Ethan, my older son suggested this for me. It's a kind of dark comedy with a reliable narrator who constantly breaks the fourth wall to address his readers and tantalize them with clues.
Harking back to Agatha Christie and the Golden Age of Detective Fiction, the character are marooned at a ski resort --and people keep dying. The author/narrator plays fair--the clues are all there.
It's a fun read, especially for a fan and/or writer of the genre.

Oh goodie, a good book referral. I've already got 6 started, and two will expire from the library soon. And I truly want to read each of them! None are mysteries however.
I enjoyed it very much, and also the two books that followed.Everyone on This Train has a cast made up of writers, agents, and publishers, which was fun to read.
I'll have to read the next two.
I’ve read all three. He plays fair with the reader and it’s fun to match wits with him as well as enjoy the quirky characters. FYI, do you read Anthony Horowitz? He has two terrific traditional mystery series.
