I enjoyed this mystery set on Christmas eve first in a snowbound train, then in an isolated house in the country. A group of travelers decide to leave the train and head for the nearest station, but lost in the worsening blizzard, they stumble upon a seemingly deserted country house. The fires are roaring and the table set for tea, but there are no inhabitants. Soon two more stranded passengers enter the door. Soon the doors are blocked by snow and the passengers are unable to leave. They begin to ponder why the house has no owner around, when murder strikes.
