⚠️ CW: death, murder, violence, sexual assault, stalking, infertility, kidnapping and mentions of addiction ⚠️ This was an incredibly thrilling rollercoaster filled with twists and turns that kept me guessing until the very end! When four friends embark on a boys skiing holiday in the Alps, they anticipate a weekend of fun, drinking, and some healthy competition on the slopes but their trip is cut short when one of them falls to his death. Tom’s widow, Zoe, travels to France with her friend, Ivy, to collect his body. While Zoe is consumed by grief, Ivy starts to question everything. The slope Tom fell from wasn’t even dangerous and tensions between the group were at breaking point in the days before his death, but if Ivy’s suspicions are correct it means that Tom was killed by one of his closest friends. And they are still in the chalet. This book had me absolutely hooked and I couldn't put it down! It's one of those reads where just when you think you've connected all of the dots, new information or evidence is dropped that makes you question everything and everyone. It is such a deeply complex storyline and I loved the intricacies of the plot and the characters connections. Overall, I loved this book and can't wait to read more by this author.
