Cecily Wong is a journalist who has been promised an exclusive interview with renowned mountain climber, Charles McVeigh. However, there is one condition, Charles won't do the interview until Cecily has summited the Manaslu, the 8th highest peak in the world. Cecilly is anxious due to a previous incident on a mountain, however she can't ignore the opportunity. The story is terrifying as Cecily begins hearing and seeing things while on the mountain. When a climber dies mysteriously, the terror ratchets up. As the stakes and the climb gets higher, Cecily starts wondering who to trust. The writing was very descriptive allowing you to imagine the bleakness and the danger of the mountain, the necessity to depend on your team, and the terror in not knowing who is a danger to you. It will leave you breathless. > Just after summiting Manaslu in September 2019, while still in the death zone, I sat down in the snow, took out my notebook and started to write. What I wrote up there won’t see the light of day – I was hypoxic, exhausted and my handwriting is almost impossible to read! But I knew even then that I had to write a novel about my time on the mountain. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Breathless is a thriller / mystery set on an expedition climbing Manaslu in the Himalaya - the 8th highest mountain on earth.
A quick read that was fairly predictable but still a great page turner. It’s a good beach read. ( )
