An ok read - 3 star

Pepper is arrested by police and left in New Hyde Hospital, psychiatric unit simply because the police cannot be bothered to do the paperwork. He becomes lost in the system and an alteration at the unit results in Pepper being held indefinitely. The book is really a study of mental health and how it appears to be more beneficial to keep patients in a drug induced state rather than educate and help them return to the community. I quite enjoyed.

 

Great fun :) - 5 star

What a great fun read! Rose debois and her trusted friend Beauregard Miller (just call me Miller :) long term residents at The Autumn Springs retirement Home, must use all their cunning to discover why many of their friends are being brutally murdered. Someone in Autumn Springs has a desire to slaughter defenceless pensioners by the use of drugs and a rather sharp knife.

I must admit I was unable to guess the identity of the perpetrator but enjoyed the suspense and the adventures along the way! My favourite characters were the 3 Baxter sisters Betsie, Barbara and Bridget intent on summoning a devil from hell to help protect them and in return for that help one of the sisters must be a sacrifice. Things do not work out quite as planned, the sisters do play a very important part but not in the way I expected :
Very enjoyable read and highly recommended.
