About the author

Judith Lucci

63 books426 followers
Dr. Judith Lucci is an Amazon bestselling author who writes what she knows. She is the author of the Alex Destephano Medical Thriller Series and the soon to be released Michaela McPherson, Private Eye, a series centered on a retired homicide detective from Richmond, Virginia who really can’t retire.

“Before I wrote fiction, I was an academic writer who published research, theoretical works, text books and just about anything a nurse or college professor needed to publish to survive. The differences in academic writing and writing fiction are dramatic. Writing what I know propels me to pull from my clinical experiences, some good, some not and use popular fiction as a means to teach and advocate for others. My books have three purposes, to engage the reader, to entertain them and to educate about healthcare and perhaps, the darker side of hospital life.

I am a nurse and hold graduate and doctoral degrees from Virginia Commonwealth University and the University of Virginia. I have always been a reader and a writer and I love it. I am a member of the Virginia Writers Club, The Shenandoah Valley Writers and Sisters in Crime.

When I’m not writing I am probably teaching, paining on silk as I am a multi-media artist or playing with my many dogs. Please feel free to contact me at judithlucciwrites@gmail.com. I am excited about meeting you!

Great reading 📚

All the books in this package provides lots of action packed reading. While it is titled as medical thrillers they really cover several different genres that may not be part of your usual reading material they are all very entertaining.

Not an unlucky number!

A superb collection of stories that gives you hours of enjoyment. They are medical thrillers but widen the horizon with some of these books. All well written and if liked, then they are all part of their own series.

Book 1-Chaos at the Crescent City Medical Center

Never a dull moment at Crescent City Medical Center. There are so many different storylines intertwined it keeps you guessing about who wants whom to pay & what are they paying for. Wonderful characters and intense drama throughout all the action-packed events. Highly recommend this book. I read it as part of the Pulse Medical Collection. Loved it! Well done, Judith Lucci.

This book was okay!

I think some of the storylines bordered on ramblings. For some there was just too much over kill and thus the ramblings.

The stories in Pulse were very good. I loved all of them. A couple of them took me a minute to get into them, but once I did, I loved them. It's a great read. I definitely recommend it.

This is a great collection of medical-related thrillers. The topics are incredibly varied, with plenty to like for all. I personally only found two of the 13 stories that I bailed out of early to skip to other books that held my interest more. This set will keep you reading late all week!

Thorn by Fiona Quinn
Wow. There is so much going on in this book I don’t even know where to start. And perhaps more importantly, I’m at a loss for what to say that doesn’t give away all the best parts of the book. Thorn is surrounded by half-truths and deception. Even his team can’t tell what’s real and what’s cover-up. Who’s worthy of trust? Who only has their own best interests at heart? Is Juliette the innocent kidnap victim she appears to be or is she playing a deeper game than any of them can guess? I loved this story, and I hated everything that got in my way of enjoying it: work, food, sleep. I resented every moment that I couldn’t spend with this book, because I was desperate to know more about what was going on and how Thorn was going to pull off a miracle. I can’t wait for the next book. In the meantime, I’ll probably be back-tracking to read the rest of the series that I haven’t yet.
I received a complimentary copy of this story from the author.

This is a fantastic deal. I have already read one of the books in this set and look forward to reading the rest. I’ll update my review as I read more.

First up is Thorn...
Another great book in the Iniquus Series. This one features Thorn. He is on the search for a woman kidnapped in France. Juliette is the daughter of a DARPA Scientist and has problems with her hearing and balance as the result of an accident. Thorn has an immediate reaction when he sees a video of the kidnapping and feels drawn to Juliette. Things are not what they seem and there are lots of people searching for this woman. Lynx is helping out and she is needed because we have Russians, Omega bad guys, dirty evil scientists, Mossad and the Rex Dues.
As with all of Ms Quinn’s books, this one is action packed and will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Box sets are always a winner, one always has the next book handy to read.
In this we have 13 authors, all well known, and have read other books by them. These are full length, medical, thrillers, the different place settings.
Bringing array to chose from, for all readers. Well done.
