Searching for a book title from a plot description?
I've been looking for a book I've previously read for a while now, but haven't been able to figure out the title at all.
The basic premise of the plot was that there has been a mysterious death at a research station in the Arctic/Antarctica, and I don't remember why the victims were killed, but the method used to kill them was to grind up some moss/lichen/other from under the ice shelves and add it to the talcum powder people were using to put their snow suits on.
I think maybe it killed them by absorbing all the oxygen in their blood?
If anyone can assist me with the title I would greatly appreciate it.

Travis, I poked around a little and didn't find it. I was surprised how many murder mysteries there seem to be with an Arctic setting.
But there are other places you can ask.
https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/185-what-s-th... is a Goodreads group with searchable discussion posts and thousands of questions and answers.
http://www.librarything.com/groups/namethatbook is a large Library Thing group, many of them librarians, who help solve title mysteries. Maybe ask here first?
https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthatbook/ is an enormous thread of users trying to help others remember book titles. Said to be good for scifi and fantasy, an for frequently-sought titles.
http://forums.abebooks.com/discussions/AbeBookscom... is AbeBooks, where it's mostly booksellers helping us find forgotten titles.
