Requesting suggestions: Thrillers where groups of people are stranded/snowed in/etc

[Roxanna]

I am looking for books that are thrillers where groups of people are stranded or snowed in or something similar. Even if they're bad I always still enjoy them.

White and Other Tales of Ruin (title story)
Mind of Winter

Thanks, will add to my to-read list!

The rockabilly werewolf from Mars wrote: "Dead White. 80s horror novel about a snowbound village besieged by clowns. Might be tricky to find, though; I don't think it's in print right now."

Hopefully my library can find it, looks like it's got some nostalgia to it too.

The Mousetrap, it's a play though. As far as I remember Christie has also (first?) written a short story called Three Blind Mice, with the same plot.

Didn't I mention The Shining?

Three Blind Mice for Nente's link.

John Dickson Carr's The Hollow Man/The Three Coffins is set in a snowstorm, but it's more of a straight locked-room mystery, not a "thriller." Likewise Murder on the Orient Express.

I haven't read it (yet!), but 1222 seems to fit the bill.

Thanks! I definitely read The Shining although I consider that horror not a thriller, perhaps thriller isn't the right designation? Adding the Agatha Christie and will check out 1222 as well!

Thank you; I added this to my list!

I'm reading Go To My Grave right now and loving it. No snow, but a group of people away on vacation being suspicious :) I probably should have broadened my topic request!

Not exactly what you’re looking for, but you might like Oblivion Road.

Whiteout

[Sasha]

I haven't personally read it but you could check out The Snowman by Jo Nesbo

[Jalayne]

I haven't read it yet, but this synopsis sounds cool. Sleep

Thanks, I've always wanted to read this author. I recall hearing good things about this book.

I don't usually read this type of book but it looks great so I will try it!!

This looks good. Added it to my list!

Yes, I read this and loved it, exactly the type of book I'm interested in.

Thanks all!

I'm a bit unclear on what constitutes a thriller vs. a mystery, but you might like the classic And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie.

@Gillian:
"unclear on what constitutes a thriller vs. a mystery"
As I am not too fond of putting things in a box, I wonder that myself, but my guess is this distinction:
a mystery is slower, also sometimes less bloody, less brutal (although with some of Agatha Christies books you have to wonder).
A page-turner is for me a thriller.
And while you can have a cozy mystery, I think a cozy thriller would be a contradiction in terms.

And just to throw it in, I started The Bat and Snowman after watching the movie The Snowman could not finish both, the first one got 1 star from me, Snowman I wanted to read further until rating it, but did not yet - so count that also as DNF.
Quite sure that Jo Nesbø is not for me (surprised about the hype he gets).

[Rosa]

The difference is that a mystery has a mystery.
Thrillers don't always.

@Ingo, @Rosa Thanks!

I have read this one about 30 years ago - ? I should read again!
