Synopsis:
Way up in the Swiss mountains, there’s an old grand hotel steeped in tradition and faded splendor. Once a year, when the famous New Year’s Eve Ball takes place and guests from all over the world arrive, excitement returns to the vast hallways.
Sophie, who works at the hotel as an intern, is busy making sure that everything goes according to plan. But unexpected problems keep arising, and some of the guests are not who they pretend to be. Very soon, Sophie finds herself right in the middle of a perilous adventure―and at risk of losing not only her job, but also her heart.
Review:
Who doesn’t love a mystery set at a cozy, slightly eccentric, hotel in the mountains? I found this to be a sweet, funny, quick read. The cast was exciting and each one had their own air of mystery. The ending was exciting and unexpected. Though it did cater to one of my least favorite tropes, the love triangle, I didn’t feel as though it was overwhelmingly annoying. I enjoyed this one!
