Thank you to Netgalley and Macmillan Audio. This book is deeply disturbing. Brian murdered his parents and was deemed criminally insane so he went to a psychiatric hospital and had been there for almost 30 years. This book is mostly about his journey to be released from this institution. This investigation appears very well researched and the culture at Perkins is not to help and heal the patient but to control and the medical diagnosis rather rote and not done with clear observation.
Brian’s family was full of mental illness and his history unhealthy.
I can’t say he is healthy and should be released but this book points out many inaccuracies in the levels of care. I believe this isn’t limited to one facility

I enjoyed the narration by Christina Delaine
