Overview

Was it… 
Bitter, all-consuming jealousy? 
Pathological sibling rivalry?
Pure insanity?

Whatever the cause—and everyone has a theory—it’s the Crime of the Decade when glamorous Georgia Cartwright, who was adopted as a newborn, is accused of killing the biological daughter of her wealthy, Southern family.

Georgia is locked in a psychiatric institution where the most violent offenders are held while she awaits trial. The only words she whispers when her estranged twin sister Amanda visits are, “I didn’t do it. You’ve got to get me out of here.”

Amanda doesn’t trust Georgia, but she can’t abandon her in a place so eerie and menacing that it seems to exist in another dimension. Is Georgia the victim of a powerful family that’s so depraved murder is the least of their crimes? Or is Amanda being led down a path of madness into the web of a master manipulator? 

Nothing is as it seems in Sarah Pekkanen’s The Locked Ward, a shocking psychological thriller about the complex bonds of sisterhood—and what happens when they are stretched to the breaking point.

Some doors in the Locked Ward should never be opened.

Review

Y’all! I had no idea where this book was going. Nor did I have any idea what was about to happen.

Georgia has been accused of killing her sister, Annabelle. But, Georgia has discovered a HUGE family secret. Georgia has a twin who was sent away for adoption at birth. Georgia reaches out to her twin, Amanda, for help.

Georgia is locked in a psychiatric institution where the most violent offenders are held while she awaits trial. The only words she whispers when her estranged twin sister Amanda visits are, “I didn’t do it. You’ve got to get me out of here.”

Talk about questions, intense family drama and huge secrets…this book has them all. I enjoyed all of it. But why did I give it 4 stars, you may ask? I wanted it to move just a bit faster. And to be honest, I was close to a 5 star on this one. It just needed to move a bit quicker. You cannot go wrong with this story though! Honestly…it has a little bit of everything!

The narrator, January LaVoy, is AMAZING! She added so much to the intensity! And this book is full of intensity and my favorite, secrets!

Need a thriller with a twist or two or three…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today.

I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review.
