In this propulsive locked-room thriller debut, a reunion weekend in the French Alps turns deadly when five friends discover that someone has deliberately stranded them at their remote mountaintop resort during a snowstorm.

When Milla accepts an off-season invitation to Le Rocher, a cozy ski resort in the French Alps, she's expecting an intimate weekend of catching up with four old friends. It might have been a decade since she saw them last, but she's never forgotten the bond they forged on this very mountain during a winter spent fiercely training for an elite snowboarding competition.

Yet no sooner do Milla and the others arrive for the reunion than they realize something is horribly wrong. The resort is deserted. The cable cars that delivered them to the mountaintop have stopped working. Their cell phones--missing. And inside the hotel, detailed instructions await them: an icebreaker game, designed to draw out their secrets. A game meant to remind them of Saskia, the enigmatic sixth member of their group, who vanished the morning of the competition years before and has long been presumed dead.

Stranded in the resort, Milla's not sure what's worse: the increasingly sinister things happening around her or the looming snowstorm that's making escape even more impossible. All she knows is that there's no one on the mountain she can trust. Because someone has gathered them there to find out the truth about Saskia...someone who will stop at nothing to get answers. And if Milla's not careful, she could be the next to disappear...

you think you know a person...

karma, guilt....each character struggled with many emotions. So many times I had changed my mind on the characters. just when you think you like someone, they change...and vice versa.

Her lisp but it was a good story

I could not stand the reader’s lisp but it was a great story and kept me on edge wanting to know what happened. It’s not a crime to lisp but she should not have been a reader. Drove me crazy!!
Curtis was Curtith
Crevice was cruvass
Glacier was glothia

felt familiar....

but still was good to listen to. I enjoyed the journey and I am a huge fan of the alternating time lines format. Even though I figured out the "whodunnit" part it didn't take away from the reveal. And I see a bunch of negative reviews for the in depth description of snowboarding, while I am not a sports fan AT ALL, I did find it interesting and needed for the storyline / characters. If you like whodunnit / isolated mysteries, then this is the book for you.

Great thriller

Enjoyed the drama of two women pushing each other further than they would go on their own. Also, the retribution that comes back to you if you treat others badly.

Not bad

Not a bad read at all. 3.5 stars rounded up. Closed door mysteries are always enjoyable. Mystery in the past, meets mystery in the future. What can go wrong?

Very Exciting!

Loved the book! Keeps you on the edge of your seat until the very end!

Somewhat unbelievable

But entertaining. Felt like it drug on forever at times. Still held my attention. I have read better murder mysteries.

Feel like snowboarding!

If you like the trill of snowboarding, mystery, & murders you'll like this story. I enjoyed the snowboarding in the Alps, love the atmosphere since I love to ski & snowboard. I admire those who are pros, the story gives you a look into their world. The narration was well done and I did like the switching past to present format. It worked well I think to that sense of fear, do you really know a person.

Great Book with a twist

This book was performed very well. I could feel the different characters come to life. the story line was unique and had a bit of a twist ending. I willed up reading this one again.

great read, great voice

It's just a fun summer thriller but I thought it was very well done, I liked the back-and-forth between the present day and 10 years ago, and the narrator does a great job on the Different regional British accents.
