Summary

HR manager Sheila Voss has spent fifteen years making other people's problems disappear through proper channels. At Halverson Lodge, with a blizzard raging outside and her colleagues proposing increasingly catastrophic survival strategies, she discovers she is very, very good at making problems disappear through improper ones. Calloway & Birch Financial Group's annual retreat was supposed to be three days of trust falls and forced fun. Instead, a record-breaking blizzard strands fifty-two employees inside a remote ski lodge. Then people begin dying. Everyone assumes there's a killer trapped inside the lodge. They're right, but what no one realizes is there are two.

Ashley: I enjoyed the story. It was a short one so the fast pace fit. I think something should be put in to show a time jump between paragraphs like a "****" just to make it easier to follow when we skip to the next day week or month. Over all a good read.
