A classic mystery. I loved unraveling the clues and getting to make my guess of who-dunnit. The pace was good, building enough tension with small moments that keep you going, and then the ending was at the perfect time that there was a decent amount of denouement and wrapping up. An enjoyable read!

Loved the setting and a few of the characters as well as the app- it was a fun idea that was fleshed out well. I didn't like the reveal- the killer's characterization took such a sharp turn from what it had been which felt lame, and the motivation ultimately didn't feel quite strong enough.

Pensive, mysterious, uneasy

A music app company has rented out a chalet for their upper level managers and shareholders to discuss company logistics and future direction. 
We're following two POVs. One character worked for the music app company, and one is a staff member at the chalet. 
Set in the French Alps.

Growls, Howls, and Tail Wags 🐺🐕:

• 👍 Pacing was consistent. There were action-adventure survival elements without being OTT, cheesy, "as if" or dragging on and on. 
• 👍 Possible predictable villain, but enough red herrings for doubt to form. I guessed correctly in that way where I technically guessed EVERYONE was a suspect at some point. Even when I knew who was causing chaos I wanted to keep reading to see how things play out. 

Cred Rating: Realistic/Plausible

Mood Reading Match Up:

• Isolated setting
• Locked door/closed circle murder mystery
• Modern Agatha Christie retelling energy
• Snowy winter vibes with skiing and snowboarding 

 

Content Head-Up: Sexual harassment. Blackmail. Avalanche.

Format: Paperback
