An old sanatorium high in the Swiss Alps that has been converted into a fancy but sinister hotel – it doesn’t get much better than this. And when a massive blizzard cuts off the hotel from civilisation, and people start dying, the stage is set for a tense closed door mystery. Pearse brings her setting to life with vivid descriptions of the old TB sanatorium and its eerie presence despite having been remodelled into a fancy resort. With a shady history, the building itself seems to exude an air of menace and danger that made for a wonderful backdrop.

An interesting read, not the kind of book I would usually go for, but it was well written and kept me interested throughout. The short chapters means it was easy to get through.

I enjoyed this book! It reminded me of The Chalet and One by One, however, I would say that I think that the plot line with Sam could have been explored more, or discarded completely and I do think Margot should have been a more prominent character from the beginning. That being said, I thought the book was really atmospheric and it kept me guessing all the way through!
