Description
In this propulsive locked-room thriller debut, a reunion weekend in the French Alps turns deadly when five friends discover that someone has deliberately stranded them at their remote mountaintop resort during a snowstorm.
When Milla accepts an off-season invitation to Le Rocher, a cozy ski resort in the French Alps, she's expecting an intimate weekend of catching up with four old friends. It might have been a decade since she saw them last, but she's never forgotten the bond they forged on this very mountain during a winter spent fiercely training for an elite snowboarding competition.
Yet no sooner do Milla and the others arrive for the reunion than they realize something is horribly wrong. The resort is deserted. The cable cars that delivered them to the mountaintop have stopped working. Their cell phones—missing. And inside the hotel, detailed instructions await them: an icebreaker game, designed to draw out their secrets. A game meant to remind them of Saskia, the enigmatic sixth member of their group, who vanished the morning of the competition years before and has long been presumed dead.
Stranded in the resort, Milla's not sure what's worse: the increasingly sinister things happening around her or the looming snowstorm that's making escape even more impossible. All she knows is that there's no one on the mountain she can trust. Because someone has gathered them there to find out the truth about Saskia...someone who will stop at nothing to get answers. And if Milla's not careful, she could be the next to disappear...

        Milla, the narrator of Reynolds’s exciting if uneven debut, and four other friends travel to an abandoned ski lodge in the French Alps, where they met 10 years earlier, for a reunion. Back then, the five participated in a grueling snowboarding training session, along with another snowboarder, Saskia. Milla had an exceptionally bitter rivalry with Saskia, who vanished without a trace. Soon after their arrival, their cell phones disappear, a snowstorm hits the lodge, and an icebreaker game reveals that one of them may be a murderer. Milla and company discover that their invitations came from a mysterious source, and they also begin to suspect they aren’t alone. The story alternates between the current predicament and the events a decade ago, revealing overlapping conflicts among the characters. Though the action is slow to start, and no one makes a serious effort to escape, Reynolds, a former competitive snowboarder, brings authenticity to her Alpine setting with her detailed descriptions of the sport. Fans of locked-room mysteries will have fun. Agent: Kate Burke, Blake Friedmann Literary (U.K.).

      • content: Narrator Olivia Vinall performs this locked-room mystery set in the French Alps. Ten years after a tragic competitive snowboarding season leaves one woman dead and another paralyzed, Milla attends a reunion with four estranged teammates at a remote chalet, hoping for closure. From the first minutes, Vinall sets a foreboding mood, drawing listeners into the cold, dangerous beauty of the mountains. When cell phones go missing, messages appear on frosted windows, and unexplained noises are heard down darkened hallways, the group becomes more anxious about who invited them there and why. Vinall's delivery fits the first-person style of the audiobook, conveying Milla's growing fear as secrets are exposed and one of the men is found dead. Understated characterizations and good pacing will keep listeners fully engaged. C.B.L. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine

        April 1, 2021

        Ten years ago, Milla was a professional snowboarder hoping to climb the ranks during an event in the French Alps. That competition proved fatal to one of their number and career-ending for another. Milla has since given up the sport, but now she accepts an invitation to the resort to meet up with the old group. When she arrives, the resort puts on parlor games that accuse guests and expose their secrets without naming names. Sasha, the missing--presumed dead--member of the group had given everyone reason to dislike her; does that mean she was murdered? When group members begin dropping dead, Milla realizes they have run out of time for secrets. Someone wants revenge. The story unfolds in chapters that jump between the present and the past, narrated by the unreliable Milla. Narrator Olivia Vinall switches character accents effortlessly, but her skills can't make up for the unlikable cast. Reynolds is a retired pro snowboarder, and her first book includes a lot of technical details that slow the plot. VERDICT The denouement of the locked-room mystery, which is a little disappointing, comes out of left field. Libraries may want to order on request, but it isn't a crucial purchase.--Jodi L. Israel, Orlando, FL
