[Linda (NOT RECEIVING NOTIFICATIONS) · Rating 3 out of 5]

I wanted to read this because of the whackadoodle heroine. Rita Myles had a mental breakdown at the beginning of the story. She eventually gets better and becomes a psychologist. Then she is talked into admitting herself into an institution by her mentor (knowing she had a breakdown!) to find out why patients are mysteriously dying. Hello. What was the man thinking?

This story is so far-fetched -I'm rolling my eyes now- but was fun to read for some zany moments.
