fullDescription

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.).

     Starred review from January 1, 2021
     

     DEBUT With TV rights already sold, this buzzy debut takes the locked-room mystery to the French Alps, where five former friends reunite at a deserted ski lodge 10 years after Saskia, one of their fellow snowboarders, disappeared. Curtis, Saskia's brother; Milla; Brent; Heather; and Dale were all in Saskia's orbit that memorable winter as they trained together at the glacier in Le Rocher. Saskia was talented and alluring, but she wanted to win at all costs, craftily sabotaging and manipulating those around her and giving all of them motivation to make her disappear. So when the group gathers a decade later, they hope for some resolution to that horrible winter, but instead they find themselves stranded on the top of a remote mountain while someone taunts them with murder accusations. The situation grows more threatening and the five former friends wonder if they can trust one another and if Saskia is still alive. VERDICT The story alternates between the present and 10 years prior, ratcheting up the suspense and spooling out a cast of intriguing characters drawn together atop a picturesque yet deadly mountain. Reynolds, a former international snowboarder, delivers the thrills in her must-read debut.--Melissa DeWild, Comstock Park, MI

     Competitive snowboarding is the backdrop to this mystery, set at a resort in the French Alps. Ten years after a group of competitors were last there, they're back, but the reunion is far from fun. There's nobody else at the resort, and once snowboarder Milla and her somewhat spoiled old friends have reached it, there's no way to leave, as the cable cars have been disabled. One of the group, Saskia, disappeared on the original visit--a whirlwind of training, competition, partying, and relationships--and she may be behind the frightening new circumstances. Finding out what's going on tests the physical and mental endurance of Milla and the rest of the crew. Winter-sports fans are in for a treat here, as are all who enjoy a tale of extremes; the fierce competition between women characters is also a bonus. The answer to who's pulling the strings here is a little incredible, but overall this debut is an atmospheric winter treat. Recommend it to those who enjoyed recent tales of reunions gone awry, such as Laura DiSilverio's That Last Weekend (2017) and T. M. Logan's The Vacation (2020).

     Starred review from November 15, 2020
     Deep in the breathtaking winter bleakness of the French Alps, revenge--and perhaps even murder--is most definitely afoot. In a remote, off-season snow lodge, five former friends--Curtis, Milla, Brent, Dale, and Heather--gather for a weekend reunion, but from the get-go, it's unclear which of them is actually behind the invitations. They're encouraged by a teasing note to disengage from their phones, but when their phones disappear, they realize they are completely cut off from the rest of the world. The action in this disturbing thriller shifts between the present-day reunion and a time, 10 years earlier, when four of these five were professional snowboard competitors along with several others, including Curtis' sister, Saskia. The outlier, Heather, was a bartender who became Dale's girlfriend. At that time, a tragic accident and Saskia's disappearance put a damper on their burgeoning clique, which had already been slightly riven by an underlying element of sinister malevolence. Now, the five leftovers (so to speak), trapped in their present-day snowbound digs, find it harder and harder to trust one another: A supposed icebreaker game contains accusatory secrets; the lodge's electrical power proves iffy; food supplies vanish, not to mention knives; and windows are left mysteriously open. The sometimes-grisly action has a palpably visual immediacy to it--it comes as no surprise that this debut novel has already been picked up for television--while the mostly breakneck pace of the narrative lags only on occasion. This suspenseful debut thriller by a former freestyle snowboarder contains both style and substance.
