About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

A luxury mountaintop chalet
The opportunity of a lifetime
Until guests start to disappear…

**The unmissable new thriller from the queen of the modern-day murder mystery.**

Snow is falling in the exclusive alpine ski resort of Saint Antoine, as the shareholders and directors of Snoop, the hottest new music app, gather for a make or break corporate retreat to decide the future of the company. At stake is a billion-dollar dot com buyout that could make them all millionaires, or leave some of them out in the cold.

The clock is ticking on the offer, and with the group irrevocably split, tensions are running high. When an avalanche cuts the chalet off from help, and one board member goes missing in the snow, the group is forced to ask - would someone resort to murder, to get what they want?

The story is overly melodramatic and it is very sweary. I don’t mind a bit of swearing but I found it annoying in the context of this story.

Melodrama

I do enjoy Ruth Ware's books (especially her writing style and the various background settings to her books) so I started this book with very high expectations - and I'm delighted to say I was not disappointed. Once I started I could not stop listening, so beware if you think this is a book you can only listen to for a few hours a day. And I think this is definitely Imogen Church's best narration ever!

Highly recommended, all round 5 star!

I would definitely call myself a Ruth Ware fan after reading 3 of her books: One by one, The Turn of the Key and The Woman in Cabin 10. Although, I mostly enjoyed this book, it was my least favourite of the 3 by a long way.

Mildly entertaining

I found myself playing this book whilst cleaning or doing other tasks and wouldn’t bother pausing it if I left the room, which made little difference in following the story. Dragged on a bit.. Found the intro before each chapter of “ Snoop ID, snoopscribers etc” a bit tedious, as well as the constant descriptions of Liz’s emotions (“I felt a knot in my tummy; I couldn’t breathe from the nerves; I felt like my chest was being crushed etc etc”

A bit slow..didn’t really hold my attention

Imagine Highsmith had written about women rather than men, she may have produced novels like this, where the character and plotting are as strong as in her Ripley books. There is a difference though: Highsmith’s work was shaded by her pessimism whereas with Ware, there is light too. Very satisfying. And the narration is superb.

As good as Patricia Highsmith

After reading The Death of Mrs.Westaway and Turn of the Key, both of which were very good, I was keen to see whether this new novel matched the previous ones, factoring in I was listening on audible this time round. Although it took a while to gain momentum, the storyline captured my attention and I loved the location, just perfect for chilly winter bedtime listens! I thought it was an intriguing plot and the characters were.full of life .Ruth Ware does not disappoint and I love her style of writing. In my opinion the reader did the novel justice enabling the listener to get to know the Ski party well.

A Snowy Mystery!

Probably one of two too many plot twists but a great listen and very well read.

really enjoyable listen

Ruth Ware can do no wrong in my eyes, so, naturally, I pre-ordered this one and started to listen as soon as it dropped into my Audible library. It's a very modern whodunnit based around a group of people who all work for a company who developed a music social media app called Snoop. The Snoop team all visit a ski chalet in France, and one by one they die! Of course it's been done before but that doesn't make it any less entertaining.

The location is atmospheric - a ski chalet in the mountains with cosy fur throws and a crackling fire. Sounds idyllic until it gets cut off by a massive snowstorm and avalanche. There are quite a few characters and it took me a while to work out who was who. The story is told from the POV of Erin, the chalet hostess, and Liz, a socially awkward member of the Snoop team.

The book starts fairly slowly but then the pace picks up and I was thoroughly entertained and the ending had me holding my breath!

The book is narrated by the brilliant Imogen Church who brings it to life beautifully.

Just fabulous!

A fabulous book! Ruth Ware has become my favourite author, with the exception of Agatha Christie who will never be surpassed in my book! This one was truly fabulous, loads of twists and turns, suspense and intrigue. Although I guessed fairly early on who the perpetrator was, the excitement of the book meant that that detract from my enjoyment. I love books that tie up all loose ends and leave no question unanswered, and this book most definitely didthat. Well done Ruth, a truly fabulous novel. Can’t wait til your next one.

Five stars all round!
