Maybe bitches do in fact be crazy

I think it's more of a 3.5 but I like to boost ratings ;)
It's a quick and engaging read. You don't get to know too many of the characters, and the changing points of view are a little difficult at first. Good plot

Not my favorite Ruth Ware, but good. I guessed the culprit early on, but then questioned myself--Ware is good at weaving in red herrings--but not the motive. It's an enjoyable read that will make you think twice about skiing in the Alps.

I really loved the snowed-in, “Clue” vibes that this book gave. It becomes a guessing game if who’s the killer, post avalanche. While the killer becomes fairly obvious, the why is very interesting.

This was a slower paced story, but the mystery made it work. I’d recommend this novel, if you’re looking for a slow-burn mystery!
