I'm delighted to be involved in the blog tour for Glasshouse by Morwenna Blackwood
‘Now if I carry out this oath, and break it not, may I gain for ever reputation among all men for my life and for my art; but if I break it and forswear myself, may the opposite befall me.’
~ from the Hippocratic Oath (translated by WHS Jones)
Psychiatrists, Drs Whittle and Grosvenor, have dedicated their lives to helping their patients, but their approach, and the complications it reveals, lead them into relationships that harm not only themselves.
As their lives entangle, both men find that doing no harm is not as cut-and-dried as they perceived.
Can the patients in their care really trust them? Or are more sinister motives at work?
Delve into the dark world of psychiatric institutions where doctors and residents play a dangerous game where no one is infallible!

This extract may only be short, but it says a great deal about Dr Sasha Grosvenor...
The gleaming silver balls of my Newton’s cradle clack together with purifying violence. I stare at them while my mind clears, and pour a second strong black coffee from the pot.
I’ve disinfected the bathroom, and my effects have been returned to their proper positions. The laundry is clean and is in the tumble drier. The wood-burner has fresh wood, I have polished every surface, and all the windows are open. I have showered with tea tree shower gel to disinfect myself, and I have used a considerable amount of mouthwash. I had to get every trace of that woman – and by default, that man – off me. It is exhausting, but I will not stop.
I will not stop until Erazmus Whittle is dead.
When Morwenna Blackwood was six years old, she got told off for filling a school exercise book with an endless story when she should have been listening to the teacher/eating her tea/colouring with her friends. The story was about a frog. It never did end; and Morwenna never looked back.
Born and raised in Devon, Morwenna suffered from severe OCD and depression, and spent her childhood and teens in libraries. She travelled about for a decade before returning to Devon. She now has an MA in Creative Writing from the University of Exeter, and lives with her husband, son and three cats in a cottage that Bilbo Baggins would be proud of. Her debut psychological thriller, The (D)Evolution of Us, is published by #darkstroke, and has become an Amazon best-seller. When she is not writing, Morwenna works for an animal rescue charity, or can be found down by the sea.
She often thinks about that frog.
