While this was a bit slower and less overtly thrilling as, say, a locked-room thriller, the two parallel mysteries and strong characters kept me hooked until the end. The writing is a notch above a lot of other thrillers. There were a few plot points that made it harder for me to suspend my disbelief
Spoilerwhy was the trail even open if there was even the most remote change of a landslide?? and I didn’t like the vague mention of the supernatural as an explanation for unpredictable weather
but it was still a quick and enjoyable read.
