Midhaven

by W.E.D. Ross

Her mother a suicide, her father dead from an accident in which she was involved, lovely Rita Myles attempts to exorcise the devil within her. It all starts out when she was asked to uncover the mystery of the 'hanging suicides' at a private clinic.

Somewhere, somehow in the terror filled days that followed, was the answer to her own horror. Posing as a disturbed patient she felt herself inescapably caught up in the madness of the patients, never quite sure she might not become one of them.

[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.
