And things get challenging for her as there's a huge snowstorm and an avalanche.

And Elin find she has to step up to the plate to investigate. Things take a really dark turn when almost as soon as she arrives at the hotel, her brother's fiancé Laur goes missing. The book follows Elin Warner, who's a British detective, as she travels to the hotel for her brother's engagement. So The Sanatorium is a thriller, and it set in a luxury hotel called Le Sommet, and it's a hotel that's been converted from an old abandoned sanatorium really high in the Swiss Alps. Why don't we start out with you giving me a quick two-minute summary of the book? Well, I'm thrilled to pieces to talk about The Sanatorium with you. She lived in Switzerland for several years before returning to the U.K. and studied English literature and creative writing at the University of Warwick before completing a postgraduate diploma in broadcast journalism. Today I am interviewing Sarah Pearse about The Sanatorium. In an effort to get back on track, I am releasing the two episodes that should have aired last week this weekend.

People across the country have been asking me how they can help so I'm including links to two reputable groups who could use the support currently, Kids' Meals who feed thousands of low income children daily and lost all of their food due to the lack of power, and the Houston Food Bank who is facing unprecedented requests. While my family weathered the storm with very little damage, many Houstonians did not. As a result, a significant number of people here without power for many days, and a week later, Houston is still under a boil water mandate (for those who have water some people still do not). And unfortunately for us, our power grid was not up to the task. Texas, and Houston where I live, were heavily impacted by weather more extreme than we usually encounter. As I'm sure many of you realize I did not publish podcast episodes according to my regular schedule this past week. My name is Cindy Burnett, and I love to talk about books. This is the Thoughts from a Page Podcast where I interview authors about their latest works.
