About this listen
Chosen for Simon Mayo's Radio 2 Book Club, this is the chilling new ghost story from the best-selling author of Dark Matter.
The Himalayas, 1935.
Kangchenjunga. Third-highest peak on earth. Greatest killer of them all.
Five Englishmen set off from Darjeeling, determined to conquer the sacred summit. But courage can only take them so far - and the mountain is not their only foe.
As the wind dies, the dread grows. Mountain sickness. The horrors of extreme altitude. A past that will not stay buried.
And sometimes, the truth does not set you free.

Less resonance than her last book
By no means bad, but missing the emotional impact and real sense of dread/horror of the excellent Dark Matter

Eery
Loved this book. I listened to Dark Matter first, and I did find myself comparing the two. I found the story a little too similar, however it took on it's own life in the second half and there was definitely a twist that offered a little bit of horror. A slow burn, eery and atmospheric novel. Not really that scary though. The narration was excellent.

Great ghost story.
Very similar structure to Michelle's other ghost story Dark Matter but I don't mind that at all. Emotional and isolating - it's definitely a fun ghost story :) I wanted a horror with the dangers of climbing and I got it. Now I'm off to see if Michelle has written any more horror.

A poor cousin to Dark matter
It's a shame to get to the end of this book without any of the feelings of Michele Paver's former ghost story, Dark Matter. In several ways this is a faint photocopy of that fine book.
Cannot recommend, because Dark Matter exists, and if you want a great ghost story, go straight to it.
Paver's other books, especially the Wolf Brother series are so brilliant, this is not written with the same conviction nor their finely hewn prose.
