1.22.2024 - The Clinic

The Clinic by Cate Quinn 

Many thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Landmark for gifting me a digital ARC of the new book by Cate Quinn - 4 stars!

Meg works undercover at an LA casino, trying to catch cheaters.  Nursing a sore shoulder from an incident that went badly wrong, she's now taking too many oxycodone pills along with alcohol.  When she gets a report that her estranged sister, Haley, a popular singer, died by suicide at an exclusive celebrity rehab clinic, Meg decides to go in as a patient and investigate what happened.  Once there, she trusts no one and suspects everyone.

Told from the POV of Meg and Cara, the manager of the clinic, in short chapters to heighten the suspense and intrigue as Meg tries to figure out which of her fellow patients could be involved in Haley's death.  And just what kind of treatments are the patients getting?  Is there more going on behind the scene?  None of these characters are extremely likable and there are parts where you have to suspend belief, but I was all in,  I thought it was a good look into addiction and mental health issues as well.
