Overview

A wildly original story about a bunch of health care providers staffing a group home, resettling into the community adult patients with developmental disorders ranging from moderate to severe. Sort of a backward mystery, the murder revealed in the opening pages. Then the story jumps forward a decade and the plot revolves around the workers piecing together facts involving their nurse ratchet boss' involvement in the crime, using clues from the ramblings of one of the patients in their care. This works very well, keeping the focus of the story on the group home, issues related to caring of the patients, and their integration into the community rather than the mystery itself. The setting is the 80's when this practice was just first being used and somewhat controversial. The start of the story where an unusual death occurs in a hospital, and its revelation as a murder some years later, captivating. It made the readers wanting to read on and learn if there might be more similar deaths and the murderer brought to justice. At the same time, we learn of the complexities, the difficulties, and the intense human interactions needed to run a health care facility. The real-life needs and desires of mentally challenged and disabled people are portrayed in a non-intrusive manner that makes us empathize with them.
