Asylum - John Harwood



What started out as a historical mystery novel soon descended into cleverly twisted tale. 

Harwood manages to successfully switch your perspective during Asylum, leaving me racing towards the end.

If you like your stories with a heavy does of historical content and the thrill of a chase then this one's for you. The tale is similar to the plot of the film Gothika, with the lead winding up in a lunatic asylum with no knowledge of how or why. 

The latter half of the book was far superior to the first. Once you've gotten past all of the events prior to the here-and-now and met the key characters it then starts to get interesting!

My advice; hold out til the end, it's worth the wait...
