Surgeon's Choice, by Richard L. Mabry, MD (author), Bill Nevitt (narrator)

Richard L. Mabry, MD, March 2018

Dr. Ben Merrick and his fiancé, Rachel Gardner, a nurse at the same hospital where Ben is a surgeon, are planning their wedding, and a bit frustrated by the fact that her mother won't attend if her father is there.

Yet Ben is having other problems. A more senior surgeon is trying to make trouble for him at the hospital, get him put under pretty restrictive supervision. That's been unsuccessful, but there have also been numerous, small, annoying, potentially dangerous incidents which are starting to seem to be not mere coincidence.

Then Rachel's father, Bill Gardner, is found dead of a drug overdose. An anesthesiologist Ben worked with often is found shot dead in his own home. The police think both deaths might be connected to a drug ring they're trying to crack.

It's disturbing and alarming, and both Rachel and Ben are potential suspects.

The characters are well-drawn, the plot moves, and there are enough twists and turns in this novella to keep the story interesting and engaging.

Recommended.

I received a free copy of this audiobook from the narrator, and am reviewing it voluntarily.
