[Bettie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Dr Louisa Maxwell brushes off a call from a former patient, Sophie Patterson, in the middle of a busy shift, only to discover the next day that Sophie has been admitted to the hospital, having taken a second overdose, and tragically died. Racked with guilt Louisa refuses to believe that Sophie intended to kill herself - all the signs indicated Sophie was getting her life back on track - and begins to suspect foul play. Louisa delves further into Sophie’s life; her family, her sister Jenny, her relationship with nurse Adam Bailey. As she becomes more and more involved, Louisa becomes increasingly convinced that someone was responsible for Sophie’s death. Despite warnings from her work colleagues, and her own relationship with boyfriend Jeff disintegrating, Louisa refuses to give up her search for the truth. But what is the truth? Is Louisa’s guilt leading her down the wrong path, or is there more to Sophie’s death than meets the eye?...
