About this listen

Dr. Ben Merrick and his fiancé, Rachel Gardner, can't get her divorced parents to stay in the same room, much less attend their wedding together. He is already looking over his shoulder expecting more trouble from a very senior surgeon who has shown he is still smarting from a previous dust-up, but Ben doesn't know if a series of mishaps and accidents are caused by a disgruntled patient's relatives or represent more from the older surgeon. Complicating it all is the question of whether Rachel's father is back doing drugs. Then, when people start dying, Ben and Rachel wonder if they can escape unscathed - and alive.

This is the second book I’ve listened to from Richard and it’s just as enjoyable as the other. These books are standalone with no character or story crossover so they’re easy to pick up.
I never really felt the tension from this book and the jeopardy felt a little forced with the character’s reaction to it all a little blasé.
I enjoyed Bill’s narration and he makes the story really easy to listen to.
This is my honest opinion on a free review copy.

Their wedding day rapidly approaching, clouds began to move in to obscure the sunshine of the hope of that perfect day for Dr.Ben Merrick and his bride to be, Rachel. Ben's professional life is being threatened by the unwelcome attentions of a senior colleague whilst nurse Rachel's mother is refusing to attend the marriage ceremony if her divorced father is also present. But far worse is still to come.

Narrator, Bi!l Nevitt breathes life into this short novella as he gives separate voice to each of the protagonists. Conversation was good, with a naturalistic feel, but the characters of individuals in the story never really develop. Rather than being a mystery, it felt more like an episode of a TV.medical drama, with added prayer. My thanks to the rights holder of Surgeon's Choice, who freely gifted me with a complimentary copy at my request. It was surprisingly enjoyable but lacking in emotion

This is a easy listen with great characters and a few surprises and twists that keeps it interesting. The story developed a little slow for me but overall not too bad.
I can recommend this book for Christian readers / listeners that wants a mystery with a hospital/ small community theme with no unnecessary bad language, violence or sexual content.
I enjoyed this story as light entertainment.

This is a great mystery, if you are short of time. A lot happens in the short amount of time and some of it unexpected making it an interesting story.
Ben is busy planning his wedding and at the same time working with his fiance at the local hospital. but with the number of drugs hitting the streets it's not long before people start dying and one of them is Rachel's father. As the police start an investigation strange things start happening at the hospital, doctors go missing, another is killed and a few are involved in car accidents but are the things connected or is it connected to Ben himself and a previous medical case he worked on.
I liked the narrator as you can tell which character is talking and he is easy to listen too.

It's your choice to listen but I say yes
