What They're Saying
Critics Review
Breathless is a high-altitude, high-stakes thriller that combines fascinating, authentic mountaineering experience with pure thriller entertainment. The suspense rises like the Nepalese mountain it is set on. Reminded me of the best of Michael Crichton, where in-depth knowledge and a masterful plot work together to create a tense adrenaline-fuelled ride. I loved it – Matt Haig * Sunday Times bestselling author of The Midnight Library *If you’re looking for a book to thrill and transport you, then Breathless is the read for you! Set high in the chilling Death Zone, this thriller had me on the edge of my seat. I loved being immersed in the competitive, high-stakes world of alpine climbing and Amy brilliantly evokes how risky this setting is, a setting that can only get deadlier with a murderer on the mountain… A must read for 2022 – Sarah Pearse, Sunday Times bestselling author of The SanatoriumStunning. Suffocatingly tense, highly original and exhilarating, Breathless is an early contender for thriller of the year * Daily Express *
Tense, chilling and terrifying with unforgettable characters and an unpredictable and atmospheric plot. One of the most original thrillers I’ve read. It deserves to be huge!
– Claire Douglas, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Couple at No. 9A vertigo-inducing page-turner by an author who brings the high-stakes world of expert mountain-climbing to life on the page – Nita Prose, Sunday Times bestselling author of The MaidGripping. Thrilling. A visceral account of a novice’s struggles with thin air and exhaustion * Sunday Times *This thriller would be unsettling enough at sea level, but in the death zone, it’s suffocatingly tense. McCulloch combines extreme mountaineering with murder to create a novel that’s chilling, vivid, and entirely unique.
– Abigail Dean, Sunday Times bestselling author of Girl AThe ultimate high-altitude mountain thriller. Ice-cold, twisting, deadly and doesn’t put a foot wrong. It took me on a chilling journey to the death zone, and I loved it! – Janice Hallett, Sunday Times bestselling author of The AppealA blockbuster worthy thriller * OK! *Nail-biting, chilling, totally exhilarating - a true triumph – Stacey Halls, Sunday Times bestselling author of The FamiliarsAbout The Author
