As the new year plugs along, I’m so glad for the chance to read some amazing books lately. I had the chance to review medical thriller, Fatal Intent by Tammy Euliano. I’ll be reviewing this book and giving away a copy of her next book Misfire.
First, here’s a bit about Fatal Intent:
When her elderly patients start dying at home days after minor surgery, anesthesiologist Dr. Kate Downey wants to know why. The surgeon, not so much. “ Old people die, that’ s what they do,” is his response. When Kate presses, surgeon Charles Ricken places the blame squarely on her shoulders. Kate is currently on probation, and the chief of staff sides with the surgeon, leaving Kate to prove her innocence and save her own career. With her husband in a prolonged coma, it’ s all she has left.
Aided by her eccentric Great Aunt Irm, a precocious medical student, and the lawyer son of a victim, Kate launches her own unorthodox investigation of these unexpected deaths. As she comes closer to exposing the culprit’ s identity, she faces professional intimidation, threats to her life, a home invasion, and, tragically, the suspicious death of someone close to her. The stakes escalate to the breaking point when Kate, under violent duress, is forced to choose which of her loved ones to save— and which must be sacrificed.
My review:
What an exciting book! I was captivated the whole way through. It’s strange, I’m not one usually for medical thrillers, but this one held my interest. I loved the dynamics of Great Aunt Irm and the main character, Kate. Such good character development there! The author does an excellent job of making the medical information understandable, without it seeming like she had to simplify things for the non-medical reader (like me!). This is one of those “I have to see what happens!” books I love so much. I’m excited to see there’s another one in the series, and I can’t wait for you to check it out.
Purchase a copy of Fatal Intent and the next in the series Misfire over on Amazon.com. Or add Fatal Intent or Misfire to your GoodReads reading list.
