‘Deliciously dark and utterly compelling – I couldn’t put it down.’ – CLARE MACKINTOSH
They’re locked up for your safety. Now, you’re locked in with them.
How do you find a murderer in a prison full of killers?
On a locked ward in the world’s highest-security prison hospital, a scream shatters the night.
A nurse has been murdered and her daughter has been taken.
And with only five days to find the girl, the clock is ticking for Dr Connie Woolwine to find a killer hiding in plain sight…
Welcome to The Institution. The locked room thriller listeners don't want to leave.

The back stories of the serial killers were the most compelling parts of the book.
The narrator did a brilliant job with various English accents but her attempt at an American was lacking & I found this very annoying.
Good but not great
