About this listen

It was supposed to be a place of healing - a place where doctors and nurses dedicated their lives to helping the sick and injured. Nobody wants to imagine a massacre at a hospital.

So at Newton Memorial, staff and patients are left frightened and stunned after the brutal shooting death of Dr. John Connor and an attending nurse. And when Dr. Jack Norris is asked by police to help with the investigation, he will stop at nothing to figure out how a peaceful patient was suddenly turned into the violent killer that took his best friend's life.

As an assistant under Dr. Ian Rupert, the hospital's research director, Dr. Connor could have had access to some secret information about groundbreaking drugs and procedures - knowledge possibly even worth killing or dying for. Could the patient that gunned down the doctor have known more than he let on?

In this captivating medical mystery, loyalties are tested and new frontiers of medical science are explored as hidden intentions come to light - and the truth behind a tragic killing is finally exposed.

What would have made First Do No Harm better?

This was the worst audible experience I've had. The story badly needed editing, it sounded like a poor academic paper (was this self published with no editorial input????). The narration was, if anything, even worse, very little characterisation, inflection or warmth. The reader/listener was left listening to a dry, monotonous voice. It;s a shame, this had all the makings of a super story a la Coma, but it just dragged. Even the, supposed, cliff hanger ending didn't make me want to get the next book.

Has First Do No Harm put you off other books in this genre?

Yes

How could the performance have been better?

Some characterisation so that we could tell who was talking or being talked about and some warmth.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from First Do No Harm?

All of it and started again.

Truly awful
