![]() The ending was however a bit too predictable and it was kind of lame but I actually enjoyed reading this book. The descriptions of the snow, the scenery of the Swiss Alps made the readers feel like they are in Switzerland. There were not much twists and turns but nevetheless I was hooked into the story, particularly the part when Elin wondered if the murders that are taking place inside the hotel has some sort of connection with the the dark history of the Sanatorium. The story started out a bit slow but then soon when Elin started to investigate, things got a bit interesting and kind of became fast paced. ![]() ![]() Then some guests in the hotel start going missing… The hotel seemed to be having a dark secret–the fact that it used to be a Sanatorium with a dark history. The engagement is held in a luxurious hotel set in the Swiss Alps where Isaac’s fiancee, Laure worked. The story starts with Elin Werner, a former detective from UK who with her boyfriend Will comes to Switzerland to attend her estranged brother’s Isaac’s engagement. This was actually an engaging psychological thriller. The debut novel by Sarah Pearse is a solid, vacation thriller set against the gorgeous, towering Swiss mountains Elin Warner has faced some serious traumas in her lifetime which ultimately resulted in her leave of absence from work and the strain in her relationships with friends and family. ![]()
