A Tech start-up company called Snoop is taking a holiday at a remote chalet in the French Alps. They are planning to ski the slopes, eat fine food, and have a meeting to talk about a buy-out. On their first day, the group decides to get in some skiing before a storm hits. One of their party does not come back from the slopes. As the members try to figure out when and where Eva was last seen, the heavy snowfall causes an avalanche which traps the members of the party in the Chalet. Cut off from civilization with limited food and no internet access, another person dies. This time everyone knows that there is a murderer in their midst.

This story is patterned after Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None". I always enjoy locked room mysteries and this one is no exception. I started listening to the audiobook while taking my daily walk. The beginning of the story was so confusing, I started it over and took notes when I arrived home. Thankfully, the story was easy to follow after the information dump at the beginning of the story.

The story is told from the point of view of two people at the chalet. Erin is the housekeeper and hostess. Liz is one of the guests. The narrator, Imogen Church, does an excellent job with all of the members of the party. There are several red herrings throughout this story. I kept changing my mind about the identity of the murderer. My rating: 4 Stars.
