Cutthroat Christmas

A gripping psychological thriller with a shocking twist

Five colleagues. One deadly Christmas party. No one leaves unpunished.

I thought I knew what guilt felt like.

I was wrong.

The invitation arrives two days before Christmas. A team-building weekend at a remote mountain lodge with my colleagues from VectorPoint. Our CEO, Gregory Armstrong, will be there. So will Daniel, Ethan, and Vanessa. The people I work with every day. The people I thought I knew.

But Gregory has been missing since Thanksgiving.

And Emma Heaton—the woman who tried to warn me, who begged for my help, who disappeared last December—is supposed to be dead.

The lodge is beautiful. Isolated. Locked from the inside.

There are seven gifts wrapped in brown paper waiting for us. Seven truths about what we did to Emma. Seven confessions we'll be forced to make. Because someone knows everything. Every lie. Every choice. Every moment we looked away when we should have helped.

The doors won't open.

The phones don't work.

And one by one, my colleagues start dying.

This isn't a holiday party. It's a reckoning. Someone is making us pay for what we did to Emma Heaton. For the harassment we ignored, the evidence we destroyed, the woman we failed. We told ourselves we were innocent. That we didn't know. That it wasn't our fault.

We were lying.

Now, trapped in a blizzard with a killer who knows all our secrets, I'm starting to remember things I've spent a year trying to forget. Things about the night Emma disappeared. Things I did. Things I can never undo.

The truth is coming.

And it's going to destroy us all.

Cutthroat Christmas is a psychological Christmas thriller with plenty of twists and a deeply unsettling ending that will stay with you long after the final page.
