From Little Stack
Cornwall, 1935, Agnes arrives at Hedone House, the sanatorium that will be her new home after her recent marriage to Dr Christian. But this isn’t your average sanatorium. Picturesque and luxurious, there is no expense spared and the champagne flows as freely as the medication. They cater to the creative elite and provide groundbreaking tuberculosis treatment. But this utopia is brimming with secrets and Agnes begins to hear whispers about past patients, a possible cure, and discovers shocking secrets that put her in danger.
Atmospheric, beguiling and hauntingly beautiful, this was one of my favourite books of 2024.
A gripping and gothic new historical mystery. Can she unlock the secrets of The House of Fever?

Her husband's methods are unusual. There are whisperings about past patients and even a cure. Hedoné's secrets draw Agnes in, revealing truths she could never anticipate, and soon she is caught between a past she is desperate to escape and a future she may forever regret.
