I stayed up all night reading this book because it freaked me out so much. In case this was ever in question, I will never be going skiing ever. Not even for the hot chocolate. I can get that somewhere less terrifying and avalanche-y.

I try to be upfront about the fact that I'm an idiot about solving mystery/thrillers. My problem is that I'm so suspicious of literally everyone that no single suspect stands out as particularly murderous. It could just as easily have been Sally with the teddy bear in the nursery, for all I know (ok, that actually sounds very sinister... do not sign me up for that book). I'll think I've noticed something highly suspect, and then a character has the same idea almost immediately, a sure sign that it is too blatantly obvious and I am in the process of being outsmarted. The dual POV had my two brain cells working mighty hard trying to recall who knew what (including me, let's be honest). It was a fascinating approach to storytelling, and as those trapped in the chalet are picked off one by one, I found myself glancing backwards at what the two protagonists had seen and heard to try to find gaps and deceptions.

So basically, I was indeed very ~thrilled~ by this novel. I was on edge for almost the entire thing, both before and after the murderer is revealed. I also appreciated the wrap-up/wind down time at the end to see how the surviving characters react to the truth and move forward.
