Wow - I didn’t know what I was getting into when I started this book but the story is captivating. I applaud the author’s willingness to be vulnerable and write about a clinic and addicts after going to one herself. I find the world of celebrity to be fascinating and to add that to something as difficult as rehab really created a unique story. I loved Meg and felt for her… that am I having a troubling memory or is this just the drugs back and forth and not knowing what is real. Add in Vegas drug dealers and a famous sister… this book had me guessing.

Told from several points of view. The Clinic by Cate Quinn is a fast-paced thriller.that has you second-guessing everything that you think you know. Hailey is a famous actress that goes to the clinic for rehab from drugs, but one night she ends up dead and no staff was around just the other rehab patients. So it has to be one of them?. Her sister Meg works for a casino undercover, but quickly decides.she is going to go undercover to The Clinic to find out who really killed Hailey..
This one had me from the very beginning. I loved how much I detested most of the characters. That means the author did her job correctly. Each new twist had me with my mouth hanging open in shock. Like wow, really,? Even the ending had the shock of all shocks and it was incredible.

This book was an interesting, different psychological thriller. The protagonist, Meg, a former FBI analyst, now works for a casino catching cheaters. She is addicted to pain pills that were initially prescribed for a legitimate injury. Now they are being popped like a favorite candy.. Meg finds out her sister Haley has committed suicide at a remote rehab facility she decides to go undercover there to find out the truth. This is where the real story begins. The characters at this facility are all addicts and none can be trusted. There are many twists that kept me guessing the what really occurred to Haley. I did enjoy reading this book.

I had high hopes for this as the setting felt creepy and started off on good note, but it lacked for me. Maybe it could be that I don’t particularly enjoy hospital/ rehab stories, but this did not have enough suspense for me. I was super hopeful because I think PCNW is such a cool area and because one of the main characters name was also Meg, but just struggled reading through this. Towards the middle it felt like I kept reading and just never got to the point and the only suspense was towards the end. Thank you Netgalley and Sourcebooks for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. I

I am becoming a huge fan of Ms. Quinn, In this book we see addiction and what it can do to a person.
When Meg finds out her sister has died in rehab, she takes a sabbatical from her job at the casino where she truly could use a break. Meg is convinced that Haley was actually murdered.

This is a fast paced novel that will leave you with the WOW factor. I am already looking forward to Quinn's next novel!

The open honesty from Cate Quinn about something so personal made me realise this book was going to be even better than I expected. And having read other books by the same author, my expectations were already high.
The story is gripping, I didn’t want to put it down. There are several interesting, and often troubled, characters to get to know and working out who is good and who isn’t is a puzzle that kept me occupied whilst reading, and my mind was changed often. After the death of a singer the finger of suspicion is pointed at each person at the clinic. But with both staff and clients keeping secrets there are many twists and turns along the way to finding out. I learned a lot about people and how different mental health conditions affect them whilst reading too. I consider myself to be good at showing empathy but hopefully I’ll be even better after reading this. Highly recommend book.

We are dollowing two pov's. The first is Meg, who catches "bad guys" at casinos. When Meg finds out her pop star sister, Haley Banks, passed away in a rehab center she immediately volunteers herself to find out what really happened to her sister. Cara is the second pov. She is a manager at the rehab & is very strict on following rules. She believes some shady things are going on in the rehab & starts searching for the truth
I was looking forward to the rehab in a middle of nowhere setting. The story did start out strong & kept me interested. It was the last 100 pages or so that just became so over the top & ridiculous.
It was a disappointing read

Gothic thriller fails to deliver.

Meg’s sister dies at an expensive and exclusive rehab center. She knows her sister did not commit suicide and so she decides to admit herself to find out what really happened.

I was looking for an atmospheric read after looking at the blurb for this book. The isolated place in the PNW surrounded by fog — and the hook for me was the medical aspect. A rehabilitation center for the rich and famous. Unfortunately, having some actual knowledge about addiction and treatment/therapy meant that I was going to nit pick everything. Yeah, no.

The characters were all such a turn off and the plot just limped along with one completely unrealistic thing happening after another. The twists? Took all my ability to suspend disbelief. I can see by other reviews that many really enjoyed this but it definitely was not appealing to me. It was very slow paced with even the short chapters not making it move along.

Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks for the e-book ARC to read and review.

It had a lot of potential and I was expecting more of a Nellie Bly situation but it fell pretty flat for me and by halfway through, I didn't really care what happened one way or another. It was a quick read though.

Eh not my cup of tea, underwhelming for me personally. I think my mom may like it so I’ll still recommend to those who may enjoy

Wonderful story, great character development, great writing! Highly recommend this book. I thoroughly enjoyed it

Thank you to publisher and NetGalley for my advanced reader copy.
Opinions are my own and grateful for this opportunity - merci!

There are dark things happening at this luxury remote rehab facility called the Clinic.
High profile clients/patients and mysterious treatments.

