    About this ebook

    One of Goodreads Most Popular Horror of 2022

    "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.

      A mind blowing thriller....This book is all about how your past sins & family secrets will haunt you till they are revealed. Because truth can never be buried.. Go for it!!
    • 4/5
      After witnessing the murder of her grandmother, Eleanor teeters on the edge of panic as a result of the trauma. The killer is still at large, and Eleanor could provide a picture-perfect description—if she didn’t suffer from prosopagnosia, a form of “face blindness.” To compensate for this perplexing disability, she must use other features and senses to identify anyone, even those closest to her. The recipient of her grandmother’s estate, Eleanor reluctantly returns to the remote Swedish woods where the crime occurred. She is joined by her boyfriend, aunt, and the probate lawyer to prepare the house for a quick sale. Immediately upon her return, Eleanor detects a lingering unease that saturates the walls of the creepy mansion. She discovers a diary that might help her solve its mysteries, but first, she needs to painstakingly translate it from its original Polish. When some puzzling disappearances occur, Eleanor assumes that her grandmother’s murderer is lurking on the property. Camilla Sten earned popularity with her first novel, The Lost Village, and those who enjoyed her debut will find The Resting Place a suitable second effort. More gothic than gory, Sten’s latest release lags a bit at times, but the convergence of its storylines and rich setting will satisfy most thriller fans.
    • 4/5
      Wow, considering this is a translated book…it still brought to life that dark atmospheric, creepy, crawly, haunted feeling that isn’t always found.

      Eleanor has face blindness and when she was knocking on Vivianne’s door, her grandmother, to visit and upon arrival the door opened. It wasn’t Vivianne in the doorway but someone else who had blood on them and scissors in there hand and flew past her. Her grandmother was brutally murdered by this killer, but why didn’t this killer attack her also?

      She now must go to an estate she’s never heard of in the Swedish Woods with the lawyer, her husband and her aunt.

      Why did Vivianne keep this estate from her and who is the killer and why didn’t they kill her also?

      As with most old houses, they have a story to tell and this estate is hiding plenty of secrets.

