“She thought it was their first Christmas together, it turned out to be her last…”

When Emma joins her new boyfriend Michael for a ‘Friendmas’ in the Alps, she’s quickly thrust into an exclusive world of privilege, partying, and politics. Emma can't ski and is out of place among the close-knit group, but she's determined to win them over.

Without the usual headache of extended family members, Brussels sprouts, and unwanted gifts, the group turn back the clock and unwind with wild abandon. As a storm gathers outside, the friends begin to re-trace their past, prodding at memories and feelings that have long been buried.

When the house wakes on Christmas morning, they find one of their party dead. No one is allowed to leave. As the snow piles up, the evidence of the night before begins to disappear and with it goes the ability to distinguish friend from foe.

As the group turn on her, Emma must find a way out before the killer finds her.

From the million-copy bestseller Claire McGowan, and performed by Hayley Atwell, comes a white-knuckled thriller that asks how far people are prepared to go to keep their stories hidden.

Fantastic narration but absurd plot. Author totally overdoes the chippy working class girl out of place thing. Do people really feel like that or is it that being a privately educated Oxford graduate myself, I’m unaware of any perceived barriers ?
Emma’s a barrister : she can’t be the total wet blanket the author makes her out to be and
her drippiness and fear over skiing is also hard to take. I nearly gave up as the first few chapters are so cliched.
I continued to see if I had guessed the killer correctly but really, it’s ridiculous and the ending a total let down. Preposterous.

Implausible plot saved by great narration.
