Medical Thriller

A Message in Poison by BJ Magnani

 

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Partners In Crime Book Tours in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

A Message in Poison by BJ Magnani was a good book.  This is the third book in the series and the first one I have read.  I wasn’t lost as I was reading this book, so you don’t have to read all of the books if you don’t want to, but if the series interests you, I would start from the first book and read them in order. I did enjoy this book, but it isn’t a series that I want to read all of the books.  I think I feel that way because there are politics in the story, and I am not the biggest fan of books like this.  I enjoyed the authors writing and the characters in this story.  The author did a great job of giving you the right amount of background info, so you understand what is going on but not so much that you get bored.  This book had a unique plot because, as I have said, this isn’t usually a genre read, and I enjoyed reading something different. I loved that this book had quite a bit of suspense because it kept me reading. After all, I had to know what would happen and how it ended.  I say I didn’t see the ending coming, and I loved that.  If you are looking for something different to read this summer, I would give this series a shot because I am sure you will enjoy it.

Series: A Dr. Lily Robinson Novel, The Art of Secret Poisoning Part 3

Sparks fly as Dr. Lily Robinson-the brilliant academic pathologist and covert assassin for the U.S. Government-investigates two seemingly unrelated deaths alongside her lover, Agent Jean Paul Marchand, and D.C. Medical Examiner Dr. Logan Pelletier.

A U.S. Senator and the president of a developing nation are found dead in their beds. As governments thousands of miles apart react to the fallout and begin their investigations, no one claims responsibility, and no motives are clear. Yet, the cause of death implies a link between the two—one that only a mind versed in poisons and politics can decipher. With her personal relationships teetering on the brink and her loved ones facing foreign threats, Lily must unravel the mystery and uncover a plot more calculating than anyone could imagine—but it may be too late.

A Message in Poison, the third part of the Art of Secret Poisoning trilogy (The Queen of All Poisons and The Power of Poison), continues with twists and turns as Dr. Lily Robinson travels the globe, stares down death, and finds herself at “another crossroad, another choice between life real or imagined…”

The fast-paced action juxtaposes nicely with the personal dilemmas Lily faces as she uncovers a new plot that forces her to reconsider her talents and place in the world.

Scar Tissue by Patricia Hale

Book Review Graphic

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Partners In Crime Book Tours in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

Scar Tissue by Patricia Hale was another amazing book that I also enjoyed.  I have been super interested in books like this one lately and I have added this author to my list because I can’t wait to read more books by her in the future.  I also hope that she writes more books with these characters in the future because I really fell in love with them as I was reading this book.  This book did keep me on the edge of my seat as I was reading, and it kept me reading because I had to know how it all ended.  I can’t say enough good things about this book because I loved everything about this book and the authors writing.  I loved that this book had parts of the medical industry in it because that is where my heart is.  I always love books that involve that kind of stuff so that is another reason that I loved this book.  If you love books that have medical things in them along with a good mystery than I know you will love this book as much as I did.

Medical Judgement by Dr. Richard Mabry

Medical Judgment Richard Mabry

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Litfuse in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

Medical Judgement by Richard L. Mabry, M.D. was a good book but not my favorite one by this author. I had a hard time getting into the book for some reason but even when I say that I still enjoyed most of this book. I had a hard time connecting with the characters in this book which made it hard for me to care about the things that happened to them. I love this author writing, and I loved that his books are all medical thrillers. So even though I wasn’t a huge fan of this book is was still a good book and one that I would recommend to anyone who loves medical thrillers as I do.

Medical Judgement by Dr Richard Mabry

About The Book

Medical Judgment (Abingdon Press, May 2016)

Dr. Sarah Gordon lost her husband and daughter. Now she’s about to lose her life.

After losing the two people she loved the most, Sarah Gordon doesn’t think life could get worse. But, after a fire in her garage is ruled an arson, she begins to realize someone is after her—and that person wants to see her dead. But first, they want to see her suffer.

Her late husband’s best friend, Kyle Andrews, and a recovering alcoholic detective, Bill Larson, are trying to solve the mystery before it’s too late, and they’re both trying to win her heart, too. Not only does Sarah feel torn between two men, she also feels as though she cannot trust anyone.

With creepy threats that become more and more sinister, Sarah finds herself in constant fear, but even the best home alarm technology won’t protect her. Who is doing this, and why are they after her?
