One by One written by Ruth Ware

Imagine a luxurious company retreat gone deadly wrong. Secrets, sabotage, and a killer avalanche make this ski chalet the ultimate snowbound trap.

In this chilling thriller, a group of tech startup coworkers travel to the French Alps for a retreat promising both team-building and high-stakes business strategy. Ambitions and rivalries quickly clash, especially when a buyout offer divides the group. But when an avalanche isolates the chalet and one of their own goes missing, the Snooper team faces a far more urgent problem – survival.

This book sounds like it has all the elements of a deliciously tense thriller. The ski resort setting offers both glamour and an ominous sense of isolation. The missing coworker and potential buyout create clear, juicy points of conflict, promising complex motivations behind each character. I might be wary if the book relies too much on corporate tech jargon, but the setup is strong.

If you enjoy fast-paced, "locked room" mysteries where everyone has a secret, this book will likely keep you hooked. Fans of Lucy Foley or Ruth Ware might particularly enjoy the blend of a luxurious setting with an undercurrent of menace.
