The Chalet

Seven guests. One storm. No way down the mountain. Mara Voss has one week to ghostwrite a stranger's memoir at a private Alpine retreat — money she desperately needs after a scandal ended her career as a journalist. But the moment she arrives at Chalet Aurore, she realizes the invitation was never really about the book. Cut off by a blizzard with six strangers, each hiding something worth killing for, Mara starts to suspect they were all brought here for the same reason, by an organization that doesn't officially exist. When one of the guests is found dead at the bottom of a stone staircase, "accident" is the only word nobody in the house believes. Trapped until the storm breaks, Mara has six days to find out who's lying, who's next, and what Elsewhere actually wants from the people it chooses — before the mountain decides for her. A closed-circle psychological thriller for fans of Ruth Ware and Lucy Foley, where every guest has a secret, and the storm isn't the only thing you can't escape.
