À propos de cet audio

Reese's Book Club Pick | A New York Times best seller!

“An eerie, atmospheric novel that had me completely on the edge of my seat.” (Reese Witherspoon)

“This spine-tingling, atmospheric thriller has it all…and twists you’ll never see coming.” (Richard Osman, New York Times bestselling author of The Thursday Murder Club)

Sarah Pearse's next book, The Retreat, is forthcoming.

You won't want to leave...until you can't.

Half-hidden by forest and overshadowed by threatening peaks, Le Sommet has always been a sinister place. Long plagued by troubling rumors, the former abandoned sanatorium has since been renovated into a five-star minimalist hotel.

An imposing, isolated getaway spot high up in the Swiss Alps is the last place Elin Warner wants to be. But Elin's taken time off from her job as a detective, so when her estranged brother, Isaac, and his fiancée, Laure, invite her to celebrate their engagement at the hotel, Elin really has no reason not to accept.

Arriving in the midst of a threatening storm, Elin immediately feels on edge - there's something about the hotel that makes her nervous. And when they wake the following morning to discover Laure is missing, Elin must trust her instincts if they hope to find her. With the storm closing off all access to the hotel, the longer Laure stays missing, the more the remaining guests start to panic.

Elin is under pressure to find Laure, 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 are all in....

Ce que les critiques en disent

“CHILLING! The Sanatorium by Sarah Pearse is an eerie, atmospheric novel that had me completely on the edge of my seat. Let’s set the mood.... You’re in a remote location - at a hotel - and there’s a snowstorm. The winds are howling, the snow is pelting in every direction, there’s a missing person, and a dead body shows up!” (Reese Witherspoon)

“When guests at a five-star resort in the Alps disappear mid-blizzard, vacation’s over for detective Elin Warner. It’s The Shining but with a full house.” (People)

“Creepy, deeply claustrophobic, mind-numbing, teasing, twists and turns galore, this book is a towering example of a masterful hand at work. If only Hitchcock were still around to film it.” (David Baldacci)

The narrator was great, book was blah at best. I struggled to get into it and it was suspenseful to begin, then just become dull after a while.

weak storyline

Listened to this book because it was a Book Club Pick. Sorry, but I struggled to finish it. Felt it just went on and on and just ended up being a bit too predictable and cliché. Even the main character felt annoying to me. I know it was not a true story but still I found it hard hearing the descriptions of multilation and torture. Not on a level with Agatha Christie.

A bit too predictable

My first audible book, and I must say I enjoyed the format, and for a dark and creepy book, it was perfect. The story itself was good for about the first half, and then it started to fall apart. The book is much too long so it loses momentum considerably until i'm thinking "figure this out already." I did skip a bit. The ending was a disappointment. After all the build-up it was totally no surprise. I didn't care for the protagonist or any of the characters for that matter. I will try another book in this format because I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

Performance was great, story not so much.

The story was well written with details that kept me interested. I wasn't able to predict what was happening which made the story ever changing and kept me on edge to learn what was going to happen.

Couldn't stop listening!

Picked this up on a whim. I love Reese Witherspoons book picks. This was a good read, in fact I polished it off in about 3 days! Good who did it read!

I was very excited about this book and thought it started out really well. I would say I was interested in the first 9 hours of the book but the ending was so weak. The storyline was poorly orchestrated and the reasoning was hard to believe.
Also Elin was a hard character to support. She was a detective but everytime she was faced with a stressful situation - she froze. She couldn't possibly be good at her job and make it to "detective level" if she was that averse to risk. would not recommend.

Thought it would be much better

The premise of the story was interesting; however, the development and decision making of the main character was irrational and contradictory at times - it made it difficult to enjoy listening to the character. Also - there were some were some weaknesses in the plot - some leaps and bounds were made to bridge conclusions. Overall, it was a decent read.

Well read, but main character development was weak

Loved this. At times I was annoyed by the main character but the story caught me from chapter three and I had to listen as much as possible until I finished. Great narration.

Thrilling
