I loved this Thriller so much. A great read for these hot summer days. Reminded me of middle school and high school ski trips and was the perfect level of chilling for me.

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.
