Gripping medical mystery!
Although the second in the series featuring attorney Camille Delaney, this is the first I have read. That will definitely be rectified as I enjoyed this one so much that I will go back and read the introduction to the character. That said, this book can easily be read as a standalone.
A tragedy in the delivery room -- a young couple loses their baby to what looks like medical malpractice by the obstetrician, Dr. Jessica Kensington. Although popular among her peers, Dr. Kensington has had more than one grieving family bring lawsuits against her. In addition, she has a really sketchy past and some creepy family history.
Camille Delaney takes this case despite misgivings --after all, dead baby cases do not have huge payout settlements from insurance companies. As she gathers all the pertinent information, she finds financial struggles and loss of her paralegal to a higher paying job with a big-name firm in downtown Seattle. But one shocking revelation after another tells Camille that she is on the right track to obtain some sort of justice despite the inequities of the system.
Thoroughly enjoyed the narrative and the characters. If you like a medical mystery based on unusual scenarios written by an author who is a nurse as well as a lawyer, you will like this book. I had no idea where this was going at first, but the resolution and wrap up were very satisfying. Definitely looking forward to continuing with a third installment.
Thank you to NetGalley and Girl Friday Books for this e-book ARC to read, review, and recommend.
This is the second in the series.
