About this listen

Lily Armitage never intended to return to Endgame House—the grand family home where her mother died twenty-one Christmases ago—until she receives a letter from her aunt, asking her to return to take part in an annual tradition: the Christmas Game. The challenge? Solve twelve clues to find twelve keys. The prize? The deeds to the manor house.

Lily has no desire to win the house. But her aunt makes one more promise: The clues will also reveal who really killed Lily's mother all those years ago. So for the twelve days of Christmas Lily must stay at Endgame House with her estranged cousins and unravel the riddles that hold the key not just to the family home but to its darkest secrets.

However, it soon becomes clear that her cousins all have their own reasons for wanting to win the house—and not all of them are playing fair. As a snowstorm cuts them off from the village, the game turns deadly. Soon Lily realizes she's no longer fighting for an inheritance, but for her life.

I enjoyed imagining Endgame house/manor! I loved the thought of the snow on the country landscape of Yorkshire.

I loved the thought of an old house in the countryside at Christmas, the winter snow. I so enjoyed the twist and turns of the plot, the maze of what’s to come. Excited to return to the book every chance I got! The English/British accent makes it even better! I would love to see a movie!

Recording Fixed!

The book is good and entertaining. Think Agatha Christie with a dash of wokeness. This equals a modern fun mystery that will keep the listener guessing. My previous review only had a problem with the recording itself, but they have added back the two chapters that they inadvertently left out.

Multiple mysteries gift wrapped in poetic prose

Even Ebenezer Scrooge could not have Bah Humbugged this clever mystery gift wrapped in poetic prose. Alexandra Benedict chooses her words as artfully as a composer chooses her notes which sets an eerie yet cozy mood for a modern gothic game of mysteries that turn to murders most foul.

Ana Clements soothing voice lulls the reader into believing this story is only about solving a cold case murder until the bodies begin to stack up and leading our protagonist into a ruthless game of survival.

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel from beginning to end and will add this to my annual Christmas collection. It deserves to be read and re-read.

Intriguing

Suspenseful! The ending is satisfying but a bit too abrupt. Still, perfect who folks that love a good Christmas mystery or mysteries in general. The narrator is excellent

When all the pieces came together

The story started out a bit slow but boy did it end with a BOOM! It was so intense and I was somewhat right about the killer. But this will never let you look at family and family at Christmas time the same ever again!

Light read. Very enjoyable.

Great accents from the reader. Enjoyable, Christmas, but not super Christmas (bc of the murdery nature).
