Malice by Jennifer Jaynes

Good plot but I was kinda left hanging at the end
Based on the reviews and synopis of the book, I had imagined that this was a thriller but it was slightly disappointing. The storyline was great and I was kept reading into the night but I felt that the loose ends in the book need be tied. Perhaps it was the intention of the author to leave readers pondering but to me, the 'loose end' is just too loose.
The plot was great throughout the book - the horrors of what the pharmaceutical industry does, the ethical dilemmas of doctors, the trust of patients have on them, the poor victims, etc - kept me reading. I truly felt for the mother of the boy who died for just trusting her doctor on what's good for her son.
I felt for the 'helplessness' of the doctor too, although I felt that the plot would have been better if the role was developed further (ie he did more than just sit back and get killed). And so, for the wife who is on the run, what could she have done more? Some inkling on what would happen to the others would be good.
