A horrifying, gripping novel. -Esquire A gripping tale - a thriller with all the stops pulled out. - The (London) Sunday Times Superb. Deeply moving. A positively harrowing page-turner about brainwashing, medicine gone mad and government complicity in a violation of basic human behaviour. More horrifying is that it is based on a true story. A compelling and graceful novel. -The Montreal Gazette Tender and poetic. Nickson's work deals with a staggering atrocity...(She) brings a keen eye for telling detail and a grace with the language to her story." -Macleans Absorbing, chilling...The Monkey Puzzle Tree illuminates a particularly sordid chapter in the history of a profession that has already much to answer for....A grim reminder of what can happen when people meddle with the mind, and forget the soul. -The Financial Post Read this novel....it was so disturbing. The Monkey Puzzle Tree tells us what Cameron did to destroy his victims and their families. It also teaches us why we should not foret what he did. - The Ottawa Citizen
