FINALIST FOR THE ITW THRILLER AWARD • AN ESQUIRE BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR

Hannah awakens to carnage, all mangled metal and shattered glass. After she was evacuated from a secluded boarding school during a snowstorm, her coach careered off the road, trapping her with a handful of survivors. They’ll need to work together to escape—with their sanity and secrets intact.

Meg awakens to a gentle rocking. She’s in a cable car stranded high above snowy mountains, with five strangers and no memory of how they got on board. They are heading to a place known only as “The Retreat,” but as the temperature drops and tensions mount, Meg realizes they may not all make it there alive.

Carter is gazing out the window of an isolated ski chalet that he and his companions call home. As their generator begins to waver in the storm, something hiding in the chalet’s depths threatens to escape, and their fragile bonds will be tested when the power finally fails—for good.

The imminent dangers faced by Hannah, Meg, and Carter are each one part of the puzzle. Lurking in their shadows is an even greater danger—one with the power to consume all of humanity.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Each of the nested stories features a murder, among other pulpy nastiness, but it’s the intricate way the narratives lock together that provides the most satisfying surprise. Tudor may be the queen of British crime fiction, but she’s gunning for the horror throne now.”—Esquire

“[A] tour de force . . . This is a masterpiece of its kind.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“A truly terrifying, ice-cold chiller from the master of macabre . . . C. J. Tudor should be on everyone’s must-read list.”—Chris Whitaker

Loved the german

There was a bit of German and I loved it. But other then that pretty good. It comes together in the end. Not the best of CJ Tudor in my option but I did enjoy it. Great snowy vibes

Solid story

Enjoyed the ride the story took me on and wanted it to last much longer. Worth your credit.

another awesome thriller from Tudor!

A bit confusing at the start from ties together nicely. A clever tale from one of my new favorites!

Almost lost me

Almost lost me when it felt like the story was taking place in the span of 5 minutes. Luckily it surprised me and got me back in. Great listen!

The Drift

This book was not at all what I expected. I read the description but the actual book had so much more. There was a lot going on. Three major plot lines, a plague, an evil force at work, a mysterious location, and frigid weather. It was reminiscent of The Passage in its tone and feel (the storylines were not similar). I’m glad I stuck with it. I think this is a story I will continue to think about.

Enjoyed it

Two out of the three narrators were great! The third wasn’t terrible by any means, just not spectacular.
Story surprises you, great concept ads characters. It was fun!

Engaging story

Incredible story. I could not predict where it was going. It was exciting and tragic.

Disappointed

Big CJ Tudor fan.. This one was disappointing and so hard to follow. Only came together at the very end. Disappointed at the virus theme.. had enough of that.

Good wintry mystery

3.5 stars rounded up to 4 stars for The Drift by CJ Tudor. This was a pretty good little wintry mystery. It's 3 separate events that are told simultaneously. There is a ski lift cable car that stops halfway up the mountain with 5 or 6 people in it. There is a bus that has wrecked into a snow drift trapping a half dozen people in it. And there is a strange "retreat" in the woods that is home to some interesting characters and ghoulish goings on. There are a lot of characters and it takes a good while to figure out what the connections are and how the pieces fit to tell the complete story. I detracted a half star because of that. My brain just didn't want to work that hard, I guess. But it was very atmospheric and there were a lot of twists and turns (almost a few too many, IMO.) I definitely recommend it, but you will have to pay close attention

Good Book

A novel approach to the stale and now formulaic zombie genre.
Not that it is necessarily a zombie story but close enough.
A good read that improves even more as the entire story comes together.
