A review by matt_and_cheez
Beneath the Mountain by Luca D'Andrea
4.0
I loved this book as a thriller. To me it had The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo vibes with its frozen, isolated setting, and its protagonist as an amateur sleuth talking to a cast of suspicious characters. I did guess the killer about halfway through the book, but it was still thrilling to see how things would unfold.
I hated this book as a book. Clearly it was rushed through translation and publishing at least in the US edition. It's full of spelling and grammar errors, weird formatting issues, and awkward-sounding English. The protagonist is meant to be American yet he uses British terms in dialogue. The translator did not do this book a favor.
If you can ignore problems like that and press on through the novel, it's well worth it.
