I have to admit, I am a total addict for books by this author. I have thoroughly enjoyed every single one and urge you, if you like a medical thriller, to get started on these.
This outing introduces a new character, Dr. Maya Summer, who works at Arizona Public Health, and has a side gig at a local family medicine clinic so she can keep up her clinical skills. She's concerned with all matters affecting the local citizenry, including helmet laws, mosquitos, swimming pool contamination, and other infections issues that might bring loss of life or limb. Although she's currently involved with a cardiologist, she's drawn to one of the physicians at the clinic, Dr. Alex Reddish. So a little mix of medicine and romance never hurt anyone!
I love her character -- she's physically damaged from a long ago accident, but is smart and empathetic to both people and animals. There's a bit of a mystery in this one involving tainted consumables that are making the clinic staff ill -- who is doing it, and why? The gist of the novel, however, is the day-to-day practice of medicine. I enjoyed the patient interactions, the health problems, the public safety issues, the asides about obscure disease, and the interplay between the health care practitioners.
If you enjoy stories about medicine along with interesting characters, a bit of romance, and the lovely, HOT, Arizona setting, you will love this one.
Thank you to NetGalley and University of Nevada Press for this e-book ARC to read, review, and recommend. I can't wait for another featuring this character.
This is a standalone but I hope it is the first of a new series.
Genre - medical thriller/mystery
