Good book, well written with likeable characters. The switching between past and present also made for an interesting read.

I truly missed the suspense and mystery for a mystery book

[Bethany Appleton · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

A slow book not a lot happens the book jumps between January 2020 and December 1998 at a ski resort in France.

[vanessacw · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

A captivating psychological thriller set in the French Alps told in the form of a dual timeline. A man goes missing whilst skiing and 22 years later four people connected to this event take a holiday at the same resort, but someone has murderous intentions on their mind.

I really enjoyed this absorbing mystery. It’s well plotted with plenty of twists and turns and the odd red herring. There is a whole cast of mainly unlikeable characters and it’s a tale where no-one is as they seem. The setting is gloriously atmospheric, I could just picture it! I read this via the Pigeonhole app and eagerly awaited each stave every day. I was gripped all the way through, right until I turned the last page. An exciting, edge of your seat type of story which will appeal to those who enjoy thrillers with more than a hint of suspense.
