The Clinic

3 ⭐️

The clinic is a twisty, psychological thriller about Meg who enter a rehab clinic in the Pacific Northwest. Her famous sister recently died there under suspicious circumstances and she enters undercover to find out the truth about really happened to her. The problem is she has been popping a few too many pills herself so this is proving to be harder than she expected. I actually really liked this one. It is a little far fetched and off the rails at times, but it is highly entertaining and the twist at the end is fun! I am giving this one a solid 3 ⭐️!

I want to thank #Netgalley and SOURCEBOOKS Landmark for the ARC. All opinions expressed in this review are my own.

A wild and crazy thriller about a rehab clinic full of celebrities trying to get sober...or are they? If there is any truth to this story, it is an absolute whirlwind!

I binged the audiobook is such a short time because I couldn’t put it down. I loved the atmospheric feel that the author gives with the Clinic that is completely isolated from the outside world. When shit hits the fan you’re on your own. I was a little disappointed in the ending but over all I enjoyed it.

Thank you source books an netgalley for an arc.

The story starts off good, and I was excited to pick it up and read it, but 75% of the way through, the whole feel changes, and it goes a little off the rails. I really had to convince myself to finish the book.
I would not recommend to a friend.

This book annoyed me to no end. The characters were all so self righteous and for what? The big twist was shocking but also too ridiculous to believe. I kept reading to figure out “whodunnit” so it kept me engaged, but I was already so over it by the time it ended.

This is a well written book with a lot of thrills. I am thankful for the chance to have read this. Will recommend to others with a similar interest.

This book started out so strong and went downhill about halfway through. The characters were pretty awful, and the ending was a bit flat to me— it felt like the author just had a deadline to meet and finished it to meet that. Disappointed

A famous woman dies mysteriously at an exclusive rehab called the Clinic. Her sister takes it upon herself to get to the bottom of it, and checks herself into the rehab. Keep in mind, she also has some dependency issues!

. The beginning was fantastic! I was pulled in by the prose. Unfortunately things kind of fell apart for me in the second half. Just a bit too outlandish and illogical. It was also a tad too long. That said, it was still an enjoyable read and I will definitely read what Quinn writes next!

This was the first novel I have read by this author and this was a book that I enjoyed. I would recommend this novel.

I read this book while waiting for a hurricane to literally pass over my house and this was just the type of distraction I needed.

I enjoyed the locked-room atmosphere of THE CLINIC, along with most of the characters.

That is surprising seeing as how our main character, Meg, is sort of morally gray. We just aren't sure what we are dealing with other than we know she has prescription medicine and alcohol dependencies.

When her sister dies at a rehab clinic for the famous, Meg goes undercover to find out what happened.

I thought the story was a bit unbelievable at times, but I just really enjoyed the plot and the way Meg's story was told.

Thank you NetGalley and Sourcebooks Landmark for an e-copy of THE CLINIC to review.

I rate THE CLINIC four out of five stars.

The Clinic by Cate Quinn is a gripping psychological thriller set in a remote rehab clinic on the Pacific Northwest coast. The story begins with Meg, an undercover investigator at a Los Angeles casino, who learns of her estranged sister Haley's death at an exclusive rehab facility. Determined to uncover the truth behind Haley's death, Meg checks herself into the clinic under the guise of a patient. The narrative is split between Meg and Cara, the clinic's manager, as they navigate the eerie and mysterious circumstances surrounding the supposed suicide.

The Clinic excels in its atmospheric setting and complex character portrayals. Quinn's ability to weave a suspenseful and psychologically rich narrative keeps readers hooked from start to finish. However, some may find the pacing uneven at times, and the dark themes may not be suitable for all readers.

Overall, The Clinic is a must-read for fans of psychological thrillers, offering a deep dive into the complexities of addiction, trauma, and the human psyche.

Unfortunately, I really struggled with this book and could not finish it. I found the main story hard to follow and the POVs were confusing for me.

This is a great thriller set in a rehab clinic located in the Pacific Northwest. The main character, Meg, checks herself into the clinic to try to find out what happened to her sister who was reported to have committed suicide. This one will keep you guessing.

*The Clinic* by Cate Quinn – 4 Stars**

Cate Quinn’s *The Clinic* is a dark and gripping thriller that delves into the psychological complexities of its characters while maintaining an intense, fast-paced narrative. Set in a remote, high-end rehabilitation center, the story follows the unraveling of secrets as patients with troubled pasts confront their deepest fears and darkest truths.

Quinn masterfully crafts a tense atmosphere, building suspense with each chapter. The characters are flawed but deeply human, and their interactions drive much of the emotional weight of the story. The twists and turns keep readers on edge, with a few surprises that are truly shocking, making this book hard to put down.

However, at times, the story does dip into familiar thriller tropes, and some plot points might feel predictable to avid readers of the genre. A bit more development of the clinic’s setting and its psychological impact on the characters could have added an extra layer of depth.

Overall, *The Clinic* is a well-executed thriller with enough psychological tension and character intrigue to satisfy fans of the genre. It’s a dark, captivating read that will keep you hooked until the final reveal.

I really enjoyed The Clinic by Cate Quinn, the novel is full of twists and turns but it does have a great deal of trauma related issues and if you're not prepared for that it is kind of a dark novel. I will say I recommend this novel to anybody that likes a dark thriller.

This book was good! One sentence summary - a woman checks into a clinic to find out what happened to her twin. I enjoyed the plot and the characters equally! But it only gets 4 stars because it took a WHILE before I was really into it.

Took too long to take off, I found this boring and unoriginal. It didn’t build the right atmosphere of tension or intrigue, instead I just kept waiting for the pacing to pick up.

Read this one for my local book club and it was the perfect mystery for an engaged discussion! Lots of points to discuss including the characters (and their many, many flaws) and the multiple unexpected twists. Although a bit of a slower start, the pace picked up midway through and was an overall quick read with the short, action-packed chapters toward the end.

With that said, there was a lot in this that just seemed too out of touch with reality to connect with. The characters themselves were a bit challenging to keep straight and to believe, and the ending just took off in some crazy directions. It's a unique read and a fair mystery, but left me wanting more overall.

Thank you to Sourcebooks Landmark and NetGalley for my e-ARC, all thoughts are my own!

I was getting tired of the same plot twists, same character flaws and same settings UNTIL this book arrived.
Not only was I surprised at how quickly I was devouring the book but how much I was enjoying it.
Well done!

I was a little skeptical about this book. It;s not normally the genre i would read but it did not disappoint. Go read this book!
