'The Sanatorium will keep you checking over your shoulder. This spine-tingling, atmospheric thriller has it all: an eerie Alpine setting, sharp prose, and twists you'll never see coming. A must-read.' RICHARD OSMAN
'An eerie, atmospheric novel that had me completely on the edge of my seat.' RESSE WITHERSPOON
'At first glance they're magnificent, yet the more she looks, the more she realizes how sinister the mountains appear: raw, jagged spikes. It's not hard to imagine, she thinks, looking out; this place somehow consuming someone, swallowing them whole.'
An imposing, isolated hotel, high up in the Swiss Alps, is the last place Elin Warner wants to be. But she's taken time off from her job as a detective, so when she receives an invitation out of the blue to celebrate her estranged brother's recent engagement, she has no choice but to accept.
Arriving in the midst of a threatening storm, Elin immediately feels on edge. Though it's beautiful, something about the hotel, recently converted from an abandoned sanatorium, makes her nervous - as does her brother, Isaac.
And when they wake the following morning to discover his fiancée Laure has vanished without a trace, Elin's unease grows. With the storm cutting off access to and from the hotel, the longer Laure stays missing, the more the remaining guests start to panic.
But no-one has realized yet that another woman has gone missing. And she's the only one who could have warned them just how much danger they're all in . . .

Excellent
I really enjoyed this creepy whodoneit. I'm reminded of Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express, with the isolated location and mysterious cast of characters. Highly recommend for a dark & stormy night.

Fantastic winter read
Listened to this on the recommendation of Reese Witherspoon’s Book Club. Will not disappoint. Loved the European charm and the Swiss landscape escape.

Doesn't fulfill its potential
A good story and the narrator has a nice voice but doesn't create distinct characters so it all gets a bit bland.

Predictable, with a meh ending
Great writing, but story is mostly predictable and albeit a little confusing. The narrator did a fantastic job with the characters and accents though. And the ending was pretty meh.

One to concentrate on
It was good but you really had to concentrate and it got rather repetitive at times

Hard to Follow
Will have to give this one another listen and I found it hard to follow first time around. The story moves a little too slowly and gets bogged down in some unnecessary details, and then important things are muddied. Overall interesting enough but the ending felt a little crazy. Some interacting themes that don't quite get explored sufficiently.
