During the long New Year holidays, a company of old friends heads into the remote Scottish wilderness. Celebrating New Year together is a tradition that goes back to their university days. Now they’re all over thirty, their life paths are gradually separating, but the tradition remains unchanged: at the end of each year, friends gather in some unusual—and always new—place. This time they go to a secluded manor in Scotland, where, as promised, there won’t be anyone else besides them. A few days among breathtakingly beautiful landscapes, with the best of friends who know each other inside out—what could be better? Or worse?… On New Year’s Eve, one of them will disappear. And by morning, a snowstorm will begin, reliably isolating the manor from the rest of the world.
“Boar House” is a sealed-room detective in the spirit of Agatha Christie, with a psychological immersion into the depths of human nature, in the vein of Tana French’s work.
