I enjoyed the setting of the book. The sanatorium turned into a luxury resort was very "Nancy Drew: Treasure in the Royal Tower" so that was nostalgic for me. The imagery however was very depressing. And not in a literary, artful way. I found myself very frustrated with the book and how depressing and frankly annoying the main character was. I have read books where the main character is struggling but this one didn't seem to fit into the narrative well. It was almost like the author was trying too hard to make her have issues and not actually develop those issues into the story. The mystery intrigued me and I wanted to know who the killer was, but the main character distracted me far too much from that. All and all, it was an okay book but more annoying than enjoyable.

Could not put it down!
Really liked this one. Lots of twists and turns and the ending was not obvious to me. I liked the imperfect nature of Elin. She’s not a super-sleuth like many detectives.

I really enjoyed this book! The open-ended epilogue was also much appreciated as there is room for a sequel. :D

I could not connect with the main character at all I get that she has a traumatic past but I felt like the first part of the book focused on it so much I couldn’t push through it to even get to the mystery

This book was amazing! I absolutely LOVED the setting. The setting by itself was a huge intrigue to me. You add in the murder, lies, secrecy, and character interactions and you have an fantastic story. I couldn't put this book down!
