Very well-constructed murder mystery in a fabulous setting. It feels heavily inspired by Agatha Christie, but still a fresh and compelling plot. If you opt for the audiobook, the narrator does an absolutely fantastic job, especially with her portrayals of Liz and Erin.

My only real complaint is that it felt like the story felt a bit lacking in depth. The core story is quite strong, but at the end of the day, it didn't seem the author had a lot to say.

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.
