This is a story of a group of climbers together again to climb Everest to find the body of Derek Sodoc lost on expedition the previous year. Derek's extremely rich father puts pressure on the climbers that were with his son when he died. Those men are Scott Devlin, Peer, Dr Calvin, Rusty and Tom, there are also three women Crystal,Diana and Tarja the widow. While reading this book it is almost like being on the mountain with the climbers, you learn about high altitude sickness, extreme cold and what it can do to your body, you also learn about the locale ans its people, the Sherpa.

Murder on Everest is the second book I have read in the Summit Murder Mystery series and I can't wait to read them all, they are wonderful, beautifully written books and this comes from a person who does not like to read anything in a series.

Bravo Mr. Irion and Mr. Watson please keep up the good work! ( )
