Lethal Injection

by Jerry Leake

Diane Saunders, a resident doctor at Boston County General’s trauma center, joins a young team of surgeons headed by the ruthless Doctor Harris. While struggling to balance the daunting challenges of the ER with trying to manage her sister’s care at a Chicago psychiatric ward, Diane observes a routine procedure that causes the death of a comatose patient. Suspecting an error from mislabeled medication, Diane begins a covert investigation to prove a nurse’s innocence, and uncovers a disturbing pattern of suspicious patient deaths. With the help of David Conroy, an expert in surveillance technology, Diane engages in a dangerous game of cat and mouse, unaware that the tables have been turned against her. A shocking setback forces Helen Lockwood, head nurse at the hospital, and Detective Mitch Hayes into an unforgiving arena of power and greed.

It started off okay. It was very action packed in the beginning with all the medical action. It did kind of feel like I was watching a medical drama which I enjoyed. I did kinda feel like the dialogue was flat. Certain instances didn’t make much sense. There is infrequent use of strong language and an inappropriate scene in the last chapter otherwise it’s fairly clean. It felt too long but I did like the action and the mystery. Especially the medical side I really enjoyed. It was very descriptive I just wasn’t really able to connect with the characters. I would recommend trying it.

I enjoyed Lethal Injection, although it took me some time to get into it. I can’t quite put my finger on why that is. The characters were written well enough, the plot was there, there were a few things that didn’t make sense, but the over all story was a good read. I couldn’t help but see Grey Sloan Memorial as the story played in my brain. I would like to know more about what happens next, how Diane’s relationships with her family heal and what’s next for her, David and Izzy.
Thank you VRO and the author for a free copy and the opportunity to read and review.

A fabulous read, so well written. The story follows Diane and David who are investigating the sudden death of a patient in a coma. Have there been others? Can they prove the killer is guilty? I would gladly read other novels written by this author. Highly recommended. Totally gripped from start to finish.

I was lucky enough to receive an advanced reader copy of this novel and leave this review voluntarily.

Diane Saunders is a resident at a Boston hospital. She is just started and is getting used to the hours and the exhaustion. She becomes a detective when strange that happen, patients. I found a plot very intriguing and the character development very good. I recommend this book for all who like medical thrillers.
