A luxury mountaintop chalet
The opportunity of a lifetime
Until guests start to disappear…
**The unmissable new thriller from the queen of the modern-day murder mystery.**
Snow is falling in the exclusive alpine ski resort of Saint Antoine, as the shareholders and directors of Snoop, the hottest new music app, gather for a make or break corporate retreat to decide the future of the company. At stake is a billion-dollar dot com buyout that could make them all millionaires, or leave some of them out in the cold.
The clock is ticking on the offer, and with the group irrevocably split, tensions are running high. When an avalanche cuts the chalet off from help, and one board member goes missing in the snow, the group is forced to ask - would someone resort to murder, to get what they want?

This was my first real mystery/thriller book as far as I can remember. I really enjoyed it, even though the killer was not hard to figure out. I liked the multi-perspective and their characters. I didn't quite like them both having the same "something happened in my past" trope. Erin's even was quite farfetched in my opinion, it didn't really fit the story. If the part of her being a daughter of a marquess was left out I would have enjoyed it more, even more so because afterward there is barely any mention of it. Throughout the story, I kinda forgot some of the side-characters. This might be due to my speed in reading this book. I had a lot going on so I had to put the book down for a week. But even then I think the side-characters apart from a few like Topher, Eva, and Danny were quite forgettable.Overall I did really enjoy the story and it's a great introduction to the genre.
The story was predictable but was a good trip. Was drown out and repetitive in parts, but there were some good elements. My biggest gripe was the bit about the Snoop account at the start of every chapter. I get why they did it, but near the climax, as POVs were swapping fast, it grew annoying and repetitive.
This book was just okay. Another locked-room setup, another fairly standard whodunit. There are quite a few characters, but several fade into the background without adding much, and none are particularly well-developed. I’ve read many of Ruth Ware’s books, and while I can never seem to put them down until the culprit is revealed, they always leave me feeling like something’s missing—though I can’t quite pinpoint what. This one reminded me a lot of "The Hunting Party" by Lucy Foley, which I actually enjoyed much more.
