This book is one of my favorite sub-genres; essentially a locked room mystery set during the winter. The atmosphere of this book is absolutely chilling. The author did a phenomenal job at detailing Antartica and creating bone-chilling thrills. This is definitely a slow-burn, but it is so important to build up the tension that comes from the dark isolation, creating that claustrophobic feeling. Each character had their own secrets which made them all very suspicious. I was completely thrown off by all the twists and turns, I didn’t see the ending coming. I really enjoyed all aspects of this book. It was chilling and terrifying, intense and atmospheric. It was a perfect winter read. I highly recommend it if you’re looking for a winter thriller!
