The Light Runner
Welcome to The Light Runner by Ally Walker book tour hosted by Suzy Approved Book Tours.
About The Light Runner
Things aren’t as they appear to be at Bainbridge Psychiatric Hospital. Decorated war hero and politician Captain Oliver Haskell has voluntarily committed himself following the murder of his wife, scientist Hannah Haskell, in the parking lot of her workplace, Wellglad Pharmaceuticals.
His case is assigned to Dr. Ella Kramer, a young psychiatrist just out of her residency with a troubled past of her own. After interviewing the captain, Ella starts to listen to her other patients at Bainbridge, who seem to be operating in another reality altogether. But it is when their reality bleeds into Captain Haskell’s that Ella is forced to choose between the two worlds and learns to trust her gut about what really happened to Hannah Haskell. Detective Paul Moran who is investigating the murder smells a rat—or, perhaps, in this case, a rabbit—as he attempts to unravel what has taken place and its strange connection to the hospital’s patients.
Review for The Light Runner
If you’re into murder mysteries with a side of mind-bending metaphysical twists, this debut is calling your name. Set in a psychiatric hospital that’s just the right mix of creepy and fascinating, the story keeps you guessing—are we dealing with a character’s delusions or slipping into another reality entirely?
Ella, the main character, is on a mission to figure out her purpose while navigating strange happenings, intense patient sessions, and a murder that turns everything upside down. The science-meets-spirituality vibe is super well done, and the way the mystery unfolds will have you second-guessing everything. The ending ties it all together in a way that’s weirdly satisfying. A wild, smart, and seriously cool read!
