I loved the idea of it, especially being set in the mountains, but just don’t think it was executed well. The killer was obvious, the twist in Erin’s backstory was weird (it’s just sad, not anything damming), there were too many lackluster characters.

I thought this was an okay story. The beginning rundown of everyone at the company must work better in the physical book version than in the audiobook because I immediately forgot everyone. It would have made more sense to spread those little bios out over the first few chapters. It does feel like a lot of Ms. Ware's female characters hate themselves a whole bunch, which is a bummer.
