My Recommendation

 

A novel, set in The Institution, a hospital for the criminally insane.  Dr Connie is brought in with a secret mission to discover the killer of a pregnant nurse, who stole her baby.  None of the other staff or patients know Tara has been killed.  Her colleague, Braada is also at The Institution as inmate, patient B.  The pair need to conduct a covert investigation, they have 5 days to find out who committed this heinous crime.
Lots of detailed characters and scene setting, you can really picture everyone clearly.  Very different to Helen Fields previous books.  A very dark, atmospheric read,
