Many thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Group Putnam for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest medical thriller by a favorite, Robin Cook - 5 stars!
Dr. Ryan Sullivan is a pathology resident, assigned to the Medical Examiner's Office for a month-long rotation. However, he hates doing autopsies and does everything in his power to get out of them. Chief Medical Examiner, Dr, Laurie Montgomery, has Ryan assist her on a suicide case in hopes of getting him intrigued. It didn't work quite as planned - Ryan still abhors autopsies, but is now engrossed in a research project. There have been a string of suicides with red flags pointing to possible homicides, but not enough evidence to definitively classify them as such. But his research project may put all of them in danger.
This series featuring Laurie Montgomery and her husband, Dr Jack Stapleton, also an ME, have long been one of my favorites. I somehow missed the last few, so definitely have to go back and rectify that. These books can certainly be read as stand alones, but are much better with all the history between the characters. This topic was so intriguing and topical, and I also learned a lot about medical legal investigators. I can't wait for the next book in this series - always highly recommended if you love a medical thriller like I do!
