2025 Thriller Book Club - CHV Debut discussion

It’s the start of hiking season so let’s start it with a bang! This thriller written by Lucy Clarke is about 4 women who take on hiking Blafjell Mountain in Norway. I can’t wait to start this one!

I’ve read it! I’ll give it a few days before posting my review tho 😜

I love a good nature thriller !! My favourite genre to be honest! Can’t wait to start this

Mine came in from the library last night! Going to charge my kindle and start tonight!

How did I not know there was a whole genre of book like this?

Wow. I couldn’t put this one down. I messed up and read it too early, so might be fuzzy on the details, but I was hooked. I was picturing the movie in my head the whole time. The beautiful scenery, the tension, the music I made up lol. But yeah, I am definitely going to read more like this. It was a true escape, I loved reading it.

Jennifer - I also loved this book!! Once I got to the second half I couldn’t put it down. I had to stay up late reading hehe.

I loved the character development and the strong female leads. Each person had a distinct and important personality. Personally, my favourite character was Helena. I liked her bluntness and willingness to try new things. She also seemed like a true friend to Maggie throughout the book.

Spoiler alert**** 🚨 below:
Okay so was anyone else shocked about the cocaine in the mountain? That took me for a big turn. Like what?!

My favourite scene was the rainstorm - the way the author was able to make me feel like I right there nervous about getting hit my lightning was amazing!

I like nature thrillers (my personal fav genre) which is why I picked this book for the book club. Other books to read that have similar vibes
- Shiver by Allie Reynolds
- Breathless by Amy McCulloch

Correction: Shiver by Allie Reynolds

Spoiler: yes, the cocaine twist was not something I saw coming! And the way the author described the mountain pass, I felt like I was in a movie, right up there, feeling the panic and not being able to move… I can so relate to this kind of fear and panic!

Great pick!
I finished day 2 to the end in one day. I couldn’t stop reading!
The cocaine twist was not what I expected. And the true villain was also not what I expected.
The characters had so much depth. I loved the storylines weaved in.

I’m so late to comment on this one as it has been a crazy month but WOW I loved it too. Was also shocked by the cocaine twist! I could not stop crying the last few pages, the power of friendship and love was so strong ❤️ like other scenes in the book, it really made you feel like you were right there and experiencing it all yourself. Definitely giving this one 5 stars!!!
