Last week I started to read The Madman's Tale - one of my 50 cent buys from the library bookstore (I'm breaking into my stash, trying to pick the ones I think will be just OK, gotta save the good ones for Denmark).
Its not too bad. Good to read when your tired at night, and just want to chill out in bed, a cup of yogi bedtime tea (which I also have been stockpiling for Denmark), and the electric blanket cranked to at least number 7.
Basically, a serial killer is (unknowingly) in a mental health hospital. The day that a harmless crazy named Lanky threatens a nurse, the killer kills that nurse. After killing the nurse in a way that links him to his past killings, the killer presents himself to Lanky as the the "Angel", telling him that he's fixed everything.
Of course they take away Lanky, believing him to be the killer.
The book then goes on with a group of people, including some patients and an outside investigator, trying to figure out who the angel is.
The big flaw for me is, why not just take Lanky around, show him every person in the hospital, have him ID the angel. Case solved.
