This was the first I had read by Sarah, for her first book I thought it was brilliant and will be looking forward to her next book.
Sarah Pearse lives by the sea in South Devon with her husband and two daughters. She studied English and Creative Writing at the University of Warwick and worked in Brand PR for a variety of household brands. After moving to Switzerland in her twenties, she spent every spare moment exploring the mountains in the Swiss Alpine town of Crans Montana, the dramatic setting that inspired her novel.
Sarah has always been drawn to the dark and creepy – remote spaces and abandoned places – so when she read an article in a local Swiss magazine about the history of sanatoriums in the area, she knew she’d found the spark of the idea for her debut novel, The Sanatorium. Her short fiction has been published in a wide variety of magazines and has been shortlisted for several prizes.
This led you up the wrong path at times with the ending being a surprise to me. The story is very creepy in places and makes you think that something really bad is happening by something! It would make a brilliant film so I hope it is picked up. The descriptions are good with it making you realise how bad the snow gets out there as they are cut off from everything. With a police officer not on active duty can she solve these murders but at what cost? Who can she trust? I really loved this and recommend it by a big five stars.
This is available on Amazon here.
