Poster: A snowHead
|
I don’t normally read fiction, but I did enjoy a crime novel my Sister in Law sent to me recently. It’s a Sunday Times bestseller ‘one by one’ by Ruth Ware and is set in the fictional French ski resort of ‘St Antoine’.
It’s about a Corporate ski trip to a luxurious Chalet to sort out the problems surrounding a successful, If somewhat naff internet application startup.
As each of the narcissistic and highly annoying characters are introduced you’ll be looking forward to their grisly demise.
Anyway, I quite enjoyed it and the description of the French Alps felt convincing albeit with a few errors. Worth a read

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Sounds similar to 'Number two by someone', in which the guests are tormented by a foul odour following a lavish evening of rich food and copious amounts of Vin Rouge. Smells like something has died...... Whodunnit?!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@Peter S, funny - my mum has just given me this! I've not started it yet, but I'll check it out this weekend. Good to know it's not completely awful.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Is it as good as the classic cheese of Avalanche by Jack Drummond or the authentically set in Breckenridge murder mystery genre of Blood Runs Cold by Alex Barclay?
Yes I have a talent for harvesting tangential ski novels in the Oxfam/ National Trust bookshop.

Victim #1 crushed to death in his own ski boots
Victim #2 fed through the base-grinder
Victim #3 bludgeoned to death with a yoghurt cake
Victim #4 gassed in the boot room
