Great read, respects the victims and appears well-researched. The three storylines are well chosen to highlight different aspects of the case and create a good building of tension without feeling exploitative; and the theory reached by the author in the end feels solid. Lots of historical pictures and info

A pesar de saber todo lo relacionado al caso, se me hizo muy interesante tener más contexto histórico y político, lo que generalmente se omite en los podcast.
No me gustó cómo manejaron la línea de tiempo, porque odio los saltos hacia atrás y hacia adelante. Además, me pareció un poco hipócrita por parte del escritor que se sintiera decepcionado porque habían personas pensando que la muerte de estos jóvenes era una conspiración del gobierno, cuando él mismo estaba super paranoico, al punto de colocar pistas falsas en su computadora sobre la razón de su viaje, por si acaso lo investigaban.
La documentación del viaje del autor fue, claramente, lo que menos me gustó, porque a la larga creo que con él no logró nada diferente a lo que otros antes de él.
Finalmente, la hipótesis sobre los vórtices de kármán, me gusta mucho. Esa fue la razón por la que leí este libro, porque quería saber un poco más sobre este fenómeno y sus implicaciones con el caso. Sin embargo, evidentemente, no hay forma de replicarlo ni de estar totalmente seguros de que fuera el caso del Paso Dyatlov.
Quedé un poco con ganas de saber más del fenómeno, si alguien tal vez sabe un poco sobre los vórtices de kármán o conoce un libro que lo explique para tontos, por favor hágamelo saber.

I was actually pretty disappointed in this book. It spends entirely too much time talking about the author’s own trip to Russia to interview the family of those who died and the one surviving member of the group and find his own answers to what happened to the hikers. Unfortunately, he did this without an interpreter so he didn’t understand most of what anyone was telling him. He missed major points or emails because of poor translation.
This book was already pretty short and, with the number of images included, his narration of his own trip to Russia took up too many pages that could have been used to give us the plethora of details about the Dyatlov case that were left out. The theories on what could have possibly happened were glossed over at best. I may be wrong, but it felt like he left out details of the case because they may have conflicted with his own idea of what happened to the hikers based on what others have looked into. I’ve listened to several podcast episodes on this topic and they all managed to give more information than this book did.
This is a very interesting unsolved mystery that I feel that the author could have done so much more with, instead of detailing his travels and the feelings his family had towards him taking off to “investigate” this case.
