From Ruth Ware, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of In a Dark, Dark Wood, The Woman in Cabin 10, The Lying Game, The Death of Mrs. Westaway, and The Turn of the Key, comes her highly anticipated sixth novel.Getting snowed in at a luxurious, rustic ski chalet high in the French Alps doesn’t sound like the worst problem in the world. Especially when there’s a breathtaking vista, a full-service chef and housekeeper, a cozy fire to keep you warm, and others to keep you company. Unless that company happens to be eight coworkers…each with something to gain, something to lose, and something to hide. When the cofounder of Snoop, a trendy London-based tech startup, organizes a weeklong trip for the team in the French Alps, it starts out as a corporate retreat like any other: PowerPoint presentations and strategy sessions broken up by mandatory bonding on the slopes. But as soon as one shareholder upends the agenda by pushing a lucrative but contentious buyout offer, tensions simmer and loyalties are tested. The storm brewing inside the chalet is no match for the one outside, however, and a devastating avalanche leaves the group cut off from all access to the outside world. Even worse, one Snooper hadn’t made it back from the slopes when the avalanche hit. As each hour passes without any sign of rescue, panic mounts, the chalet grows colder, and the group dwindles further…one by one.

"There were some suspenseful moments but overall it was just kind of a mid thriller. It was an easy read though. "

"I really appreciated the icy atmosphere of this story: nothing is more scary than isolation on a mountain resort with frostbite slowly creeping in. I enjoyed the dual narration between characters Erin and Liz, and found the dynamics between the corporate coworkers equal parts interesting and comedic in their frivolousness. The plot twist was expected but still shocking, and the resolution satisfying. Would definitely recommend to others. Reads like a lifetime movie, if that provides you with any context as to the reading experience. "
"3,5/5
I liked this thriller because it was fast-paced and interested me in trying to solve the mystery. The snowed-in atmosphere added to the anxiety and chaos, especially when there's a whole avalanche that causes the power is out, and people are getting picked off one by one.
The action never really got boring because you were just waiting for the other shoe to drop for the characters tho it was a dread reading about them because not a single one had a redeeming quality except the two who worked at the ski lodge, so for me there really wasn't any high stakes for them being killed off if anything I was like at this point take them all out lol but the ending was pretty good overall it wasn’t that bad just fell a little flat it was a fun ride though."
"Very quick read for the amount of pages! Was a little predictable but I still enjoyed this read very much! "
