"A chilling debut in which a detective must uncover the dark history of a luxury hotel in the Alps if she has any hope of stopping the deaths that won't let up. . . Half-hidden by forest and overshadowed by threatening peaks, Le Sommet has always been a sinister place. Once a sanatorium treating tuberculosis patients, it was abandoned years ago and had fallen into disrepair. Long plagued by troubling rumours, it has recently been renovated into a lavish hotel. And an imposing, isolated hotel, high up in the Swiss Alps, is the last place detective Elin Warner wants to be. But having received an invitation out of the blue to celebrate her estranged brother's recent engagement, she had no choice but to accept. Arriving in the midst of a threatening storm, Elin is immediately on edge. Though it's a stunning retreat, something about the hotel makes her nervous - as does her brother, Isaac. When Elin wakes the following the morning to discover Isaac's fiancée Laure has vanished without a trace, Elin's alarm grows. With the storm cutting off access to and from the hotel, the more the remaining guests start to panic. Yet no one has realized 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 . . "--… (altro)

If I’d been watching The Sanatorium on TV it would have been behind splayed fingers with a large cushion at the ready.
The location of the hotel high up in the Swiss Alps solely accessible via a narrow, vertiginous mountain road, the incessant snowfall giving a nod to total isolation, the glass display cases containing macabre medical memorabilia from the sanatorium era and our first introduction to an anxious, asthmatic and panicky Detective Elin Warner all add to the tense and threatening, claustrophobic and creepy atmosphere.
The super short chapters make the book a compulsive page turner.
The harrowing back stories are slowly revealed to keep the reader guessing and questioning.
All the ingredients for a gripping crime thriller full of blood and gore that twists and turns, suggesting suspect after suspect until the grand denouement. Or is this just the beginning? ( )

I adored this book. Perfect fast page turner. Easy rec! ( )

I got as far as the beginning of chapter 24 (the chapters are short), and decided there are other books I'd like to read more than this one. Not for me right now. ( )

This book will have you guessing clear to the end. I’ll admit, I was a bit worried with how the book started out a tad slow for me but I stuck with it and I’m glad I did. The second half I finished in a day.

Just when I thought I knew who did it, nope. I guessed maybe four or five people and by the end I was surprised honestly and didn’t see it coming. Actually I didn’t see most of the twists coming. ( )

I am only on page 75 and I already don't like this book. For whatever reason, I simply cannot get into it. I am hoping something happens, anything. A few people poked with a needle is not exactly what I call "horror." ( )
