You won't want to leave. . . until you can't.

Half-hidden by forest and overshadowed by threatening peaks, Le Sommet has always been a sinister place. Long plagued by troubling rumors, the former abandoned sanatorium has since been renovated into a five-star minimalist hotel.

An imposing, isolated getaway spot high up in the Swiss Alps is the last place Elin Warner wants to be. But Elin's taken time off from her job as a detective, so when her estranged brother, Isaac, and his fiancée, Laure, invite her to celebrate their engagement at the hotel, Elin really has no reason not to accept.

Arriving in the midst of a threatening storm, Elin immediately feels on edge--there's something about the hotel that makes her nervous. And when they wake the following morning to discover Laure is missing, Elin must trust her instincts if they hope to find her. With the storm closing off all access to the hotel, the longer Laure stays missing, the more the remaining guests start to panic.

Elin is under pressure to find Laure, but no one has realized yet that another woman has gone missing. And she's the only one who could have warned them just how much danger they are all in. . .

The end seems rushed

The story kept me on the edge the whole time, however I felt like some things weren't properly explained, such as why did Laure leave and what was she doing. Without giving it away, I will say that the reason for the murders seemed pretty extreme, not really justified, especially how they were murdered. But an interesting read non the less. The narration was great

Not worth the time

narrator was awesome, but by the time it reached its climax, I was so confused and bored that I just didn't care anymore and struggled to finish. too many story lines and less plot. I would not recommend.

Narrator is lovely

The narrator is lovely and really brought the story to life. I am I lover of thrillers and this one was decent. not the best, not the worst but a good one overall. The ending is kind of ehh.

absolutely loved this book! incredible story

incredible story kept me guessing till the very end! the narrator did an incredible job

Riveting

This audiobook was entertaining, terrifying and mysterious ,all rolled up into a riveting story where the past invades the present. I couldn’t stop listening!
