Saving Max

by Antoinette Van Heugten

Daniella Parkman knows her son Max.  He's brilliant and fragile and autistic.  But when she finds him unconscious and bloodied in the room of another boy at the psychiatric facility he's been admitted to, she suddenly isn't sure what she knows about her son.  But time is running out for Danielle to save her son.

This book started off very strong and I was quickly drawn into the storyline.  However, about halfway through it seemed to move into an unrealistic arena that it just didn't come back from.  That Danielle is able to break into the facility more than once, that she's the only person that can unravel the mystery of Max's victim, that the random man she meets in a hotel bar later becomes the only person who can help her, that what is considered the finest facility in the country hires a doctor with  less than stellar reputation, I just couldn't swallow all of it.  Maybe any one of those points, but I think it was the combination of all of them together that bothered me.

This was a Kindle book for $7.55 (though I believe the price is slightly higher now).
