I've read other accounts of how patients were treated back in the day at asylums and it's horrific. Johnson doesn't shy away from the subject in Detroit Breakdown, and will, in fact, have readers frantically turning the page in this thrilling suspenseful installment.
Elizabeth is shocked when she finds out her cousin Robert has been accused of killing another patient. Robbie being a patient at Eloise Insane Asylum for most of his life. She is sure he is innocent and sets out to prove it. She asks her friend Will to help her and he fakes amnesia, getting himself admitted to the hospital.
What Will doesn't take it account, though, is the brutal way he is treated. He wants that inside position so he can find out who the real killer is and prove Robert's innocence, but he didn't sign up for this! Elizabeth, Robert, the detective on the case and others lead the reader on a quest to find the real killer, who is killing patients, but along the way, we are presented with enthralling details of history. Johnson is a superbly talented author whom's writing will keep you riveted. Highly recommend!
