The adrenaline of the character seeps through to the reader. Such a good locked room style mystery as well, you cant get more locked in and claustrophobic than this!

He is to do this with no oxygen and in a year. I really feel as if I know something about the word of climbing now – or at least I get the excitement, the perseverance and the inbuilt desire to climb no matter what. I really like the authors writing style, I felt like I was there on the mountain (though this has put me off any such activities 😂)I thought that it was good, that as a reader we got an insight how these exhibitions are planned, not just the thriller side of the story. I need to take off my boots and have a sit down.
It's very thrilling and tense right the way through. I was firmly in the shoes of main character Cecily Wong, as she headed to the mountain in Nepal to interview a famous climber and climb the mountain herself. This mountain of a book has floored me but it was totally worth it. By the time she finds the first body, my pulse was up and racing.
The attention to detail, the trials and tribulations of climbing, the worries, the tricks and tips are all there and they wonderfully create a very believable world of tension, power trips and how to climb a monster of a mountain. This time she is chasing a story about the famous Charles McVeigh as he tackles the last summit in his challenge of being the person to climb the 14 mountains in the world with the highest peaks.
I liked the fact how this climb was relevant to the one Cecily had done before. The author herself climbed this mountain and it shows.
