiing, and snowshoeing, the cabin feels like a perfect escape—until a sudden blizzard robs the inn of electricity and external communication. As the isolated guests settle in, a first death appears accidental, but a second murder escalates panic. Within the snowed‑in refuge, something—or someone—begins to finish off the group one by one, leaving the remaining survivors with no choice but to endure the storm and hunt for survival.
