This was crap. Entertaining for the first portion and good at storyline buildup, but the overall plot was unfortunately deeply predictable. It’s in the damn title. I only finished reading to get the details of how because it was written with enough dialogue and matter-of-fact information presentation to make it easy.
Apart from the detailed information about hospital machinations and how much you’d have to suspend disbelief for someone who screwed up multiple surgeries in a hospital in such a short time to not be suspended, the fact that someone as smart as Noah and socially adept enough to maintain a girlfriend for 2 years refused to use his f*cking brain PISSED. ME. OFF. ‘Oh, my girlfriend moonlights for a variant of big pharma which I find morally questionable. It’s the hospital that must be stalking me?’ Goddamn, what a moron. That’s all I gotta say. Man, it’s like Cook never read a dime mystery novel in his life and shame on the author for making the character so unbelievably stupid.
On the other hand, the social commentary aspect is chilling. So, there is that. But that alone wouldn’t make this worth reading. It is probably the only takeaway I have from this novel, but there are so many better ways of conveying that particular point, I absolutely, unequivocally cannot endorse reading this. Ever.
