Description

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)

Let’s get on with it already!!

I wanted to like this.
First 1/4 of the book I was definitely intrigued.
But as it went on I became increasingly frustrated by the incredibly long, incredibly detailed, incredibly boring narrative about useless details.
It was like watching a closed caption movie. I don’t need to know every detail about the coffee machine in the hotel room and what the sound of the coffee drip is like. *sigh*
If you do, then this book is your jam.
I also became very frustrated with the lead character and how predictable, useless and sometimes ridiculously annoying she was.
And many times the actions she took just did not align at all with what a real police officer would do. Or it would be so obvious... I found myself yelling out “no really?!?”, slapping my forehead and sighing in disappointment many times.
A lot of reviews talk to how easy it was to figure out who did it early on. They must be genius or reading into something I missed, because I didn’t know until the end.
Have to say that the ending was interesting, lots of twists but I wanted something way darker and spookier, which they easily could have done with the subject matter they had regarding the history of the Sanatorium.
Synopsis: This was a 12 hour read that easily could have been 6-7 if they cut out all the useless boring description.
This book was like lukewarm coffee, you drink it because you feel you have to, but your don’t really like it and then you kinda regret it.

Terrible!

So poorly written and formulaic ! Don't waste your time. I figured out who did it early on. So bad.

weak storyline

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.

A bit too predictable

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.

Light read.

Great setting however historical information was weak.
For a mystery there were too many holes and the character development was lacking.
There was no real surprises at the end... I had guessed the whodunit half way through.
Considering it was a Reese pick I was disappointed.

Well read, but main character development was weak

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.

Good read

The author describes vividly the setting, weather and personalities in this murder mystery.
One can imagine how the book transforms to the big screen.

Took long to build

Performer was good, but hated how she pronounced Margot’s name as “Mar-got” when it’s “Mar-go.” Story was really not captivating, and really struggled to get through it. Usually Reese’s book club is good to me, this one wasn’t the one for me.

Entertaining, but not the smartest plot

The main protagonist makes some very poor choices for a detective/police officer. It makes the plot less interesting. Also, I feel that the back story was unnecessary and also made the story less believable. Narration was good and the setting for the story was great!
