absolutely loved the setting (name a better premise for a thriller than people disappearing / being found dead in a snowed-in ski resort); it was a little too obvious who the killer was too soon, but not to the point where it got boring

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.
