Many thanks to NetGalley, Gallery/Scout Press, and Ruth Ware for the opportunity to read and review her latest thriller - 5 stars! When you read comparisons of Ruth Ware to Agatha Christie, they are dead on. This was such a good thriller with multiple suspects.
Snoop, an online music app, is having a company meeting at a remote chalet in the French Alps. There is talk of an investor buyout that would make some of the group very wealthy but the decision is split amongst them. Danny and Erin are the only employees of the chalet and are in charge of the group's week with them, from cooking and cleaning to keeping them happy. But when an avalanche hits and they are snowed in, things quickly take a bad turn and survival becomes questionable. And one by one, people are dying.
The remote setting and the winter weather put you in the perfect mood for this intriguing whodunit. Add an avalanche that takes away all communication and power and you are stranded with people you can't trust and the suspense really amps up. The story is told from alternating viewpoints of Erin, the chalet employee, and Liz, the outsider of the Snoop group. I loved how their Snoop account details prefaced each book - you'll understand the significance of that as you read. I think this is Ware's best book yet - loved it!
