The Sanatorium

A detective on long-term sick leave is stranded in a fancy hotel in the Alps when weather takes a turn for the worse; she's visiting her estranged brother and his new finacée, along with her boyfriend. Elin isn't sure if she wants to return to the force or whether she can even be a detective anymore but when a body of a missing woman is found and the hotel is cut off, she's the best option anyone's got of staying safe and solving the crime.

The Sanatorium is a good little detective thriller with a flawed and fallible main character trying her best to right herself after a traumatic experience on the job. While I managed to guess one twist relating to Elin's past, the twists in the present-day remained elusive until the end of the book.

A good debut, well written and engaging.
