1. Scene of the Climb by Kate Dyer-Seeley

It is a mystery book about participants in an extreme sports - "Survivor"-like.

They have been racing in different states and are now in Oregon.

The narrator is a recent graduate of journalism who got a job at a publication dedicated to extreme sport and her assignment is to cover the Oregon event. Until she witnessed someone falling down a cliff. An accident or a murder?

Their warmups are climbing to Angel's Rest along the Columbia River Gorge.

What a love letter to the area! The climb, with the sheer cliffs with no place to dig one's fingers is described with details.

Another chapter describes with details Multnomah Falls, the history, the bridge and the lodge built in the 1920s.

I don't know yet whodunit, but the descriptions of the area are fascinating.
