Justifiable Madness- AB Morgan- 5*

A man is found at a railway station naked handing out prayers to the commuters in an unknown language. He is soon taken to the local psychiatric ward where he is sectioned and detained whilst appearing mute. One of the nurses thinks there is something more about him but can’t quite put her finger on what. One of the consultants , Dr Sharman , says he has seen the man before but won’t say anything more. The consultant is a bully to the staff and generally unliked by everyone he comes into contact with and is called “Charming Sharman” tongue in cheek. A very different story, a very unusual plot. Characters, especially Mark and Monica who come to life through the pages and you are willing for the right thing to happen. This is sensitively written in dealing with psychological issues whilst maintaining enough “what if’s” to keep the reader compelled. A very interesting premise and a highly enjoyable read.I voluntarily chose to read this ARC and all opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.
