About this listen

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 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 pause this.

The narration depicting the surgeon was of a subservient, dependent personality. Good story line overall

‘The Surgeon’ by Leslie Wolfe is a medical/crime thriller that proved to be a highly engaging read that worked well in an audiobook format.

As with most crime and psychological thrillers, I read it ‘cold’ in order to avoid spoilers. However, I will confirm that the Audible description provides a good summary.

With respect to the audiobook, Gwendolyn Druyor has served as narrator on almost 300 titles, including a number by Leslie Wolfe. I felt that she did a good job with this audiobook and I enjoyed the contrast between those chapters told from the viewpoints of its two main characters: Anne and Paula. A change of tone and inflection differentiated between Anne’s sense of service and dedication versus Paula’s nastiness and ambition.

Overall, I found ‘The Surgeon’ a gripping thriller with plenty of twists and turns. It was the kind of book that I found almost impossible to put down and was grateful that listening as an audiobook I didn’t have to.

I probably would have given up on this book had I not been recommended it by a friend who had physically read it.
The narration is probably the worst I’ve ever heard and I have 550 + books in my library. As it is I carried on until the end wasn’t blown away too much repetition and unnecessary filling but it had a decent twist at the end.

Mediocre story poor narration

almost unlistenable... I should have listened to the sample... I wouldn't have wasted a credit.

Dreadful narration

Although the book took a little while to get into, once I was it was very enjoyable to listen to.
Very well narrated and written. I'm going to listen to more by this new, to me, author.

Great ending, I didn't see that coming!!
