“The Sanatorium” by Sarah Pearse (audio book)

This book (audio) was riveting, but I did not like it. I did not like the “damaged” female protagonist", the overly convoluted plot with its inevitable holes, and the epilogue with the protagonist/detective being stalked by a vicious killer. Nor did I like the woman reading the book… I found her fragile voice to be irritating. One good thing… The setting of a sanatorium converted to a hotel in the Swiss mountains was a nice Gothic touch.

This is the second book I’ve tried from Reese’s book club, and it will be the last. She seems to have a fondness for plot twists, and values them more than good writing.
