At the beginning I was challenged by the large number of characters, particularly the 16 members of the ski party. As I continued to read on, this concern faded. Instead, I focused on the two police detectives, especially DCI Rivers, who has a distinct style. (similarly for his sidekick). I would like to read more of DCI Rivers's cases, but it seems none are in print right now. Mrs. Stein in London and her layabout son Syd stood out as interesting characters.
There's two distinct storylines and usually I find one of them to be superfluous. This case is different: the two complement one another and come together naturally in to a satisfactory ending.
There's plenty of suspense as we follow the detectives in London and whodunnit puzzle in Austria.
A well done detective story and therefore recommended.
