The Locked Ward – Sarah Pekkanen

Mandy, who took over the family bar after her parents’ deaths, has her world turned upside down when she finds out that 1) she has a twin sister named Georgia and 2) Georgia is locked in a psychiatric ward accused of murder.  Believing her newfound family is innocent, Mandy digs into Georgia’s life, looking for anything that might prove her innocence.  The closer she gets, however, the more her own life is in danger, leading to a final gambit that she hopes will save her sister’s life.

Sarah Pekkanen returns with her latest solo effort, The Locked Ward, her third straight outing without longtime collaborator Greer Hendricks.  She tells an intriguing tale with an unnecessary twist at the very end.  Despite that, this was another enjoyable read from her and I look forward to what she comes up with next.
