MY THOUGHTS AND BOOK REVIEW
Hooked! Suspenseful! A twist-filled medical psychological thriller that kept me at the edge of pondering till the end. Until Caleb Donaghy's unbelievable death on the table, the thirty-nine- year old Surgeon Dr. Anne Wiley never lost a patient since she finished her general surgery residency right after she moved to the cardiothoracic surgery department of Joseph Lister University Hospital in Chicago. Life in a hospital and surgeries of this type come with risk. But she recognized Caleb who died under the scalpel she was holding near his heart during surgery which made her tremble and gave weakness in her muscles. Anne had no regrets or no remorse, Donaghy was a monster who deserved to die. Why? Who was Caleb to Dr. Anne?
Why is a prosecutor after Dr. Anne.? The plotline gets twisted when Paula Fuselier from the State's Attorney's Office raises suspicion and questions about Anne's patient Mr. Caleb Donaghy's death. I as a reader resented the character Paula as she was full of envy, frustration, anger, and lusting after Dr. Anne's husband Mayor Derreck for power and wealth. Dr. Anne is looking for answers as she called herself -A killer.
Leslie Wolfe told the story without giving away the suspense and twists in the storyline which kept me engrossed and curious. Thanks to Leslie Wolfe, NetGalley, and Bookouture Publishers for an advance copy for my honest review.

BOOK COVER: Trusted surgeon. Loving wife. Murderer?
Before my world came crashing down, I had it all. The successful career I dreamed of. The beautiful red-brick home where I could relax in front of the fire. The handsome, devoted husband whose blue eyes and charming smile always made me feel safe.
As I call time of death, my voice is steady. My colleagues stand hushed around me, their eyes on me, confused, concerned.
I have never lost a patient until today.
My hands tremble inside their gloves. I slide down the cold tiled walls, my heart racing in my chest.
I have never hated a patient until today.
But what choice did I have, once I recognized him?
And what will I do to protect myself, if someone learns the truth?
A totally gripping psychological thriller that will have you racing through the pages, gasping for breath until the final jaw-dropping twist. If you love Freida McFadden, Shari Lapena and The Girl on the Train, you won’t be able to put this down.
