Sarah Pearse

Author

Sarah Pearse is a British thriller writer whose atmospheric debut made her an instant international bestseller. She studied English at the University of Exeter and worked in brand communications before turning to writing full-time. She lives in Bath with her husband. Pearse's debut novel The Sanatorium is set in a sinister luxury hotel... converted from a former sanatorium in the Swiss Alps, where a woman goes missing during a storm. The book was a Sunday Times bestseller, a Reese's Book Club pick, and was translated into over thirty languages. Her follow-up, The Retreat, takes readers to a remote island off the Devon coast where an eco-retreat conceals dark secrets. Both novels demonstrate her gift for creating claustrophobic, atmospheric settings where isolation amplifies danger. Pearse's thrillers are distinguished by their evocative locations and their ability to turn beautiful, remote places into sites of genuine menace. Her audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers gripping, atmospheric suspense where the setting is as much a character as the people who find themselves trapped within it. Read more Show less
