This reads more like an action adventure novel than a thriller, but is still incredibly fun!

The plot is intense and the climb is well paced. I was right there with Cecily while she attempted to summit the mountain. The descriptions are great fun and the whodunit, while a bit obvious, is greatly detailed. I didn't find any of the usual plot holes I come across at times with mysteries and I really did like the way the entire thing pieced itself together.

Overall, a fun and exciting read that lends itself well to someone wanting to climb a mountain but not wanting to do all the work. Also, this activated in me a new fear of precipitation, so that's cool.
