Quite by accident, Timthie discovers that Chamelea takes the same mood-stabilizing drug that he does, Gannerall. This knowledge leads to a new closeness between them, even as Chamelea voices her fear of the greedy family members whom she believes are in a plot to railroad her to an insane asylum, thereby securing their clawhold on the Hemlockhurst fortune.
Rural England, 1930s. A distinguished psychiatrist, Dr. Vaughn Pivott, is driving his young patient, Timthie Draven, through a terrible storm, and is deeply concerned that Timthie will miss his next dose of medication. A sudden car accident, in which the doctor vanishes in the wild river, makes this inevitable, and Timthie seeks shelter at a nearby Gothic mansion, Hemlockhurst Hall, where a whole separate cauldron of mayhem and murder is brewing. In the midst of it, Timthie meets the lovely and fragile Chamelea Hemlockhurst, who turns out to be on the same psych medication as Timthie...and like him, she has missed her last dose. Are these young people, then, responsible for the night of terror that follows?
In the spirit of Alfred Hitchcock, Agatha Christie, and vintage old-dark-house thrillers, BAD MEDICINE offers plenty of classic mystery entertainment.
