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?

Critic reviews

A real spine-chiller that confirms Ruth Ware as the true heir to Christie's crown. Ingenious plotting sees the body count rise and multiple suspects eliminated until we're left with breathless game of cat-and-mouse.
The sense of dread deepens as the snow falls in Ruth Ware's tensely plotted and deliciously cast alpine thriller.
A chilling, edge-of-your-seat thriller. Agatha Christie would have been up all night reading this one!
Chilling, claustrophobic and clever. This is Ruth Ware's best yet.
What a read, oh my goodness, so fast paced, action packed, twisty-turny, modern, clever, scary and ingenious!
The queen of just-one-more-chapter, Ruth Ware, has done it again.
I absolutely loved ONE BY ONE! Impossible to put down and perfectly claustrophobic and gorgeously atmospheric. Each twist was perfectly cued and plotted, showing Ruth to be the master storyteller we all know.
A fabulous psychological thriller and I loved the snowy setting! Incredibly tense and kept me guessing to the end
One of the best thriller writers around.
An epic talent

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

It wasn't especially hard to guess whodunnit, but the journey getting there was very fun and the writing was pacy and enjoyable. The narration was excellent and really brought the book to life. Well worth a credit, just be warned, you'll probably be so gripped you'll want to try to listen to it in one sitting!

fabulous book

The narrator made some scenes far too dramatic and shouty! It became annoying.
I quite enjoyed the story though.

Ski fun!

Decent enough thriller but infuriating difference in volume of characters. The overall volume was much lower than other books and I had to have the volume on my devices really loud to get a decent playback. Took away from the enjoyment.

Let down by production volume
