Description
Alice Armitage is a police officer. Or she was. Following a debilitating bout of PTSD, self-medication with drink and drugs, and a psychotic breakdown, Alice is now a long-term patient in an acute psychiatric ward. Though convinced that she doesn't really belong there, she finds companionship with the other patients in the ward despite their challenging and often intimidating issues. So when one of her fellow patients is murdered, Alice feels personally compelled to launch an investigation from within the ward. Soon, she becomes convinced that she has identified the killer and that she can catch them. Ignored by the police, she must gather proof on her own, relying on the few contacts she has on the outside that still take her calls. But Alice's life begins to unravel as she realizes that she cannot trust anyone in the ward, least of all herself. Having lost her conviction and with her investigative confidence shattered, she comes dangerously close to a psychological point of no return. Mark Billingham has crafted a mind-bending, heart-stopping and wholly original thriller.

Wenn jemand einen Krimi lesen möchte, weil er dieses Buch vllt in der Buchhandlung dort hat stehen sehen, dann kann ich nur sagen... Naja es gibt ein Verbrechen, aber es ist kein Krimi im eigentlichen Sinne. Es geht mehr um Alice, die in einer Psychiatrie sitzt und als ehemalige Polizistin versucht zu ermitteln. Versuchen deshalb weil es schwierig ist, durch die Regeln, Medikamente aber auch die Probleme der anderen Patienten. Alles in allem ist es aber ein sehr gutes Buch und man kann ihr Empfinden und Denken aufgrund des Schreibstiles sehr gut nachempfinden. Im Rahmen meiner Ausbildung durfte ich ein paar Monate das Personal und auch die Patienten einer offenen Akut-Station begleiten und ich muss sagen, außer dem Verbrechen (und als offene Station gab es bei uns keine Schleuse) ist es verdammt nah an der Realität, vorallem der Umgang der Menschen miteinander. Jeder der Wissen möchte wie es diesen Menschen geht, dem kann ich "Eingewiesen" wirklich nur empfehlen.
