Breathless by Amy McCulloch
4.0
3.5 ⭐️ rounded up to 4⭐️
The atmosphere created throughout this is fantastic and it’s clear that the author had experience of similar conditions to write it so convincingly. For me though it was the climbing, the mountain and the atmosphere that put the ‘thrill’ into this thriller because it seemed so obvious who the killer was right from the moment they showed up and I was left thinking ‘eventually!’ when our main character caught on. For the atmosphere alone though this was a great read and maybe I’ve just read too many thrillers/mysteries and that’s why I spotted our killer, lol!
