Meg has a new degree in journalism, but no job prospects. She is thrilled when she bumps into the editor of an outdoors magazine and is offered a job. The big problem: she is terrified of heights and has no outdoor adventure experience. On her first outing, a climber falls (or is pushed?) off the trail and dies on the rocks below. Meg is convinced it’s murder and continues to dig for evidence. Meg’s naive and seems to lack common sense, but she is a fun character.
I have read and enjoyed other Ellie Alexander books and this is a fun read, too. Being from the Portland area, I loved reading about familiar places and the descriptions were spot on. And, just like Meg, I didn’t carry an umbrella.
Thanks to Storm Publishing and NetGalley for the ARC.

Employment desperate Meg Reed enhances her resume to get a job at Northwest Extreme magazine. She really doesn’t like doing more than walking. When assigned to report on Race the States in Oregon’s Columbia River Gorge, she has to put on her pink hiking boots and stagger her way up hill, only to witness a man falling off a cliff to his death. Meg and her friend Matt are fun and young, the description of Oregon’s mountains are amazing, and it has a great set up for many more mysteries to come. Thrilled to get to read this reissue of Ellie Alexander’s Meg Reed Investigates series.

Thank you to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for this DRC.
