Fully engaging and page turning, you feel like you’re climbing the mountain yourself. Very fun

Atmospheric, but predictable. A good respite from the high temps and humidity of Indiana summer, but not thrilling enough to leave me ‘breathless’.

Yet another one that totes "thriller" and is instead more of a slow-burn mystery. I am wary of any newer books that market themselves as thrillers and ones that will "take your breath away". I would have enjoyed this more had I gone into it with the feeling of getting a mystery instead.
This isn't fast-paced at all. It's a very informative and detailed mystery. For someone who doesn't know anything about mountain climbing, I did initially find all the information interesting. But as this went along, it tended to drag on a bit. Eventually it became too much about mountaineering and not enough about the actual circumstances of the story.
Also, I knew from early in the beginning who the murderer was. It was easy to sniff out for me as the story progressed, and that took some of the enjoyment away.
Cecily is a love/hate for me. She was extremely repetitive in her manners and thinking and after a while of being in her head it became a tad tedious and I almost DNFd.
I'm sure this is all me, as I tend to read a lot of horror and thrillers and most newer books just don't hold a candle to the previous ones I've read. It seems "thriller" is fastly becoming a loosely termed genre.
Even so, if you've had your eye on this one, grab it and give it a go. Chances are you will enjoy it more.

I thought this book would leave me breathless or at least at the seat of my chair but it was a rather calm and slightly predictable thriller. I actually enjoyed the descriptions of the mountaineering the most but even that felt very safe - usually the excerpts I read made me clutch my chest and fear for the climber. This one felt very placid as if I was on a hike instead of on the cliff of a mountain. I really wanted to like this one more but it was just an ok read for me.
