Review of Bless Your Heart
[Following is a volunteer review of "Bless Your Heart" by Susann Camus.]
For the past seven months, Dr. Norma Dunn has been conducting a blind study of 600 obese women in Greenville, North Carolina, to determine the effects of semaglutide on diabetic patients. When Dr. Dunn discovers discrepancies in her research data, she suspects someone has been sabotaging her study. She contacts her best friend, Dr. Beatrix Bach, in Canada, seeking help to discover if her work has been tampered with. Dr. Bach sends Dr. Jeannie Johal to Greenville to analyze the data. Returning from lunch on her first day of work, Jeannie discovers Dr. Dunn has died outside her office door. How did Dr. Dunn die? Why was Dr. Dunn murdered? Does her murder have anything to do with the murder at the nearby detention center the day before?
Bless Your Heart: A Jeannie Johal Thriller by Susann Camus is a crime thriller that covers many topics, including corruption, racism, immigration, dangers of Internet platforms, gun rights, poisonous plants, obesity, and stereotyping. Susann Camus did an excellent job demonstrating that many factors outside a person's control can cause obesity. To name a few, genetics, healthy food availability, and financial status can affect your weight. I could relate to the small-town environment where everyone knew and helped each other, but there was no privacy. The author's descriptive writing style allowed me to visualize the arboretum's beautiful flowers while learning the differences between poisonous and non-poisonous plants. The author's information about the Moms for Liberty and the Proud Patriots intrigued me.
I disliked nothing about this professionally edited book, as the well-written plot flows smoothly while Officers Harmony and Henry investigate multiple crimes simultaneously. The suspense and mystery continued throughout the book, which made it difficult for me to solve the crimes. In my opinion, keeping a reader engrossed in the storyline by not knowing who the guilty party is until the end is what a good mystery and crime thriller does. I found no reason not to give this book a perfect score of 5 out of 5 stars.
If you enjoy mysteries and crime thrillers, this book is for you. However, it does contain non-borderline profanity, which some readers may find offensive. There is some mild religious content, but nothing preaches any particular belief or non-belief. Although this book is the second in the series, you do not need to read the first one before this one.

Bless Your Heart offers a satisfying blend of thoughtful medical intrigue and atmospheric mystery—anchored by a smart, resourceful heroine navigating a Southern town full of hidden dangers. It portrays realistic views of medical research stakes, strong atmospheric tension ,but fast-paced. It creates such eerie dynamics abd situations that represent our “thriller” part of mind.