The drama is hectic with many unreliable characters submerged in the effects of rehab, detoxing, questionable treatments and of course a mysterious death.

The depth of childhood connection to trauma was intense as was a strong sisterly bond.

Enjoyed the short chapters - although there were many (115) left me annoyed wanting to get the the finish yet glued to the page. Well played!

Many twists and turns here which were fun to read. One element left me surprised and hanging … wanting more, but I wont say what cause you should the the book for yourself! It’s an entertaining one!!

A huge thanks for the added reading group guide. I read alone but appreciated the addition to process what I had just read. Much appreciation to the conversation with author section - thank you for your authenticity in sharing your own rehab experience. You are very much still a writer. A good one at that - MERCI!

3.5/5 stars - Thank you NetGalley, Cate Quinn, and publishers for early access to this enthralling, unique, and un-putdownable psychological thriller that had me guessing until the very end! The short chapters, dual perspectives, and twists kept me on the edge of my seat and flying through this book. Overall, this journey of addiction, mental health, and psychological trauma was unlike anything I’ve ever read before. Stars deducted for the last 15%, which seemed quite unbelievable and a little too convenient. If I was able to suspend more belief, this would have been a really highly rated thriller for me. I will definitely come back for more Cate Quinn!

Let's start with the good. The end had some great twists and really got exciting. The cast of rehab characters was super fun and I loved reading about them.

The book felt like it didn't know what to be about. It was a tad chaotic. Some of the themes felt too ridiculous to make sense. I also thought it was about 50-100 pages longer than it needed to be because it dragged a bit in the middle. Some of the "twists" and plot points just didn't make a ton of sense to me.

I did enjoy wondering whether the FMC was actually crazy and hallucinating and making things up. An unreliable narrator who doesn't know she's unreliable is a favorite trope of mine in suspense books.

I liked the writing style and will read more by this aurhor. I think this one just wasn't my favorite.

This book was fantastic! Lots of twists and turns. One incredibly, unreliable narrator and one almost squeaky clean, morally correct narrator which made for a really incredible story. It's also incredible that this story came from the author's own stint in rehab. This is the second book I have read by this author and since they've both been five-star reads, that catapults this author to my auto-buy list.

Thanks NetGalley and SourceBooks Landmark for this arc!

3.5/5 stars

This was really well written, but oof what a tough read at parts, if addiction is triggering for anyone definitely be aware, it dealt with it more than I realized going into it. This was still good though, many twists and turns to be had!

What is going on at this clinic and how can you trust anyone? This was a unique thriller/mystery and had many twists that I didn’t expect. Sometimes it felt like too many twists. It definitely kept me reading and the author’s note was an interesting revelation. I need to read her backlist.

Mystery in an old asylum that’s now a celebrity rehab? Count me in! I thought the protagonist’s career was very original, and she certainly had enough flaws to count as an unreliable narrator. Lots of other flawed and unreliable people in the supporting cast. I’m not sure I found the ending all that believable, but I was willing to go with it after that ride.

Thank you to Netgalley, the publishing house and the author for the opportunity to read a complimentary copy of this book in return for a review based upon my honest opinion.

Meg is an undercover high-roller, trapping those conning casinos. Meg’s job also leads her to be in a position to feed her abuse of drugs and alcohol. Meg learns that her sister, famous singer, Haley Banks has been admitted to a high end rehabilitation centre for the rich and famous, set in a remote area. She quickly learns that Haley is dead from an apparent overdose, Meg does not believe that and thinks Haley must have been murdered. She devises a plan to get herself checked in to rehab and try to find out what happened to Haley, her sometimes more than a friend, Harry tells her that she could use this time to get herself clean as well.

This facility is like nothing she has seen before, with a small group of clients, all famous or well known in some way, and all with their issues. As Meg tries to cope in this bizarre rehab with very strange rules, she has to try to figure out which of these people killed her sister, and it’s even more strange when she starts getting messages that appear to be from Haley. Meg is starting to have odd reactions to the unconventional methods of treatment. Can Meg solve Haley’s murder, or will she put her own life in jeopardy. Good read with some great plot twists but I felt that the story could have wrapped up a little quicker.

Short chapters? Yes.
Isolated, foggy setting? Check!
Rehab treatment clinic full of sketchy characters? Yep.
Questionable staff? Yes.

I mean, what is missing here? Nothing. This book is full of twists and turns as professional card player Meg enters an isolated, luxury rehab clinic undercover to solve her sister's murder. Meg herself struggles with drug and alcohol addiction but refuses to comply with treatment for several days. We shift between Meg's point of view and Cara's, who is the general manager of the clinic. Seeing the story from an employee's POV helps give more perspective into what the doctor's treatment plans are like, as well as the layout and scheduling within the clinic.

This book caught my attention and had me hooked until the end. Yes, its a bit popcorn-ey but I didn't mind. I also found it interesting that the book was inspired by the author's own time in rehab. So take that with a grain of salt!
