Summary: A Grand Romp through the Himalayas
Review: As a mystery, there was not much suspense or surprise, but what captivated me about this book was the descriptions of the Himalayas, and the portrayal of the experience in a strange culture at high altitude. It transported me to another world. In all, it was a grand romp through the Himalayas, with tasteful deference to local cultures. It's a fast read; definitely worth the time for those who have never been to that part of the world, or who enjoy reminiscing on the experience.
