The Murders At Lynch Cross

The Murders at Lynch Cross takes place at an out-of-the-way hotel in the English countryside. On its inaugural weekend, several guests show up who, rather inexplicably, seem to know it each other - but are reluctant to reveal exactly how. As the snow piles up outside the hotel, and the guests realize they're stuck there with no way out, it becomes immediately apparent that someone is bent on killing them all. All of the guests are nearly gassed in the locked dining room, and then Harry winds up butchered in the cellar freezer. How are these people connected and why does somebody want them all dead?
