"Engrossing, character-rich, powerful. Sten is on a roll."―Publishers Weekly(starred review)
Crimson Peak meets The Sanatorium in The Resting Place, a heart-thumping, unforgettable novel of horror and suspense by international sensation Camilla Sten.
Deep rooted secrets.
A twisted family history.
And a house that will never let go.
Eleanor lives with prosopagnosia, the inability to recognize a familiar person's face. It causes stress. Acute anxiety.
It can make you question what you think you know.
When Eleanor walked in on the scene of her capriciously cruel grandmother, Vivianne’s, murder, she came face to face with the killer―a maddening expression that means nothing to someone like her. With each passing day, the horror of having come so close to a murderer―and not knowing if they’d be back―overtakes both her dreams and her waking moments, thwarting her perception of reality.
Then a lawyer calls. Vivianne has left her a house―a looming estate tucked away in the Swedish woods. The place her grandfather died, suddenly. A place that has housed a chilling past for over fifty years.
Eleanor. Her steadfast boyfriend, Sebastian. Her reckless aunt, Veronika. The lawyer. All will go to this house of secrets, looking for answers. But as they get closer to uncovering the truth, they’ll wish they had never come to disturb what rests there.

This was the second book I read that was translated into English, and strangely enough, it also was from Swedish to English. Note to take from my review is that I have never had the experience of a "Page Turner" as one would call it. Yes, I find books fast-paced and entertaining but not to the point where I want to sit and constantly turn one chapter after the other. The Resting Place did that for me and it was a great experience. The start of the book was just enough to get me going and the chapter sizes were my perfect length. Even when you are tired and you see that the next chapter is only 4 minutes long, you just jump back in and read more. I can completely recommend the book to any Thriller readers, it will most definitely satisfy your itch and give you that bit of chase and thrill that not a lot of books achieve. Yes, you can ask why not a 5-star review then, I felt that the end was a bit fast and left you too unsatisfied, feeling more should have happened if you stay true to the characters.
