Sarah Pearse: Queen Of Luxury Resort Locked Room Mystery

They couldn’t wait to stay here. A wellness retreat has opened on an island off the English coast, promising rest and relaxation—but the island itself, known locally as Reaper’s Rock, has a dark past. Once the playground of a serial killer, it’s rumored to be cursed. But now they can’t leave. A young woman is found dead below the yoga pavilion in what seems to be a tragic fall. But Detective Elin Warner soon learns the victim wasn’t a guest—she wasn’t meant to be on the island at all. And they would do anything to escape. Today, we are chatting with Sarah Pearse about her second book The Retreat in the Detective Elin series.  She wrote The Santorium which was a Reese book club pick.   Can you imagine a universe where Agatha Christie and Stephen King collaborate on a book? That is exactly Sarah’s writing style.  Take listen to our fabulous podcast chat, y’all!
