Many thanks to NetGalley and GP Putnam Sons for gifting me an audio ARC of the latest medical thriller by a long-time favorite, Robin Cook. All opinions expressed in this review are my own – 4.5 stars!
Mitt Fuller is a first-year resident at the iconic Bellevue Hospital, following in the footsteps of four other celebrated Dr Fuller’s. Mitt is not quite prepared for his first days though, as one patient after another dies after being in his care. Mitt has always had a secret sensitivity to the nonphysical, but he’s seeing things in the hospital that he’s not sure if they are hallucinations, sleep deprivation, or something else. As things get worse, Mitt finds himself exploring for answers in the abandoned Bellevue Psychopathic Hospital.
Robin Cook’s books always teach you something as well as being intriguing thrillers. This one was a bit more slow-paced, but that also helped the reader to become indoctrinated into the demanding physical and mental tasks of new residents. You felt his sleep deprivation and how it affected him. This book showcased the horrors of medical care in the past, and you will shudder many times to think of the poor patients. This one is full of supernatural events, but I loved how the ending brought it all together.