      Twisted and Spooky!
    • 4/5
      The Publisher Says: A spine-chilling, propulsive psychological suspense from international sensation Camilla Sten.The medical term is prosopagnosia. The average person calls it face blindness—the inability to recognize a familiar person’s face, even the faces of those closest to you.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, her anxiety mounts. The dark feelings of having brushed by a killer, yet not know who could do this—or 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 dark 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 bringing the truth to light, they’ll wish they had never come to disturb what rests there.A heart-thumping, relentless thriller that will shake you to your core, The Resting Place is an unforgettable novel of horror and suspense.I RECEIVED A DRC FROM THE PUBLISHER VIA NETGALLEY. THANK YOU.My Review: I've known someone with prosopagnosia well, and for a lot longer than I have known the word or the condition existed. It's one of the reasons I was really eager to get this book's DRC and devour it. I was so happy to see this under-represented and misunderstood disability represented at all. I hoped, of course, to see it represented well.It was. The condition of "face-blindness" was truly well established, in a complex and multivalent way; it was also chillingly effectively woven into a deeply unsettling, even unnerving, plot.Prosopagnosia, face blindness. It means my brain doesn’t process human faces the same way others’ do. I can’t recognize faces, so have to memorize distinguishing features instead.What happens, as you've seen in the book description, is a scene of brutal violence that simply can't be forgotten by anyone who's experienced anything remotely close to it. But, in Eleanor's case, it's a scene that lacks a very important resonance. She's seen a murder, and a murderer, and she can't forget it but can't process it, can't help assign guilt to the guilty because she is biomechanically incapable of the necessary function. And then what happens? She inherits the house her grandmother failed to tell her that she owned. Way to lard the stress into the liver of the story...another set of unknown people, faces ever unknown to her and markers to somehow fasten onto their identities.From that point on, I was so very sold on this read. I could not WAIT to see how this awful psychological double bind would resolve.The things I liked were, like the things I liked in The Lost Village, the ones that brought the character to life:...it’s the body that panics first, the brain that follows. If I can just keep my breaths slow and force myself to relax then I can trick my mind into calm.–and–“Your fear is valid, but that doesn’t make it real. The fear may be true, but it doesn’t have to be your truth.”They're present, they're satisfyingly numerous, but in the end the thing that will make or break the read is one's response to the ending. The entire book is a set-up to the set-piece in the last, say, thirtyish pages. It's a big ask from a sophmore novelist. I was rewarded by it because its resolution was so very timely and so personal to me. I can't say more because the Spoiler Stasi will descend on me with malice and fury. This post will clue you in to the direction we're heading if you care to be enlightened.I thought the use of a big, old, dark manor house in the country was going to be a silly distraction, a gewgaw meant to distract me from something...it wasn't, and it was; the big winter storm, another gothic-storytelling staple, was similarly used. These weren't my favorite moments in the book. I will say they didn't "ruin" my experience of the story as can happen with such inessentials. The nature of the story is so basically well-crafted that Author Sten could've chosen any one of an array of settings and accomplished her task.I confess that, as I read along and Eleanor kept doing her Eleanor thing, I was half-dreading the need to slap an "ableism" content warning on the review. I was so relieved that I did not feel Author Sten had crossed my own mental threshhold for use of a disability shading into the old, dark "crippled" territory I've still been hit with in the twenty-first century.I'm going to leave the last words to Eleanor, via Author Sten. I think they say more about what I derived from this read than I can.She says that wounds can leave scars on our souls just like on our bodies, and that we have to learn to live with them rather than try to rid ourselves of them completely.
    • 5/5
      This is my fifth book by Camilla Sten & just like all of her other books The Resting Place was another spine tingling page turner! This author has become one of my auto buys for me! I still have aways to go before I get through all of her books but every book I read just makes me want to read more! Camilla Sten just has a way of capturing her reads from the first page!
      I really enjoyed the diary entries in this book! And let me just say that is one messed up grandma! The twists & turns & the suspense is great! The final twist at the end, really didn't see that coming! Could you imagine having face blindness & witnessing a murder? The murderer could be standing in front of you & you wouldnt even know it! I started this book at 11am on Tuesday & was finished 13 hours later! I couldn't put it down! Great read! Thank you St. Martins Press for sharing another great read with me!

      The protagonist, Eleanor, is afflicted with a disability called prosopagnosia, which is the inability to recognize faces. She has the misfortune of seeing her grandmother, Vivianne, murdered. However, she cannot remember the face of the killer. And she is understandably worried that the killer might return.Then she discovers that Vivianne has bequeathed her the ownership of a large family estate deep in the woods where her grandfather had died. She, her aunt, her boy friend, and a lawyer go to to the estate to view her inheritance. Once there, they find themselves snowed in by a blizzard. Things get creepy and scary.The plot is complicated by Eleanor’s prosopagnosia and a confusion of family identities. Several characters turn out to be people other than whom we originally were led to believe. The writing is crisp and the action is swift. The book is a very satisfactory thriller ably translated from the original Swedish by Alexandra Fleming. (JAB)

