This main character as a detective is incredibly naive, unprofessional and lacks any comprehension of basic training and self defense. I also think this author lacks any understanding of what the job of a detective looks like - just watch Broadchurch if you can’t be bothered to research.
Why didn’t she just ask him, you ask, like maybe once in the past 15 years - yeah I don’t know why either. The main character is an insecure, weak pushover who is apparently hung up on her brother’s death from 15 years ago and thinks her other brother did it. I’m not sure why there are so many positive reviews here or why this is a Reese’s pick but I found this book ridiculous and stupid. And she's the only one who could have warned them just how much danger they are all in. With the storm closing off all access to the hotel, the longer Laure stays missing, the more the remaining guests start to panic.Įlin is under pressure to find Laure, but no one has realized yet that another woman has gone missing. And when they wake the following morning to discover Laure is missing, Elin must trust her instincts if they hope to find her. 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.Īrriving in the midst of a threatening storm, Elin immediately feels on edge - there's something about the hotel that makes her nervous. Long plagued by troubling rumors, the former abandoned sanatorium has since been renovated into a five-star minimalist hotel.Īn imposing, isolated getaway spot high up in the Swiss Alps is the last place Elin Warner wants to be. Half-hidden by forest and overshadowed by threatening peaks, Le Sommet has always been a sinister place. Sarah Pearse's next book, The Retreat, is forthcoming. “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)
“An eerie, atmospheric novel that had me completely on the edge of my seat.” (Reese Witherspoon) Reese's Book Club Pick | A New York Times best seller!
