Reviews

[Glen · Rating 3 out of 5]

A medical thriller about a female doctor whose patients begin to mysteriously die. She begins to investigate, stymied at every turn, but in the end, her faith and her family aid her in uncovering the usual conspiracy.

A slow burner, but still very readable.

This is the second book in the Dr. Gates McClure series that I've read. I liked it.
