A group of people are invited to a wedding, which is taking place at a remote castle called Castle in the Clouds, high on a mountain top in the Colorado Mountains. Heroine Thea Sarazin goes because the girl getting married (Jenny) is a good friend and co-worker. (Thea is also curious to meet Jenny’s fiancé, Gregory Rosemont, who is a very reclusive, eccentric multi-millionaire. No one even knows what he looks like.) Hero Spence Cannon is invited to the wedding and goes because he knows Thea will be there. (They broke up five years ago and Spence wants another chance with Thea). At the bottom of the mountain they meet the handful of other guests who are invited to the wedding, and the butler who greets them. They are told to leave their cell phones and laptop computers behind. They ride in a ski gondola up to the castle. But when they get there they discover no one is there, the place is deserted. They find Jenny’s wedding gown with blood on it. Then a disembodied voice speaks to them, telling them that they were invited because they wronged someone and if they don’t repent they will die…

This was a really captivating and fun read. I’ve always enjoyed the storyline where a group of people are stuck together in one place and one of them could be the murderer, with everyone suspecting each other. I liked when the ski gondola crashed and there was no escape from the castle except going down the treacherous mountain so they were stuck in the castle. The cast of characters/suspects was interesting…a reverend, a world-class freestyle skier, the mysterious butler who carried a gun… This story kept me guessing, wondering if I was right about the villain…

A suspenseful read with an exciting conclusion! ( )
