I read The Sanatorium (the author’s debut) last summer all in one day because I couldn’t put it down. If I’d had my way this book would have been the same. Masterful twists and turns, and a really gripping story! Love that it’s set in Devon, as someone who lived in Cornwall for five years. Just really excellent. Can’t wait for the next one, I’m a Sarah Pearse fan!
