The screams of the patients on ward five told Adelaide Blake that time had run out. She stopped searching for the key to the file cabinet and went to stand at the door of the small office. She had not dared to turn on any lights in the laboratory. There was enough moonlight spilling through the high, arched windows to illuminate the long workbenches and create ominous silhouettes of the equipment and instruments.
The Other Lady Vanishes by Amanda Quick
She had to get as far away as possible from the asylum before the orderlies realized she was gone. It occurred to her that one person already knew she had disappeared - the doctor in the surgical mask who had gone to her room with the syringe.

This one sounds very interesting. I thought it must be about some kind of hospital, probably a mental hospital. I've read other books by Amanda Quick, but it has been a while. Enjoy!
I enjoyed this one. Amanda Quick is an author I buy automatically. This week I am featuring A Merciful Silence by Kendra Elliot. Happy reading!
Between the cover, title, and intro, I'm hooked. I'd keep reading for sure. Hope you're enjoying it. Here's my link: https://wp.me/p4DMf0-1Cu
I've always liked Amanda Quick. This one is off to a good start. Enjoy.
This one is on my wishlist. I haven't read Amanda Quick's books in a long time, but I always liked her work.
I love that cover - what a fabulous period feel, right down to the font! It sounds really creepy... Thank you for sharing.
I usually like Amanda Quick, so I'd keep reading.
