Cordi has suffered with mental illness for so long her brother was forced to put her in a mental institution. This book was interesting, fun and some parts confusing yet fun. While in the institution she not only questions everyone and everything but she finds her roommate dead or is she? While on her quest to find the killer Cordi's life is threatened several times. She also unraveled some interesting things about other patients, doctors and nurses. You will not be disappointed with this book nor, do I believe you will figure out the ending. I am very lucky to have gotten a chance to read this book before it comes out thank you NetGalley the author for writing such a book and Dundurn. ( )

The review by ElizaJane | Jun 24, 2016 | sums up my reaction exactly. ( )

Psychiatric wards are such a great place to set a mystery, holds such a flavor of the unknown. This is where Cordy finds herself, committed by her brother after falling prey to a debilitating depression. When she finds one of her roommates dead, she begins to believe strange things are going on and secrets are being kept. She also believes she may be the next victim.

Didn't notice this was a fourth book in the series when I requested it but believe I would have had a more in depth understanding of Cordy, her friends and family situation. Found this book to be interesting, not knowing who was on the level or not, seems all these seriously ill people had secrets of some sort or another. Was interesting to read about the various groups provided in situations such as these and the book did keep me reading. The ending, I felt was somewhat abrupt after the long drawn out storyline to get is there, though it was a surprise. At least for me.

ARC from Netgalley. ( )

Crazy Dead is the fourth book in the Cordi O'Callaghan Mystery series, but it works fine as a stand-alone. I didn't have any problems following the story although I haven't read any of the previous books.
Struggling with severe depression, Cordi becomes an in-patient on a psychiatric ward at a Toronto hospital. One morning, she discovers one of her roommates dead in bed. Cordi believes Mavis was murdered. But the staff tell her she has it all wrong, Mavis isn't dead at all, just sick and has been moved. But Cordi knows. She starts investigating her fellow patients as well as doctors and nurses to find out why someone would have wanted Mavis dead.
I enjoyed the mystery aspect of the plot. The author did a fantastic job of keeping the reader guessing right to the end. It was impossible to know whom Cordi could trust. I even started doubting her brother Ryan.
I was really intrigued by the rather unusual setting of a mental health facility as a backdrop for a cozy mystery, which is why I picked this book up in the first place. I know zilch about mental health provision in Canada, so as my questions accumulated, I decided I had to simply accept several things that I found a little difficult to believe.
The story kept me engaged. It's a good read if you enjoy being mystified.
3.5 stars.
I received an ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. ( )
