Book Review of The Sanatorium (Detective Elin Warner, Bk 1)

The Sanatorium (Detective Elin Warner, Bk 1)
Helpful Score: 1


In a word-ugh!
Such hopes for this book and they did not come true.
A PTSD detective with a crap load of emotional baggage from childhood and a murder spree in a remote hotel in the Swiss Alps do not make a good story.
I am so tired of reading about the fat snow flakes, the heavy snowflakes, the big heavy white snowflakes, I mean how many times do you have to tell us that it is snowing!
Elin is a basket case and I couldn't stand her any more after about 20 pages in. Should of stopped there but still had hope-silly me!
Not realistic or even close in police procedures, the Elin thought this person, then this person, then this person, etc., it was just too tedious after 100 pages. How it was hailed as a great thriller is beyond me.
