4.0

This is my first Sarah Moss book, and it lived up to expectations.  The story of a group of archeologists in Greenland during the start of a global pandemic, and what happens when technology fails, tension rises, and something else seems to be haunting them.  I love a good atmospheric book, and that was this.  I never expected to turn the pages so quick for a plot in which nothing too much actually happens.  I couldn't put it down during the first half.  During the second half, the story starts to fall flat with the same things happening but not culminating, and then a lot happens at the very end.  I really look forward to more of Moss' books.
