Himmelsdalen, by Marie Hermansson, is defined as a suspense novel. And indeed, this is a page-turner! Swedish Daniel receives a letter from his twin brother Max, who is in a "rehabilitation clinic" in the Alps. Daniel travels to visit his brother at the exclusive clinic, but soon discovers that nothing is as it first seemed.
Claustrophobic atmosphere
As the atmosphere thickens, the valley becomes claustrophobic. Who are the staff, patients and villagers? And how do you get out of there?

Hey, hey, hey, hey,
I've read it too, you just had to read to see how it worked out. It was a bit scary.
I am currently reading the books of the Icelandic author Arnaldur Indridason. Fantastically good books, in the detective genre. Can be recommended!
