With a juicy name like Sanatorium and a spooky cover of a haunted-looking sanatorium and a plot that takes place in an old sanatorium, I wanted the main deal to be about a creepy old sanatorium! I felt tricked that it was a normal murder mystery loosely attached to the sanatorium but only loosely and not until the last 20% of the story. It was fine but I guess I wanted...less conventional murder and more tuberculosis??
