In February 1959, a group of nine experienced hikers in the Russian Ural Mountains died mysteriously on an elevation known as Dead Mountain. Eerie aspects of the incident—unexplained violent injuries, signs that they cut open and fled the tent without proper clothing or shoes, a strange final photograph taken by one of the hikers, and elevated levels of radiation found on some of their clothes—have led to decades of speculation over what really happened. This gripping work of literary nonfiction delves into the mystery through unprecedented access to the hikers' own journals and photographs, rarely seen government records, dozens of interviews, and the author's retracing of the hikers' fateful journey in the Russian winter. A fascinating portrait of the young hikers in the Soviet era, and a skillful interweaving of the hikers narrative, the investigators' efforts, and the author's investigations, here for the first time is the real story of what happened that night on Dead Mountain.

Slow. Good one to far asleep by.

The writing is capable, the case is presented with logical structure and admirable pacing, and the author largely avoids the more fantastical conjecture (aliens, government conspiracy, escaped psychopath, etc). He went so far as to travel to Russia, interview family members and the one reclusive survivor, and retrace the footsteps of the expedition. Despite "hanging his hat" on the Vortex/Infrasound theory, Eichar painstakingly tries to be objective and largely succeeds.
[I personally think the recently-proposed subsistence "slab" avalanche hypothesis makes the most sense]:

As is often the case where authors read their own work, Eichar is an inferior reader. His diction and timbre are fine, but his cadence is lilting & staccato, his tone is too matter-of-fact, and he reads much too slowly (I recommend listening to this book at 1.25X). I would describe the performance as "adequate". Audible Studios probably should have insisted on a professional reader.
Despite some drawbacks in production value, however, this fascinating exposé is worth 8 stars out of 10. 'Dead Mountain' is packed with information about a genuine unsolved modern mystery and is well worth a listen.
Intriguing. Exhaustive.
