'The horror on the train, great though it may turn out to be, will not compare with the horror that exists here, in this house.’

On Christmas Eve, heavy snowfall brings a train to a halt near the village of Hemmersby. Several passengers take shelter in a deserted country house, where the fire has been lit and the table laid for tea – but no one is at home.

Trapped together for Christmas, the passengers are seeking to unravel the secrets of the empty house when a murderer strikes in their midst.

This classic Christmas mystery is republished for the first time since the 1930s, with an introduction by the award-winning crime writer Martin Edwards.

Mystery in White is is the 12th title in the British Library crime classics series. Also available as an ebook here

气氛营造的很好，看完之后晚上梦到自己在雪地里打转儿，把我给急的~

可能是期待过高，老实说不如想象中的好.前半部分看的颇有些摸不着头脑，但后半部分气氛极佳，特别是熄灯后那部分开始非常让人入戏，就是真相处理的太过平淡了点.人物方面塑造很成功，最喜欢bore和smith吵架那段.

怪不得bobo和fang大都说像《啤酒之家》，线索寥寥的情况下，推理几乎全靠脑补，倒也不得不说很是精彩。本书的真相很是复杂，多个事件交织，plot也难免存在部分巧合。故事有趣，气氛尚佳，前段略显拖沓。

真的是英国版的啤酒之家冒险啊，语言太幽默了我在火车上憋着不让自己笑出来orz...虽然不完美但是布局很复杂，够得上5星
