#2021monopolychallenge - Chance (A favorite author)
I chose this book for this challenge because I really enjoyed Ms. Macallister's first book "A Magician's Lie". I think if I had read "Woman 99" first, I may not have chosen Ms. Macallister as a favorite author. "Woman 99" dragged at times and seem to have some repetitiveness. Still it was a good story but not a favorite.
Interesting storyline about women in insane asylums at a time when women were admitted into the asylums because of many reasons other than mental illnesses.
Goodreads: A vivid historical thriller about a young woman whose quest to free her sister from an infamous insane asylum risks her sanity, her safety and her life
Charlotte Smith's future is planned to the last detail, and so was her sister's - until Phoebe became a disruption. When their parents commit Phoebe to a notorious asylum, Charlotte knows there's more to the story than madness. Shedding her identity to become an anonymous inmate, "Woman Ninety-Nine," Charlotte uncovers dangerous secrets. Insanity isn't the only reason her fellow inmates were put away - and those in power will do anything to keep the truth, or Charlotte, from getting out.
