The Greatest Unsolved Mystery of the 20th Century

Fact: During the night of February 1, 1959, in the remote reaches of Siberia, nine Russian hikers slash open their tent from the inside and flee into a blizzard in subpolar temperatures. Fact: By morning all are dead, several having suffered gruesome, violent deaths. What happened to them has baffled investigators and researchers to this day.

It has become known as the Dyatlov Pass Incident.

Now, an American true-crime writer seeking answers to the enduring mystery sets out to retrace the hikers' steps on their fateful expedition. However, nothing can prepare him for what he is about to discover....

I don’t want to give this away but when they were in the caverns I began to have an asthma attack. I had to go outside! About mid way I couldn’t stop listening, excellent work!
The narrator seems to move closer and farther from the microphone making the story not flow well at times. This is easy to not notice as much once you’re hooked!

I had an asthma attack!

The idea, good. The story, bad.

Every person seems to be in lala land. They are lost even when not in peril. The repetitious never ending annoying exposition bounces from flashbacks that unsuccessfully connect or just completely contradict the mainline parts of the story. I love horror. Horror that can carry itself without so much pointless dragging on. It looses itself all the way to the end. I feel the author wanted to write a book that was longer than the average horror novel, so he filled it with too much exposition. Pointless exposition. Just removing the nonsensical expositions would have cut the story in half. At least! But don’t take my word for it, listen for yourself. But I don’t recommend.

Well, not great.

There is maybe one likeable character in this story, the plot predictable and the narration was servicable.

Ok, but...

I don't think the narrator could have sounded more uninterested in what he was reading and editing was horrible.

Narrator is horrible

I enjoyed this book at the beginning, but it dissolved into a nonsensical, monster story, that in parts was totally ridiculous. The narrator also had some very strange pronunciations of certain words.

A little too far-fetched
