An enjoyable informed story

It reads as if the author knows her stuff on the mountains and at times I forgot I was listening to fiction. Looking forward to more adventures with our heroine.

Unbelievably boring

I have no idea how this book has been classed as nail biting. 5 hours in and it’s a massive snooze fest. I can’t make myself listen until the end it’s so sloooow going. The characters are uninteresting the main character is just again.., boring.
The narrator tries but fails to distinguish between different voices and she’s also monotone. Maybe good if you’re struggling to fall asleep…

A chilling, immersive and incredible book

This is the best book I've listened to for a long set. Set in the epic Himalayan Mountains, this is a story of alpine heroism and murder. The scenes and settings make you feel like you are there on this epic climb with a murderer on the loose. Shiveringly amazing and I totally recommend this.

Breathtaking not Breathless

Totally enthralling from beginning to end. Fabulous storyline and descriptions of the environment so clear they immersed your senses as if you were watching a film.

Breathless I thought it was a weird Title!

I brought this book with my credit, but it was not the book I wanted. I picked the wrong book!
But it is so good I couldn’t put it down. The narrator, was fantastic,the story was brilliant. Overall, I was very happy with picking wrong book.

What a book!

The only word I can say is, wow. This was an absolutely fantastic read. It compelled me to do my own research into the dangers of mountain climbing and the mountains are really not to be messed with. It’s clear Amy has done a lot of research into writing this.
Onto the story itself, I couldn’t put it down. I loved the atmosphere of slowly building tension right from the word go. From Cecily’s sexist immature and jealous ex to paranoia and death. I was rooting for most of the team. There were times I laughed, scenes which made me cry and the tension towards the end was almost unbearable. The only thing I was a little sad about was I was left with a few unanswered questions, but then that does leave us with a mountain of our own, our imagination. Well done Amy, a truly brilliant read and it was also fascinating to learn about mountain climbing while reading a really good crime thriller along the way! I think Aly’s was my favourite character, with Zach not far behind. Would highly recommend this book to any thriller fans, although if you’re planning on climbing a mountain soon and considering a book to take with you, I don’t think this is the one you’ll want to pack! Perhaps you should read this when you’re back on firm ground again after you’ve reached the summit and made it safely back down!

Breathless

As if climbing mountains isn’t dangerous enough, it looks as if there might be a killer on the loose.
An interesting and different thriller.

Enjoyable

Absorbing mystery if you have an interest in the mountains. However, the ending seemed very rushed, which was at odds with the slow unfurling of the story up until then. There were technical things one could argue with, but that didn't really affect my enjoyment of the story.

enjoyable listen

An interesting look at climbing in the death zone from a beginners perspective. And a murder mystery rolled into one!
