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.

why make the murderer one of the only two POVs that we get? Obviously she’s going to be important.

I'd recommend the audiobook if you can manage it. Imogen Church is a phenomenal narrator, and the climax of the action works SO WELL with the audio format.

I am a fan of Ruth Ware's writing and this did not disappoint. This was a fast paced Thriller ( I ended up reading most of this in one day) that had me from the first page. We see a company called Snoop go to a ski chalet to discuss the potential buy out of the company. As always everyone has their secret's and isn't who they say they are. On the second day they go off to ski and one of them ends up dying. To begin with they think this is a fatal accident but then slowly one by one they start dying. It is a race against time to find out who is the killer, and the best bit is that they are all stuck together after an avalanche blocks them into their chalet. This makes for great tension. I think that if you are a fan of "and then there were none" by Agatha Christie or "the guest list" by Lucy Foley then your probably gone to like this.

Entertaining, but not great. I predicted the whodunnit within the first few chapters and the big cast of characters we don’t really get to know. They were just kind of surface level and faceless. So I feel like this story had so much more potential that it didn’t make happen, which is a shame to be quite honest.
