Where Death Is a Hunter by Christopher Stookey
3.0
An exciting medical murder mystery. Hannah, an anesthesiologist, at first appears to be responsible for the death of a patient during a routine procedure, but as time goes on it becomes clear something more complicated is going on.
This was quick and suspenseful and surprisingly easy to read despite the setting, which could easily lend itself to crammed with medical jargon. The action starts immediately and the main character is a believable, likable character, easy to root for and sympathize with. I really liked the plot, the way the story developed, and was ultimately resolved, however I think too much time was spent explaining the conclusion. It was like that scene in a movie where the bad guy stops from killing the good guy to explain all of his motivations and exactly how and why he did everything he did. It felt unnecessary and a little unbelievable. But the story overall was clearly thought out and everything fit together well, making it a thrilling read.