      Eleanor’s grandmother has been murdered and Eleanor saw the killer. But she suffers from prosopagnosia. Eleanor is unable to recognize faces. She has been haunted by this fact and it is taking over her life. She can barely function.Then, a lawyer calls and tells her she has inherited an estate. A home with a terrible past. Eleanor and her boyfriend, Sebastian go to the house and are joined by her aunt, Veronika. This turns into a real life nightmare!Oh wow! Give me a creepy house and weird people and I am mesmerized. This story had me reeled in from the very first. Talk about suspenseful, especially toward the end. This is a tale, which is a bit far fetched in places, but I truly did not care. I wanted to find out who was doing all this insane stuff and why.The narrator, Angela Dawe nailed it…and I mean all of it!Need a startling tale which might keep you awake at night…This is it! Grab your copy today!I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review.
    • 3/5
      This was not the edge of my seat thriller I was expecting. I liked the premise, atmospheric setting, and alternating perspectives. But, the time shifts made keeping track of the many characters difficult. And it was very wordy, which made it drag. The twisty end did redeem it…somewhat.
    • 5/5
      Eleanor approaches the door of her grandmother, Vivienne’s apartment for her weekly Sunday dinner. Vivienne has raised Eleanor from a young age when her mother died of cancer. An adult now, she needs to maintain her distance from domineering, erratic Vivienne and the weekly dinner is a compromise. As she approaches the apartment, Eleanor sees that the door is ajar and as she reaches for it, a figure whose face is obscured by a hat brim, runs out. When Eleanor enters, Vivienne is lying in a pool of blood. She whispers something that Eleanor can’t understand before taking her last breath.Eleanor has prosopagnosia (pros·o·pag·no·sia) or face blindness. She is unable to recognize faces, so she can’t identify Vivienne’s killer and therefore is no help to the police who ultimately decide the murder was a robbery gone wrong.Several months later Eleanor is contacted by an attorney, Rickard, who tells her that she has inherited her grandmother’s manor house (which she knew nothing about but had apparently been in the family for 50+ years) and they must visit it to value its contents for estate purposes. So, Eleanor and her boyfriend Sebastian drive up to the remote, isolated property to meet Rickard. Surprising Eleanor, her estranged aunt Veronika arrives as well. The party was supposed to be met by the caretaker, Mats, who is mysteriously nowhere to be found.Things begin to happen soon after arrival. As she and Sebastian walk part of the property, the purportedly fragile Eleanor, who has been undergoing therapy since even before Vivienne’s death, thinks she sees someone lurking near one of the cottages. But it is dark and snowing, and when she looks again, there is no one there. Sebastian believes it’s Eleanor’s mind playing tricks on her.In the house, she hears an odd phone conversation between Rickard and an unknown party. And this is just the beginning. As night draws in and the blizzard intensifies, people are getting hurt; people go missing. Is someone trying to kill them? Has this anything to do with Vivienne or Evert, her husband who committed suicide at the manor house?As Eleanor explores the main house, she stumbles across a diary written in the mid-1960s by Anushka, a house maid. Unfortunately, it is in Polish and Eleanor must use google translate to understand it, which makes it slow going. She keeps the diary a secret from the others and wonders whether it will shed some light on the family and the estate and the strange goings on. The Resting Place is told from two time periods: the present through Eleanor’s eyes and the diary entries from the 1960s.Sten draws a bleak picture in so many ways: the dysfunctional family, primarily Vivenne’s parenting style, one minute nice, the next scathing; the grim surroundings of the estate situated in the middle of nowhere, dark, brooding, snowbound; Eleanor’s seemingly mental fragility; Aunt Veronka’s love/hate relationship with both Eleanor and Vivenne and finally the uncertainty about who Rickard really is. Eleanor constantly imagines what her self-confident grandmother would say after each tragic occurrence.The tension mounts slowly and steadily reaching a crescendo and unexpected conclusion. I admit that I did guess one aspect of the ending but it didn’t spoil the story at all. Sten has created a new version of the locked room mystery and it satisfies on all accounts.So far Camilla Sten has scored a perfect record on her two books and I hope more are on the way.

