A business/ski trip to a remote French Alps chalet turns deadly when a murderer strikes while a blizzard and avalanche cause havoc.
This is an homage to Agatha Christie and it gets off to a good start. The setting is amazing and the author does a wonderful job conjuring the place and slightly menacing atmosphere. The characters leave a little to be desired. Most are one dimensional and cliched. The story unfolds between two points of view- Erin who works at the chalet and Liz who is one of the guests. Liz is the outsider of the close knit group of business associates. She’s not a dynamic or complex main character. Her chapters just didn’t do anything for me.
I loved Ware’s The Woman in Cabin 10 and her other books. This one was just okay for me. I liked it but it started to drag in the middle and never really picked up after that. Not every hit is going to be a home run and that’s okay too. Glad to support a favorite author and my local library by checking out this book. I actually couldn’t believe I only had a day’s wait to get this one from the library.
Have you read this? Thoughts?
