unwanted guest

A weekend at a cozy mountain hotel is supposed to be the perfect escape... but when a bad storm hits, there's no escape. Set in the winter in the Catskill Mountains, the Mitchell Hotel, nestled deep in the woods, is the perfect place for a quiet—or romantic—weekend away from the city. The hotel boasts spacious, old-fashioned rooms with wood-burning fireplaces and a well-stocked wine cellar. There's also the opportunity to go cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, or just settle in with a killer murder mystery. So when the weather turns bad and the blizzard knocks out the power—and with it, all contact with the outside world—guests stay put. They soon discover one of their guests has died, and it all looks like an accident. But when a second guest dies, panic sets in. Inside this idyllic place, trapped by snow, something—or someone—is killing off the guests one by one, and there's nothing they can do but prepare. To face the danger and hope to survive the storm.
