Breathless by Amy McCulloch came from ideas from the author’s own climb up Mount Manaslu, the eighth highest peak in the world. “Cicely Wong is a journalist and novice climber. She must summit Manaslu to get a coveted interview with Charles McVeigh, one of the most acclaimed mountaineers in the world. People start dying and Cicely soon realizes she must use her wits to survive the altitude and the killer on the mountain.” The author does a great job of capturing the experience on the mountain. You can feel the cold and lack of oxygen. I was hoping for more with this book after so many great reviews. The last 20% is great. Lots of tension and some unexpected twists. But it felt like work to get there. A nice audio performance by Katie Leung. Kudos to the author for summitting an 8000 meter peak.
