Bright and Deadly Things
What you need to know before your trail
Following the death of her husband, Emily is happy to find herself surrounded by friends and fellow Oxford peers at the rustic Chalet des Anglais in the French Alps. With no electricity, running water, or access by car, surely this trip will offer her the time and space she needs to heal.
But before she makes it to the airport, Emily interrupts a break-in at her home, and on the first night at the chalet, she discovers an inappropriate sexual liaison between an undergrad and a colleague.

Travel Guide
St Gervais les bains – Haute Savoie
“There’s not a cloud in the vaulting blue sky and the snowcapped mountains that rise from the valley flor are sstonishingly close and extend much further twoard the clear blue heavens that seesms possible. It’s a vista that stretches one’s field of vision, that forces a resassesment. The world seems open here. Bigger and wider and startingly open.”
The scene setting here is wonderfully realistic. The sharp writing mimics the crispness of the air. The slopes, the ski lodge, chalet and the ski lifts up the mountains are very atmospheric. You can see everything so clearly and really feel you are there. Hopefully not with anyone in the novel as well, things get dangerous….
