Did you like that it had so many or was it hard to follow? Beyond those two, there are a lot of characters in this story.Why do you think the author decided just to focus on these two perspectives? We follow two perspectives: Liz, a former employee but still crucial part of Snoop and Erin, an employee at the chalet that the group is staying at.Why did the author reveal that number so early? We know that four people will die on this trip before the story really begins.What did you think about the setting in the French Alps? Why do you think so many thrillers take place in the mountains during the winter months?.What were your impressions of this Snoop app? If it was a real app, would you download it?.Even worse, one Snooper hadn’t made it back from the slopes when the avalanche hit.Īs each hour passes without any sign of rescue, panic mounts, the chalet grows colder, and the group dwindles further…one by one. The storm brewing inside the chalet is no match for the one outside, however, and a devastating avalanche leaves the group cut off from all access to the outside world. But as soon as one shareholder upends the agenda by pushing a lucrative but contentious buyout offer, tensions simmer and loyalties are tested.
When the cofounder of Snoop, a trendy London-based tech startup, organizes a weeklong trip for the team in the French Alps, it starts out as a corporate retreat like any other: PowerPoint presentations and strategy sessions broken up by mandatory bonding on the slopes. Unless that company happens to be eight coworkers…each with something to gain, something to lose, and something to hide. Especially when there’s a breathtaking vista, a full-service chef and housekeeper, a cozy fire to keep you warm, and others to keep you company.
Getting snowed in at a luxurious, rustic ski chalet high in the French Alps doesn’t sound like the worst problem in the world. Let me know what you all thought about it! The synopsis The cat-and-mouse section on the mountain at the end felt like it dragged. However, I did think it was too long at 368 pages. I predicted some of the story but also was surprised by other elements. Solid writing and a great setting-it made me want to go skiing and also never go again at the same time, haha. That said, One by One is a pretty good thriller. While I like that they are quick reads and a good “in between” of more serious stories-some are just so outrageous, it’s hard for me to get behind it. I’ve mentioned before that I’m pretty picky with thrillers.
