Successful artist, Foster Treherne, has always wondered what happened to his father thirty years before. His father went missing before Foster was born whilst his mother committed suicide when he was one year old. Now an avalanche uncovers a frozen body in a Swiss glacier. Foster travels to see the body and the autopsy reveals signs of possible accidental death or foul play. Believing his father's journal may hold the clues, Foster decides to investigate his father's death, and starts to track down members of a group his father was with in the weeks before his death. Foster soon gets the impression that there are things that the members of the group want to keep secret, perhaps even murder.

This was a good mystery which had some twists and turns in the investigation but didn't draw things out too long. I liked most of the characters apart from Daniela. Her role in the story was paper thin and I'm not a fan of female characters who are there mainly to provide the romance. Overall though I did enjoy reading it so I would rate it 3.5 stars (rounded up to 4).

Thanks to NetGalley and publishers, Amazon Publishing UK/Thomas & Mercer, for the opportunity to read an ARC. I am voluntarily giving an honest review.
