About this deal

You don't get enough sense of the vastness and isolation and snowiness of the setting, though a curious penguin does make an appearance.

While this one fell victim to being a 'sophomore slump' for this author I will still keep my eye on McCulloch's forthcoming work, as I believe everyone deserves a second chance.

I did guess the main twist, and there were aspects of it that didn't really ring true, but I enjoyed the ride getting there and I was pleasantly surprised by some of the unexpected turns along the way. But as the situation heats up and the temperatures continue to plummet, she begins to wonder whether she might have booked a one-way ticket to her own demise. I also suppose I felt like I kept waiting for something significant to happen while reading this, and despite there being a couple murders and some action towards the very end I was still left wanting more and even felt like this one was actually left a bit open-ended or unresolved, but by that point I didn't really care anymore. Het verhaal heeft een vrij hoog tempo en de wendingen en gebeurtenissen volgen elkaar snel op, daarbij zijn er verrassende wendingen.

As I mentioned earlier, it did strongly feel more like a character growth story than a mystery-thriller. Olivia wants to support him in every way she can, especially after the mistake she made a few months ago, but her fear of boats and water after a childhood tragedy make it difficult.In September 2019, she became the youngest Canadian woman to climb Mt Manaslu in Nepal -- the world's eighth highest mountain. I was really rooting for Olivia to get answers and to find out who the person behind these events was. Her knowledge of the area and the risks that come with traveling there are described so perfectly and really perked in interest in adding a visit to my bucket list.

Amy’s books are absolutely amazing and my gods do I love a locked room mystery, even better it’s on a ship that’s set sail and there’s no getting off.

Combines an intricate murder mystery with lyrical passages describing ice cliffs and spectacular skies. Mystery and characterization are underwhelming, the heroine is unremarkable, and the art element felt shoe-horned in.He’s arranging an installation of work by his star artist on board the ship, it’s really going to be something special. There were many attempts to keep the momentum going, offering unexpected revelations for Olivia and difficult challenges that she had to overcome. Overall though, this was a decent atmospheric read, and if you’re looking for your next locked room mystery with a chilling setting, you’ll find it here.
