Murder in White by Poitr Jedliński

"Murder in White" is a locked room murder mystery / whodunnit that set in a secluded hostel amidst the imposing Tatra Mountains of Poland. A blizzard of epic proportions cuts off the hostel from the outside world, trapping a group of nine strangers inside. Just as tensions begin to mount among the snowbound guests, a mysterious stranger arrives, seeking refuge from the storm. Shortly after this new arrival, a dead body is found on the top floor of the hostel, and it becomes clear that a murderer is among them. With no way to call for help, the remaining guests must unravel the secrets of their fellow travelers to identify the killer before another victim strikes. Jedliński balanced the psychological impact of the forced proximity of a murderer on the minds of the other guests and the over-the-top and irrational actions which follow from situations very well. A bit slow-moving and somewhat disjointed novel but a decent whodunnit. 3.5/5
