Four friends. One luxury getaway. The perfect murder.

‘Pure adrenaline’ ERIN KELLY
‘I was gripped from start to finish’ CASS GREEN.

French Alps, 1998

Two young men ski into a blizzard… but only one returns.

20 years later

Four people connected to the missing man find themselves in that same resort. Each has a secret. Two may have blood on their hands. One is killer-in-waiting.

Someone knows what really happened that day.

And somebody will pay.

An exciting new debut for anyone who loves Ruth Ware, Lucy Foley, and C.L. Taylor

About the Author:

Catherine Cooper is a freelance journalist living in the South of France near the Pyrenees with her husband and two teenage children. They moved from London in 2009 so that the children could grow up bilingual and they could all ski more, and to enjoy a more relaxed pace of life.

She learned to ski on a school trip when she was 14 and has loved it ever since.

She is an avid thriller reader and has been since she discovered Agatha Christie as a child. Also, she writes regularly for the Telegraph and the Guardian, among others

The Chalet is her first published full-length novel, though she has also written several (unpublished) thrillers for teens and a (what used to be called) chick-lit novel set in TV production.

Besides skiing and reading, she loves to travel, theme parks and spends far too much time on social media. Some of her other favorite things include Alan Partridge, sparkly flip flops, and salt and vinegar crisps.

The Chalet  Review:

Skis, snow, and suspense make “The Chalet” a superb mystery thriller! 

I loved this story! The author did an amazing job of writing the tale! The story shifts focus between multiple perspectives, timelines, and plots that keep the reader on their toes. Moreover, the author narrates one storyline from the perspective of an unknown person. This process made the story entertaining because the particular storyline feels disconnected from the plot. But the author nicely connects all the pieces perfectly towards the end in a satisfying manner. 

Moreover, the author tells the story in such a compelling manner. The dialogues are simple, and the characters are intriguing. Similarly, there are quite a few twists and turns that truly shocked me and how they connected to the other timelines. At the same time, I also figured out who was plotting against the characters before the revel. 

All the characters feel like they are hiding something, but we don’t know what that is. If I had to choose, I liked Hugo and Louisa the best. Their storylines and perspectives were interesting. Some characters are just there as red herrings but add nicely to the background. 

I hope the author continues to write more books of this genre because I loved reading this book! Overall, read “The Chalet” if you are in the mood for a gripping mystery thriller.
