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.
