The latest novel from Quinn (
Blood Sisters;
Black Widows) features a woman who’s trying to find answers about her sister’s death. Meg and Haley are very different, except that they share addiction issues due to a traumatic childhood. Meg works undercover security in Los Angeles. She poses as a high roller, playing the casino card tables in order to catch loan sharks and cheaters. She is a bit too dependent on pills and alcohol to get her through. Movie star Haley is always in the tabloids, especially for her own addiction problems which have landed her in an elite rehab facility known as the Clinic, located in the Pacific Northwest. Meg tends to ignore the media hype around her sister. Then, she hears that her sister has taken her own life. Refusing to believe it and wanting to find out exactly what happened, Meg assumes a new identity and enters the Clinic as a woman named Beth. While there, she finds that her own life might be in danger.
VERDICT Readers who enjoy suspense stories with characters who “go inside” institutions to investigate, such as Helen Fields’s The Institution, will enjoy this title.
