True crime stories, like the one that this story is based on, can be, and often are, more horrifying than made-up tales of horror. In an effort to stop her migraine headaches, the fictional character of Stella Burke checked into Wilderness Heights, the clinic of the real character of Linda Hazzard. Dr. Hazzard promised perfect health through fasting. Her methods and motives proved to be much more sinister. A. D. Lawrence's book based on the proven and the suspicioned acts of Dr. Hazzard leave readers unsettled to say the least. Fans of thrillers will not be disappointed. Those easily disturbed will need to follow this book with something lighthearted. Neither will walk away unaffected.
I am grateful to have received a complimentary copy of The Purple Nightgown, the latest book in Barbour Publishing's True Colors series, from the publisher via NetGalley without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.
