Shiver by Allie ReynoldsRead about the other entries on the list.
Reunions never seem to end well, do they? Especially ones in remote lodges or chalets.
Milla is invited to a reunion in the French Alps resort that saw the peak of her snowboarding career (Reynolds is a formerprofessional snowboarder). The five friends haven't seen each other for ten years, ever since the disappearance of the beautiful and enigmatic Saskia.
While Milla would rather not relive the events of that winter, the invitation comes from Curtis, the one person she can't seem to forget.
Things start off okay until a game supposed to ‘break the ice’ between the old friends takes a menacing turn and the group realise they don't actually know who has gathered them there or what they want.
A deserted lodge, treacherous snowy mountains, secrets from the past. All the essentials for a chill-filled winter read.
Shiver is among B.P. Walter's five top winter mysteries.
