Not to be confused with Karen Cole, a different author. From Amazon : Welcome to Angelton Lunatic Asylum. Once You're in, it's Murder Getting Out. 1906: Maud Lovell has been at Angelton for 5 years. She can't remember anything about her past or how she got here. She is told she is hysterical, distressed and untrustworthy. Badly unstable and prone to violence. But then new a new doctor arrives and Maud is hypnotised. When she finally remembers what has been done to her, and by whom, her mind turns to her past – and to revenge . . . Well written, well researched and Victorian and Gothic - although set in 1906 it is a touch after the Victorian era but conditions would have remained the same. No twists in this novel but it was easy to read and entertaining, which is what I wanted. Recommended

Well written, well researched and Victorian and Gothic - although set in 1906 is a touch after the Victorian era but conditions would have remained the same. No twists in this novel but it was easy to read and entertaining, which I what I wanted. Maud is confined to the Asylum and is treated in what was becoming even then an old-fashioned and somewhat brutal way. A new doctor arrives and hypnotises her and that's when things start to change. Maud then remembers what's been done to her and is deemed cured, even by the doctor who confined her, and is let out. She then decides to check her memory and goes back to the house where she worked before she was confined.
