Story
When Rowan stumbles across an ad for a live-in nanny, she’s looking for something else completely. But it seems like too good an opportunity to miss - with a staggeringly generous salary. And when she arrives at Heatherbrae House, she is smitten - by the luxurious "smart" house fitted out with all modern conveniences, by the beautiful Scottish Highlands, and by this picture-perfect family. What Rowan doesn’t know is that she’s stepping into a nightmare - one that will end with a child dead and Rowan in prison awaiting trial for murder.

You can’t believe it when you see him do it: your funny, happy teenage son, he kills a stranger, right there on the street outside your house. You don’t know who. You don’t know why.

Publisher's Summary
From Ruth Ware, the number-one New York Times best-selling author of In a Dark, Dark Wood, The Woman in Cabin 10, The Lying Game, The Death of Mrs. Westaway, and The Turn of the Key, comes her highly anticipated sixth novel.
Getting snowed in at a 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. Unless that company happens to be eight coworkers...none of whom you can trust. When an off-site company retreat meant to promote mindfulness and collaboration goes utterly wrong with the arrival of a monster storm, the corporate food chain becomes irrelevant and survival trumps synergy. Come Monday morning, how many members short will the team be?

the narrator
I have enjoyed many books narrated by Imogen Church but am finding that her manner of speech has become exaggerated - and hence distracting from the narrative.

Wrong narrator listed
I like Ruth Ware now despite my savage misgivings about her predictable plots. Turn of the Key changed things for me - really enjoyed that one. This doesn't blow my mind, but it's a fun, easy listen. Imogen Church (seriously Audible, change the narrator back) is a good narrator.

Another awesome story by Ruth Ware
This book was everything I hoped it would be. Keeps you guessing right till the end! It's got well fleshed out characters and a gripping plot.
I absolutely love Imogen Church's narration, she does a great job at giving each character a distinct voice. Now I'm off to listen to the next book!

Chapters
I enjoyed most of the story except for a couple of things. I found it very annoying that the beginning of each chapter started not only with the name of the character but the unnecessary and confusing, ‘...Snoop idea...Snoop scribers, 1’.
While I am in favour of using the word ‘f*#k’ when appropriate, I found it greatly overused in this story.

Riveting and so so fun!
I have read three of Ruth Ware’s books now and this is my favourite! I didn’t mind that the red herring and the murderer were somewhat obvious, because the story and the characters were so well put together.
I also liked Girl In Cabin 10 and really really didn’t like The Lying Game (I didn’t even finish the ending couple chapters because I hated the ending so so much)

A locked room full of idiots
Ruth Ware seems to be hit or miss for a lot of people. This one is a miss.
Just couldn't suspend the disbelief. Too many things happen that are simply not believable, even for a thriller.
If you were stuck in a chalet and members of your group were gradually being murdered, would you really be discussing the deaths and pointing fingers so flippantly? Yet, when characters know key pieces of information, they withhold these secrets resulting in even more chaos and deaths.
The police don't arrive right away (for reasons that are later explained). The group struggles to contact the police from the chalet. But why is this left completely on the group's shoulders? Apparently the company who owns the chalet, which is pretty much cut off from the world, has no contingency plan for emergencies?
"Kate is the area rep, and is in charge of coordinating all the bookings and logistics for all six of the company’s chalets. She likes us to greet the clients by their names right from day one."
Couldn't Kate help to get things moving on that rescue if she cares about the clients so much? Especially when she can't get through to the employees.
Because there is no cell service... except sometimes there is. With no power they have no way to charge their phones - except when they FORGET about one working charger and one phone with juice.
The narration wasn't bad. But the two female perspectives sounded too similar at times.
Ware tries to pull out some character growth out at the end, but it feels like a last-ditch attempt to add some depth to the story. This could have been a quite creepy and tension-filled read, but it misses the mark.
