ejsidney's review against another edition
3.0
This book was better than I expected. I read it because I am going to Chamonix in a couple of weeks and like to read a novel based in the place I am going to travel to get a feel for the place. I am also reading Frankenstein for that purpose. This was good to read, because it is more current and there are some legitimate references to places to visit when we go. I expected this to be "pulpy" or like other crime thriller books. It wasn't. While the book was peripherally about a crime, it is really a book about self loathing vs self worth with beautiful descriptions of the area. I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to recommend it, unless you were traveling there.
