Celebrations are in order, as thriller writer Sarah Pearse has reached the 1.5 million copy milestone. A trilogy following detective Elin Warner, The Sanatorium (Transworld, 2021), The Retreat (Transworld, 2022) and The Wilds (Little, Brown, 2024) were each published to great success. All three novels achieved best-seller status in both the UK and US, and Sarah has been published in over 30 territories worldwide.
‘It’s thrilling to reach such a significant sales milestone and to see new readers discovering my earlier books,’ Sarah said. ‘After The Wilds came out, life became a bit of a whirlwind of travelling around the country to meet readers, supporters and talk to the media.’
The Sanatorium was chosen by Reese Witherspoon for her popular bookclub on its release in February 2021, and TV rights to the novel were quickly snapped up. Sarah is currently hard at work on her first standalone novel, and we can’t wait to see what she does next!
