Rumor has it madness is for sale in London. Dr. Ezra Talbot isn't buying, not when his was free.
As an affiliate physician with the Thames Police Court, Ezra has one job--to sort the sane from the mad. But somehow, he's ended up on the wrong side, for Ezra has a disorder of his own. While his condition doesn't have a name in 1848, he knows full well what happens when you trust the wrong person. One misstep and his secrets will crumble.
For Magdalena Trudeau, fate isn't a fairytale. She can almost hear it speaking... or perhaps it's the water. Aunt Salomé taught her every name matters and secrets unravel themselves, but these secrets are quite tangled. When she meets Dr. Talbot, he awakens in her not only a longing for more, but also a desire to help him, and possibly herself in the process.
Dr. Talbot thinks he killed his dreams long ago. Magdalena can wake those dreams up, but first, she'll have to walk through the dark. Together they embark on a journey of pain, madness, and hope.
A historical mystery set in Victorian England, Wednesdays Were for Dying is written from a dual perspective and explores the relationship between mental health and neurodivergence at a time before either was understood.
