I really enjoyed the Multiple point of view and dual timeline of this book. The way the storyline was woven and the characters were connected was interesting and unexpected.

The forced proximity element was well executed also with a cast of unlikeable characters.

I found this book very pacy and I was gripped by the story from the outset. I liked the use of the multiple narrators and got involved of all the interconnected stories, although I did find myself having to flick back through to remind myself of who was who. This is a great holiday read, particularly because I do think you need to read it quickly so you don’t lose track of what’s going on.

Great debut novel by Catherine Cooper. This story is highly exciting and atmospheric, I found the setting to be incredibly detailed and as if I was there in person. The perspective from the different characters was a nice touch and well developed. I'll look forward to more from this author. Thanks to Netgalley

I really enjoyed this book.

I thought that the split narratives and changing to and from the past got a little confusing at times, and there wasn’t really too much in the mystery.

I don’t know if it’s because I read a lot of mystery books but I had worked out who the daughter was before it was revealed, I don’t think that was as much of a plot twist as the author maybe thought it was.

The characters were all well developed and the storyline was always engaging. The book really explored the relationships between the characters and delved into why they behaved the way they did.

I wasn’t expecting the ending, that was a twist. It felt very sinister, especially when a near happy ending was nearly in reach. I also wasn’t expecting the plot twist of the daughters dad.

Overall it was a good read, but I’m not sure I would read again.

I read The Chalet quickly. It’s well written, easy reading, with a beautiful setting in the French Alps. It began well and I was quickly drawn into the drama of the story. The narrative moves between 1998, and 2020 and is told from several of the characters’ perspectives. None of the characters are particularly likeable and they all seem to have something to hide.

It’s a story of revenge, stemming from the events in 1998 when two brothers go skiing with their girlfriends and only one of the brothers returns. The weather conditions were bad and on a difficult off-piste route they lost contact with their guides and only one of them was found, but he couldn’t remember anything about what had happened. The body of the other brother was only found 20 years later after an avalanche hit the resort.

In 2020 a group of people, four couples mixing business with pleasure are staying at the same resort in a luxury chalet. The atmosphere is a difficult one as the couples’ relationships begin to breakdown, particularly when the weather worsens and a storm sets in, leaving them somewhat isolated. Various past events became clearer as secrets are revealed. Although there are plenty of twists and turns, it really wasn’t hard to work out what had happened and who was seeking revenge. An entertaining read, but maybe a bit too predictable by the latter half of the book. The last paragraph promises there is more to come in this story – I’ll be interested to see what happens next, if there is a sequel.

There’s just something about thrillers set at a ski resort that I love. Originally set in 1998 when one man goes missing after a blizzard. 20 years later 4 people connected to the missing man meet up again. This was brilliant.

Unfortunately not my kind of book. I did finish it, but did not enjoy it.Thank you to Netgalley for an A.R.C.

This. This book was good! I really enjoyed the book, the plot and even the characters. It kept me reading and I read it all in one sititng.

Although I enjoyed the story enough to finish the book I never really engaged with the characters. Nobody came across as likeable. There was nobody who I wanted to feel sympathy for and hoped would come out of the story unscathed. I thought the storyline was obvious and the who did it and why was it done was obvious.

Thank you to the publisher for my eARC copy of this book. Unfortunately I didn’t love this book and therefore didn’t finish, I just didn’t connect with this one. Not for me, sorry.

Four friends, one luxury getaway. The perfect murder.

I loved the flip between 1998 & 2020 as well as the narrative from the different characters.

I last sentence got me though! Full on cliffhanger. Will there be a second book? I’d like to think so!

It was a short read, but that suited me well because I couldn’t put it down. It was a real page turner, I needed to know who knew who and why. It’s face paced, with a very well written and clever reveal. I also enjoyed that the book was set at a ski resort, as I haven’t read anything with that setting before so that made a change.

This is my first read by this author so I will definitely keep my eye out for more of her books.

Found I read this quite quick
So gripping
Liked the location it was set in a ski resort in the alps
It's got everything
Secrets, lies, murder and twists

Look forward to the authors next novel

Thank you netgalley, Catherine Cooper and Harper Collins

The Chalet brings together a brilliant cast of characters interacting within a beautifully depicted backdrop across two distinct periods 20 years apart. We have the self-entitled, the downtrodden, the unfortunate, the vengeful, the red herrings, and of course a few extras. The characters are really portrayed brilliantly (when you can feel deep emotion towards a character, whether good or bad, you know the author has done a great job), and the unravelling of the plot leaves you guessing where you’re being taken from chapter to chapter.

Having never skied, I loved the insight into the ski resort life with its nuances and inherent dangers.
All in all this was a fun mystery, delivered with some real intelligence and thought, all coming together in an easy flowing page-turner.

Thanks NetGalley and HarperCollinsUk for a Review Copy.

A great suspense thriller which is a little different. Well written, good storyline and I liked the characters - would like to read another book by this author.

Some good twists, especially at the end. I did see some of them coming but that didn;t detract from the book. Overall, I enjoyed it.

Absolutely brilliant. An intriguing storyline which across two time lines told by the various characters. It had me guessing right to the end.

A fast paced, page turning thriller. I read it during a heatwave and visualising the stunning scenery and cold weather helped me cool down. Unlikable but believable characters, the setting and plot made it an enjoyable read.

The characters were a pretty unlikeable group. However paired with the isolated and harsh surroundings it some how actually worked. I guess I wasn’t completely invested in them but I also enjoyed sitting back and seeing what would happen next!

Pacing for the most part was good. It’s safe to say I was pulled in quite easily at the start. I was definitely curious to see how everything would play out.

There are twists within the pages of this book and I was invested in discovering all of the secrets and seeing how the mystery would unfold.

I read this book very quickly and was kept intrigued all the way through.
I liked the mystery element of the story.
There are a good few characters in this book, but I found the book so well written it was easy to keep track of who is who. I particularly enjoyed the more horrible characters.
Overall an entertaining read.

A new author for me and this didn't disappoint. The characters are intriguing and the way the scenery is described makes it feel real. Lots of who and why, with twists and turns. Its a fast pace thriller which is a mixture of present day and 20 years ago. I couldn't put it down. Thank you net galley
