A tragic event starts a doomsday clock on the life of Peter Douglas; the patriarch of the wealthy and proper Douglas family of Boston. Critical Care is a suspenseful, sexy, fast paced, family medical drama set in a prominent Boston hospital. From the opening chapter it's a life and death race against time for Peter that pits greed against morality, self against self, colleagues and family members against each other. Critical Care immerses us in the intimate themes of the here and now and the unknown space we call faith and destiny. Peter's story keeps the reader on the edge making us think about our priorities and what we are willing to risk fulfilling them?
This was the most compelling novel I've read in years. In part because it deals with a myriad of subjects that interest me, and in part because how well it addresses how tenuous and precious life is. The story is fast paced, sexy at times, and has several "on the edge of your seat " plot twists. If it weren't for the author's brilliant writing skills, this complex book could have been a disaster. I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't enjoy this book.
