Shadowside is well written, and the sense of time, 1930s, well done. Sadly, I found this book was not for me and only got halfway.
A young girl has disappeared from the Sunnyside Asylum for children. Her mother hires reporter to find her. To be on the spot for his investigation he goes undercover as an orderly at the hospital.
Prior to her disappearance one of the staff has fallen down the stairs and died. Was it an accident or was he pushed?
The story is told from several POVs and the wide range of characters are believable.
My rating 3*
