About this listen

Ellen Wingate thinks she's hit the jackpot when she learns the millions she's inherited comes with a super-exclusive condo in the mountains outside of Las Vegas. But leaving Minnesota for paradise turns out to be the ultimate nightmare. Trapped with her neighbors in a freakish winter avalanche, a chilling discovery at the bottom of an indoor pool signals a frightening turn of events.

A ruthless killer has infiltrated the Deer Park Condos. With each killing more terrifying than the last, the panicked survivors face almost certain death. Their only hope is to band together to escape the unrelenting pursuit of a deadly intruder, but trusting each other could be their most fatal instinct.

ignore the bad reviews

I liked this book. It was a different style of writing, nothing like the Hannah Swenson series. It had an Agatha Christie feel to it. I know people complained about there being too many characters to keep track of. I admit I heard the first chapter three times to learn everybody. I finally gave up and went on. The way the book is written, you really get to know the characters throughout the chapters, to the point where you really root for them. Give it a chance!

Not great

There were too many characters and it was hard to keep them straight at first. I didn't really care for any of them, so the story didn't really draw me in.

Love author but TERRIBLE book and narrator

The narrator was terrible and it took 16 chapters to get to the murder. I love her other books but don't waste your time on this one.

Story doesn't deserve Guidall's narration

I love George Guidall - He could read a grocery list and keep me listening - but this story was so completely far-fetched and incredibly stupid that I had a hard time finishing it. Alzheimer's patients can't remember how to turn ON the television, let alone hit the record button and switch channels. This "drug" that is supposed to mimic Alzheimer's symptoms given to the goon's daughter to shut her up - well, let's just say it's a total misrepresentation of the symptoms themselves. And the other characters? No group of people could all be that dumb. I suppose the concept is plausible, but lack of character development and dialogue so shallow that half the time you don't know who's speaking is not my idea of good writing. Skip this one - but keep listening to George Guidall!

Didn’t like it at all

I love Joanne Fluke’s Hannah Swenson books, but this one was not at all what I was hoping for it was too risqué and low class
