The Chalet

This book was utterly brilliant. One of my favourite reads of the year.

The plot was so good, with twists and turns that kept you guessing throughout. I read the book in staves on Pigeonhole but if I'd had the book I would totally have read it in one go.

It says a lot about the author's talent that despite some really horrendous male characters in the story, you still got hooked into it. Seriously, the only male character I felt any semblance of sympathy for was Hugo. The rest of the men left a lot to be desired.

I've never been skiing (and I don't think I'd ever want to after reading that book!) but I loved the setting. I think I got the taste for that having read Ruth Ware's One by One, another book set in a French Resort.

I would highly recommend this book!

Thank you to Pigeonhole and Catherine Cooper for the chance to read this book.

A snowy thriller that keeps you guessing until the end. I thought the plot was terrifically well executed and very clever. Adam and Will are two warring brothers, one of whom goes missing on a mountain in France in 1988. Twenty two years later a group of people meet in a Chalet for a holiday, but which guests are connected to the brothers and how? Who is looking for revenge? I thought the characters were very well written and suitably unpleasant and self-centered, both in 1988 and 2020. A very good book for a bit of escapism in a winter setting with lots of fab descriptions of ski holidays in luxurious surroundings. Would definitely read more by the author and I think this might be one of my favourite books this year.