      Thanks to St. Martin's Press, Minotaur Books and NetGalley for providing me a digital ARC of this book. The opinions are my own and freely given.Eleanor goes to her grandmother Vivianne's apartment for dinner only to meet someone at the front door, leaving. When Eleanor goes inside, she discovers her grandmother on the floor bleeding to death. Eleanor has a disorder called prosopagnosia, or face blindness; therefore, she is unable to describe the killer to the police.Months later, Eleanor goes to her grandmother's country mansion, with her boyfriend Sebastian, aunt Veronika and the estate lawyer Rickard. No one is able to get in touch with the groundskeeper Mats, who has been employed by Vivianne for years. Eleanor thinks she sees someone on the grounds and things start happening, but she feels like no one will believe her. Eleanor and Sebastian find a diary hidden in the floorboards of a room, written by a maid who worked for Vivianne in the 60's.This is a "locked room mystery", with a creepy feel. They are trapped on the estate due to the weather with no cell service and eventually no electric. Eleanor and after some convincing Sebastian thinks there is something wrong with the house and try desperately to leave. This was a suspenseful read leading up to what happened to Vivianne.
    • 4/5
      If you’re looking for a spooky, atmospheric mystery to get lost in, this is the perfect book.Set at a remote mansion in Sweden, a small group of people become trapped at the mansion due to a snowstorm. The trouble is, there are some dangerous things going on and no one feels safe.After the death of matriarch Vivianne, an attorney named Rickard gets in touch with the family in order to go and inventory what is at the mansion. The granddaughter Eleanor, her boyfriend and her aunt Veronika all gather to help with the inventory. Eleanor had never been there or even knew of its existence until after Vivianne died. Vivianne kept many secrets and they are soon to be revealed during their stay at the mansion.I was loving this mysterious tale and the haunting atmosphere until the very end. I felt that the author left some loose ends at the conclusion of the story, but overall this was a great read for a cold, dreary day by the fire.Many thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press/Minotaur Books for allowing me to read an advance copy. I am happy to offer my honest review.
    • 4/5
      I really, really wanted to like this more. I even went back and reread some passages to see if I had just been loopy when I read it the first time...but...no. I have to admit that I may have expected it to have equaled the first book...The Lost Village. Like most thrillers of this kind, the narrative is split between the past and the present, with the past being a melodrama and the present being underwhelming. The weather keeps the characters stuck inside with a killer that might be lurking on the premises. This is as “mysterious” as it gets. This author has already blatantly demonstrated that she can produce a spine-tingling story with her first book The Lost Village. The writing is good. The plot is good. Camille Sten can indeed write, but the pacing leaves a lot to be desired. There is a prerequisite ending plot twist... (kudos to the author for that) ...and it is by no means a predictable one. I would have read whatever Sten wrote just based on the strength of that debut novel, but this book just didn't have the same effect. It isn’t terrible. It isn't unreadable by any means. It’s just so slow, so average....so unexpected from Camille Sten. It just didn't give the same feeling as the first book did. I gave it 3.5 stars because I like this author so much...and will certainly look forward to more by her. I feel that I should say that if you haven’t read her first book you will more than likely love this one having nothing to compare it to...but read her first book and I believe you’ll see and feel the difference.

      Review of Uncorrected Digital GalleyEleanor came face to face with her grandmother’s murderer, but she cannot identify the killer. She has prosopagnosia, a condition that renders her unable to recognize a face, even the face of a friend or a family member. The distress she feels hounds her whether she's asleep or awake, leaving her feeling rather paranoid and uneasy.Some months after her grandmother's death, a call from a lawyer handling Vivianne’s affairs sends Eleanor and her boyfriend, Sebastian, off to Solhöga, an estate tucked away in the Swedish woods . . . the place where Eleanor's grandfather died. The plan is for them to meet there and inventory the contents of the house.Although she’d expected her aunt to stay away, Veronika is already there when Eleanor and Sebastian arrive; the four of them will do the inventory. But Eleanor cannot shake the feeling that someone is watching them, stalking them. Could it be the missing groundskeeper, Mats Bengtsson?And when strange things happen and the weather strands them at Solhöga, will they fall victim to the tragedies of the past?=========Past and present come together as the stories of two women, Annika and Eleanor, converge in a haunting Swedish estate. Annika’s story provides the necessary backstory for Eleanor’s story. Annika, whose given name is Anushka, was a housekeeper who lived at Solhöga some fifty years earlier while Eleanor is the granddaughter of the woman who owned the estate.Well-defined [and, for the most part, thoroughly unlikeable] characters, a strong sense of place, and a captivating plot pull readers into the telling of the tale from the outset. The unfolding narrative, with its surprising revelations, keeps the suspense building and the undercurrent of apprehension adds an eeriness to the narrative.The plot takes some interesting twists as the story evolves; Eleanor’s face blindness creates an unusual situation and lays the groundwork for a surprising twist late in the telling of the tale. The atmosphere, dark and menacing, keeps the pages turning.Highly recommended.I received a free copy of this eBook from St. Martin’s Press, Minotaur Books and NetGalley#TheRestingPlace #NetGalley
