I absolutely love anything to do with mountaineering (aside from actually doing it), ever since I read/watched Into Thin Air. This book had such a unique concept - but I found it more interesting to read about them climbing the mountain than working out who the murderer is! It was tense, chilling and entirely original, although the ending didn’t quite tie up all the loose ends that I wanted it to. 

“Where better for a killer to hide, than somewhere already known as the death zone?”
