A LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM HIS NORMAL PLOTS, BUT STILL A GREAT READ. SOME PLOT TWISTS I DID NOT SEE COMING! SEELEY JAMES NEVER FAILS TO ENTERTAIN AND KEEP ME WANTING MORE.
Death and disaster transpire in Seeley James' dynamic new thriller, The Alpine Decision, as a disparate (and in some cases dissolute and egotistical), group of über-wealthy investors are trapped in a mountaintop resort by extreme weather.
The enigmatic Pia Sabel arrives, (or was she there already?) and things between certain guests degenerate into open hostility...then a murderer strikes again.
The Alpine Decision will make you question characters' integrity and self-serving motives in almost every scenario.
Yet believable characters and a fascinating storyline set against a dramatic backdrop of snowy isolation, will keep you reading late into the night.
Don't miss it!
I have already read it twice...it is that good!
Great story for Pia that departs from past ones a bit. Still delivers a quality storyline but as more investigative than past books.
