This would be a good pool or beach read. It's set in the French Alps, so it may cool you down in the hot summer sun. A couple go out for an early morning ski run and are caught in an avalanche. They manage to survive and make it down the mountain, only to discover that the quaint ski village is empty. There is no one around. No one. Slowly, they discover that there is something wrong. I guessed the twist fairly early on, but I enjoyed the book and found the ending to be very poignant.
