Why read it?

1 author picked Breathless as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This suspense story takes an already deadly dangerous setting – one of the world’s highest peaks – and sets a female journalist and climber to identify and survive a murderer.

The author writes so well from her personal experience, that I can feel every frozen breath and learn every step needed to stay alive. All this spectacular scenery, well-developed characters, and a mystery to solve too.
