Synopsis:
Getting snowed in at a luxurious, rustic ski chalet high in the French
Alps doesn’t sound like the worst problem in the world. Especially when
there’s a breathtaking vista, a full-service chef and housekeeper, a
cozy fire to keep you warm, and others to keep you company. Unless that
company happens to be eight coworkers…each with something to gain,
something to lose, and something to hide.
When the cofounder of
Snoop, a trendy London-based tech startup, organizes a weeklong trip
for the team in the French Alps, it starts out as a corporate retreat
like any other: PowerPoint presentations and strategy sessions broken up
by mandatory bonding on the slopes. But as soon as one shareholder
upends the agenda by pushing a lucrative but contentious buyout offer,
tensions simmer and loyalties are tested. The storm brewing inside the
chalet is no match for the one outside, however, and a devastating
avalanche leaves the group cut off from all access to the outside world.
Even worse, one Snooper hadn’t made it back from the slopes when the
avalanche hit.
As each hour passes without any sign of rescue,
panic mounts, the chalet grows colder, and the group dwindles
further…one by one.
Why I want to read it:
Ruth Ware never disappoints. NEVER. This book has be on edge from the synopsis alone and I can't wait to dive in.
