Review; The Sanatorium by Sarah Pearse
Description from Goodreads
EVERYONE'S IN DANGER. ANYONE COULD BE NEXT.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 . . .
My Thoughts on the Book
With the short chapters and fast pace, The Sanatorium was an engaging read, especially with the claustrophobic and atmospheric setting of the Swiss Alps. That said, I didn't care that much for the male characters in this book, especially considering how they treated Elin. I liked the concept of the book though, with an old sanatorium turned hotel and people go missing/get killed.
