A well thought-out plotline, characters you’re interested in finding out more about (even if some of them aren’t particularly likeable), gorgeous scenery and a pinch of revenge – what more would you want in a Summer Read?īuy The Chalet on Amazon (this link should bring you to the Amazon store geographically closest to you). It’s a fast-paced read where the idea of “coincidence” and connection between the two plots is obvious but just HOW it’s going to happen isn’t. Considering the multiple storylines, which might sound confusing (the body of the missing man is found 20 years later, bringing characters from the first storyline to the present-day alongside the back story of one of the main characters spanning their entire life) it’s well-crafted and pretty easy to follow once you get into the rhythm of he writing. The story is told in dual timelines (1998/ 2020) and from different points of view so it’s definitely easier to keep track of what’s going on if you read it in one or two sittings. This is the kind of book I like to describe as a “plane read” or a “beach read” – one that you will probably devour in one sitting. Someone knows what really happened that day. Two young men ski into a blizzard… but only one returns.įour people connected to the missing man find themselves in that same resort. Actually I discovered this most excellent summer read a little but unconventionally – I am a member of a number of Facebook groups pertaining to our region in Southwest France and happened upon this book in a post there recently because the author lives in Southwest France too! When I started reading a little bit more about the book (and her upcoming The Chateau), I knew it would make the PERFECT summer read! Well then, with a description like that, I couldn’t NOT dive into this book.
