About this listen
In 1976, four friends - Dan, Fred, Tim, and Thierry - are on a bus along the hippie trail from London to Kathmandu. But everything is not going according to plan.
After a drug deal goes wrong, the boys barely escape with their lives. Thousands of kilometers, numerous acid trips, accidents, nightclubs, and a pair of beautiful Siamese twins later, they finally reach the counter-culture capital of the world, Kathmandu, and Fred disappears with the drug money.
A quarter-century later, mysterious emails invite the other three to pick up their share of the money, and they decide to reunite in Kathmandu. Soon, a trail of kidnapping and murder leads them across the Roof of the World.
With the help of Dan’s backpacking son, a tattooed lady, and a Buddhist angel, the aging hippies try to solve a 25-year-old mystery that takes them amongst Himalayan peaks, and toward the inevitable showdown with their past.

First-rate international crime thriller.
Starts off with four stoned idiots and...well...
I loved how the story progressed through all the changing situations and characters. And what it all built up to as well.
Really a great listen.

sense of place
The sense of place was superb. you could really picture the different locations and people filling them. However, I struggled to follow what was going on particularly when it would swap between time periods. I wonder if this one would actually be better to read rather than listen to. The narrator was good at the voices, but I found the narration between the dialogue a bit stilted. overall I struggled to relate to the characters, but think my enjoyment may have been enhanced if it was in a different format. Thank you to the author and publisher for my gifted copy in return for my honest review.
