A sudden snowstorm traps everyone just as Aoki begins to piece together each guest's connection to an unsolved disappearance years prior.Trapped by the snow, the retreat becomes a maze of stone walls, a geisha's seduction, and bloody murders in the night.

This elegant and intelligent mystery steadily draws the reader into its thrall, as the plot twists its way to a surprising and violent conclusion.

Canberra Times

Browne always demonstrates a capacity to surprise with plot and prose.

The Bulletin

A classic locked-room mystery. Browne presents a cast of enigmatic characters, a clash of the traditional and the modern, a dogged investigator who finds poetry in chaos and despairs of a case that is like trying to grab hold of smoke.
