I‘m giving this book a pick the unique setting. It‘s winter in Antarctica and a doctor has to be flown in to a UN research facility to replace the last doctor who died. Even though she‘s still recovering from wounds she suffered in an accident she quickly can tell that something is wrong. The issues I had with this book are: why would the UN pick a prescription painkiller addicted doctor? Why was the station chief so chill about murder? ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I enjoyed this for the most part. Figured out who pretty quickly. It was good and then it just became a mess. Overall it was good but not great. 🌟🌟🌟💫
Book 1 for #fabulousfebruary finished!
Preschool pickup and my book! 😍 #fabulousfebruary
On our way home from a quick trip to see my dad. 1 1/2 hours of reading time ☺️
Decided to start another book set in a freezing atmosphere! 😳 I don‘t really like winter but I‘m all in for reading about it. 🤣
#ScarathlonDailyPrompts #Day11 #Dark I read this one around Xmas. It‘s a thriller set at the UN Research station in Antarctica where they all get picked off one by one during the winter in the dark. #Scarathlon #TeamSlaughter 6pts
Very tense and definitely an easy read.
I really enjoyed the murder plot, I liked the twists and the pacing and the Antarctic setting was really atmospheric and creepy. Having said that, I really didn‘t need the focus on the MC and her substance abuse issues and unresolved feelings about her ex boyfriend. Those things weren‘t really gone into on much detail so it didn‘t really feel deep, just a distraction from the murder. I felt like that could so easily have just not been there
When the new doctor at a remote Antarctic research facility learns her predecessor died under mysterious circumstances, she begins digging into the case. She soon realizes exactly how grave her mistake is when one of the few winter staff turns up dead. Now she‘s trapped until the end of the season and can‘t be sure who she can trust!
I loved this! It‘s a fun snowed in suspense read!
I loved this! A group on a research base over winter struggle to survive when someone is killing team members. Trapped in freezing temperatures and 24 hour darkness the setting was amazing. If I hadn't known better I would have believed the author had been to Antarctica. While I did predict the ending, I loved the ride getting there. I do wish the main character was slightly less annoying and I would have liked more romantic drama.
Bk4 of December & #WinterGames2021 is done! I was looking forward to this one but I must admit,I‘m underwhelmed.A locked room mystery set on an Antarctic base during winter, the setting was well written but the plot was a bit predictable.Oh well, better luck next time🤷🏻♀️ #AVeryMerryBingo #MerryBookmas2021 #TisTheReadson #AVeryMerryReadathon #WinterCosy #WrapItUpReadathon #ChristmasFilmsReadathon #DecembersBookBingo #MistletoeManiacs 2,826pts👇
I really wanted to love this, I love reading about Antarctica. But I found it to be just a middling murder mystery. It was fine.
Audiowalking in Antarctica (well the book is in Antarctica, it's not quite so cold where Daisy and I are).
An exciting and suspenseful murder mystery which had me gripped until the last page. It‘s a real chiller thriller in more than one sense of the word! I love the setting, it gave me the shivers. The tension racks up beautifully, I was on the edge of my seat most of the time. It did get a little incredulous and unbelievable on occasions but, hey ho, that‘s literary licence for you. A rollicking good read! #Pigeonhole
I love books set in places like Antarctica so this was a must-read for me. It was largely enjoyable,& the author really managed to get across the claustrophobic feel of being stuck on an isolated research station in almost total darkness. It was a thrilling read, even if I did work out the killer from early on, it didn't spoil things. 4🌟
Thanks to NetGalley & publishers, Hodder & Stoughton, for the opportunity to read an ARC.
The dark winter months of Antarctica make this a fun twist on the locked-room murder mystery trope! #TheDark #NetGalley #Antarctica
