Publisher's summary
An electrifying debut thriller for fans of Lucy Foley and Ruth Ware.
One dead body.
Twelve suspects.
Twenty-four-hour darkness.
In the most inhospitable environment - cut off from the rest of the world - there's a killer on the loose.
A&E doctor Kate North has been knocked out of her orbit by a personal tragedy. So when she's offered the chance to be an emergency replacement at the UN research station in Antarctica, she jumps at the chance. The previous doctor, Jean-Luc, died in a tragic accident while out on the ice.
The move seems an ideal solution for Kate: no one knows about her past; no one is checking up on her. But as total darkness descends for the winter, she begins to suspect that Jean-Luc's death wasn't accidental at all. And the more questions she asks, the more dangerous it becomes for them all....

Expected More
I thought the end would be more exciting. The story is overall very misleading. Too many threads. But, since admittedly I couldn’t guess the killer … meh … I give it 3 stars

Kept my attention
I really enjoyed listening to this book. Interesting story with a flawed MC, which I liked.

Started off liking this and then lost patience
The reviews were solid, for the most part, so I had high hopes. Apologies to Kristin Atherton, but I struggled to relate to the reading, as Kate's character sounded so high-pitched and desperate all the time -- she stayed at one emotional register. Granted the character was in an impossible situation, but dramatically speaking it was hard for me to care about her because every moment was so elevated. I wonder if that would be the same if I were reading on the page -- doubt it. After about two-thirds into the book, I fast-forwarded to the final chapters because, well, enough was enough. I don't recommend this audible book.
