The retreat

Summary: Maeve Martin arrives at High Water Center for the Arts, a gorgeous lodge nestled deep in the Rocky Mountains, determined to do one thing: begin her own dance company. A retired performer and mother of two, she worries time is running out for her to find her feet again after the collapse of her disastrous -- and violent -- marriage. And at first there's the thrill of being on her own after so many years. Isolated in the snowy beauty of the retreat, Maeve can forget the ghost of her past for an hour, for a day. But when an avalanche strikes, Maeve finds herself trapped with six other guests. They've lost all power, phone service, heat, and the road back to town. At least there is a sense of camaraderie -- the fire is warm, the freezer well stocked. But as the days pass and the storm rages outside, tensions start to run high. Help is coming, so they just have to hold on, right? Then the first guest meets an unspeakable death. Followed by another. Soon Maeve must admit how little she knows about these strangers...and how useless a locked door is if the darkness is already inside. -- From back of case.
