"Getting snowed in at a beautiful, rustic mountain chalet doesn’t sound like the worst problem in the world, especially when there’s a breathtaking vista, a cozy fire, and company to keep you warm. But what happens when that company is eight of your coworkers…and you can’t trust any of them?

When an off-site company retreat meant to promote mindfulness and collaboration goes utterly wrong when an avalanche hits, the corporate food chain becomes irrelevant and survival trumps togetherness. Come Monday morning, how many members short will the team be?"

Yes, another "closed room" mystery that I read this month. Ruth Ware's books tend to be like this, where they might not be high literature, but you get pulled into the story. With this story, there was an added element of the weather which complicated things --- and then there was the added element of a reveal close to the end, but then you weren't sure how the other person was going to extricate themselves from the situation. So, an interesting story with some likable and some unlikeable characters. Good for a quick read.
