"The Chalet is a multiple timeline mystery that has multiple points of view. I'm not going to summarize this as I feel that doing so will give away too much of the mystery. Checking out the synopsis will give you all the information you need to go into this one. <br/><br/>The multiple timelines and points of view change from chapter to chapter and are labelled as to the point in time, place, and the character who is narrating. This wasn't confusing at all until Part 3 when we are introduced to a nameless character and their backstory. This was a bit jarring. The characters are all very entitled and are quite unlikable overall. I felt no connection or sympathy for any of them. They were in the case of our main characters well developed with a good background history though. The pacing is what kept me hooked, along with seeing what happened to the characters in the end. Overall, I'm going to go with a 3.5 rounded up to 4.<br/><br/>My appreciation to HarperCollins UK, Harper Fiction, Catharine Cooper, and NetGalley for gifting me a digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review."
