Sarah Pearse stops by to talk about her latest murder mystery, THE RETREAT, about Detective Elin Warner, and coming up with another secluded location to set this story.

She also talks about Elin and the history of sanatoriums in the setup in the first novel, THE SANATORIUM, as well as a lively discussion about repurposed institutions… how is that ever a good idea?

THE RETREAT will be available in print, ebook and audiobook July 19, 2022 from Penguin Random House.
