I'm often disappointed when a book is labeled as a thriller or suspense title and it misses the mark. But...I'm happy to say that Burnett's book is not one of those! Instead he had me staying up late listening for 'just one more' chapter.
Glaciologist Rachael is one of the last researchers left in the station in Antarctica. A radio message delivers unbelievable news... and... I'm going to let you discover what's next.
Rachel is a great lead character - she's clever, dogged and strong, mentally and physically. But the odds are against her - alone with dwindling resources.
Burnett does a great job with the setting. Nothing but snow, the unbelievable cold and the wrath of mother nature.
There's a number of 'Oh I didn't see that coming' that changes the storyline many times.
I chose to listen to Whiteout. I've said it before but I'll say it again. I find that I much myself more immersed in a tale. Thea was definitely the course with Whiteout. The narrator was award winning Billie Fulford Brown. She is a amazing reader! She speaks clearly and is easy to understand. She captures the fear, the anger and determination of Rachel. And what else follows. An excellent presentation and a great book.
And as the publisher says "perfect for fans of The Martian. I agree.
