Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of this book.
This book was an incredible read! I have never really delved into the mystery and thrillers genre until recently and it isn't because I dislike it, I've just never been exposed to it. I could not put this book down. Every chance I got to read this book I would, and there were multiple times this week I would fall asleep trying to finish just one more chapter.
The cast of characters are all flawed and diving into their own personal issues on this trip, and being forced to deal with the eventual unraveling of how all their problems are connected. The side characters are interesting, leaving the hairs on the back of your neck standing with what their motives could be. The plot twists are well placed, the pacing of this book goes so well with the tensions rising as the characters climb the summit. The ending is bittersweet; the revelations to their problems being realistic in that they can't be solved overnight. Life issues take time to work out and mend. I truly enjoyed reading this book and highly recommend for those looking for an intro into the mysteries and thrillers genre such as myself.
