Ruth Ware has an ingeniously disturbed mind! The first book I read by Ware was In a Dark, Dark Wood. The title says it all and it kept me up at night.  The next book was, The Woman in Cabin 10, who, of course, disappears. Every book she writes she takes something perfectly normal, like girlfriends getting together for a weekend, or going on a cruise and then twists it into something mysterious and dangerous with “on the edge of your seat” suspense. The best thing about her books is when you finally get to the last page and can wipe your sweaty palms and calm your heart rate by taking deep calming breaths!

High in the French Alps there is a luxurious cabin, accessible only be cable car, which can be rented for corporate retreats. Complete with its own chef and housekeeper, cozy fires and breathtaking views of the mountains, it is ideal for corporate financial Power Point presentations, long term visioning and strategizing as well as personal bonding on the ski slopes. This was exactly what the top executives and shareholders of Snoop, a tech start-up based in London were hoping for, until one of them mentions the pending corporate buy-out and tensions that were simmering in the background become visible and volatile and loyalties are stretched and tested. Meanwhile, a storm which has dumped even more wet snow on the mountains, triggers a devastating avalanche, cutting off the cabin from all access to the outside world. But even more disturbing is that the members of the group are dwindling…one by one.

Be sure you have plenty of time to read this book. This is not something you are going to want to put down, so be prepared. It’s perfect for the beach or when your husband is on a  camping trip.! Enjoy!
