My entire life I have had a fascination with Everest and the 7 summits. This book introduced me to the idea of climbing the 14 eight-thousanders. As well it is was my first fiction book on the topic. After having read High Crimes: The Fate of Everest in a Time of Greed by Michael Kodas though I am convinced this book isn’t too far from the possible truth on some climbing expeditions. I suppose that is what makes a good thriller, when one believes it could really happen.
Anyone who is interested in thrillers set in the most unreachable places in the world will be fascinated by this story. The climbing lingo, the setting, the characters, all combine to make this a worthwhile and exciting read. It kept me guessing until the very end.
Thank you Netgalley and Penguin Random House Canada for my advanced review copy of this book.

This was a wild, creepy ride! Not knowing who you can trust when you’re isolated on a mountain surrounded by strangers and suspicious things keep happening. Even when things were somewhat predictable I still enjoyed the surprises and even almost gasped out loud in the break room at work.
