About this listen
“Susi Holliday is one of our best and most original creators of tense and twisty tales.”—Ian Rankin
Four hikers enter the mountains. Only two return. But is it tragedy? Or treachery?
When sisters Cat and Ginny travel with their husbands to the idyllic Swiss Alps for a hiking holiday, it’s not just a chance to take in the stunning scenery. It’s an opportunity to reconnect with each other after years of drifting apart—and patch up marriages that are straining at the seams.
As they head into the mountains, morale is high, but as the terrain turns treacherous, cracks in the relationships start to show. With worrying signs that someone might be following them, the sun begins to set and exhaustion kicks in. Suddenly, lost high on a terrifying ridge, tensions spill over—with disastrous consequences.
When only two of the four hikers make it down from the mountain, the police press them for their story—but soon become suspicious when their accounts just don’t add up.
What really happened up on that ridge? Who are the survivors? And what secrets are they trying to hide?

“Imogen Church's spirited narration brings the protagonists alive in this suspenseful mystery and helps make this a standout listen.… Church's strong characterizations differentiate the key personalities, emphasizing their flaws and making them almost a pleasure to dislike. In particular, Church's presentation of Ginny's spiteful, whiny voice is spot-on. Church is careful not to give away important plot points with her narration, and she uses just the right creepy tones to help build the tension as the story moves towards an over-the-top climax.”—AudioFile Magazine
“We inhaled this galloping, twisty read in a single sitting.”—Crime Monthly
“An edge-of-your seat thriller where the sense of menace ratchets higher with every step along the hiking path. Utterly immersive with brilliant storytelling, it’s smart, scary and ingeniously moreish.”—Steph Broadribb, author of Death in the Sunshine

Brilliant story
Not added to by the audiobook reader - the volume was up & down, up and down. Very hard to listen to as you need to constantly adjust the volume. Pity, as a brilliant story.

Good story line
I found the characters tedious. The story tedious and slow moving, over acted. Would be more enjoyable as a film. The ending was predictable seeing as how despicable the lead character was.
