Product Information

As Will recovers, Elin confronts Isaac because she believes that he killed their brother Sam, but he reveals to her that she had watched Sam fall and simply blocked it out. The winds are howling, the snow is pelting in every direction, there’s a missing person, and a dead body shows up!

Suddenly, Elin’s got the deductive powers of Sherlock Holmes, and enough super-hero energy to fight through a snow-storm after an avalanche. Shocked by Laure’s murder, Elin begins to examine the body for clues, but she is also attacked by a masked assailant, just like the one who killed Daniel Lemaitre and Adele. In the prologue, Daniel Lemaitre, the hotel architect, is accosted by a masked assailant while leaving the unfinished hotel site. The American’s overbearing influence across the modern thriller genre emerges again in Pearse’s novel. There are echoes of Hitchcock and du Maurier, but Pearse has her own distinctive, emotional voice—one to be admired.She texts Isaac, asking him to come rescue her from the archive room, and when he does, she tells him that Lucas is the killer. A modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides that feature detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, quotes, and essay topics. An imposing, isolated getaway spot high up in the Swiss Alps is the last place Elin Warner wants to be. But her estranged brother has invited her there for his engagement party, and she feels she has no choice but to accept.

Sarah Pearse wastes no time in ramping up the tension and is clearly destined to be a master of this genre. Half-hidden by forest and overshadowed by threatening peaks, Le Sommet has always been a sinister place. Two years later, Isaac’s fiancée Laure is working at the hotel as an assistant manager, and the pair decide to invite family and friends to Le Sommet to celebrate their engagement. Her experiences living in the Swiss Alps in her early twenties inspired her acclaimed debut novel, The Sanatorium, which was an instant No. Arriving in the midst of a threatening storm, Elin immediately feels on edge--there's something about the hotel that makes her nervous.Elin is under pressure to find Laure, but no one has realized yet that another woman has gone missing.
