Review of The Covid Murders

[Cheryl Erickson]

Living through these years of the pandemic has been very difficult for me. Although I would not choose to read a fictional book about it, it appears to have well-developed characters and an engaging plot that may interest other readers. The book review was informative and nicely written.

The Covid Murders is an outstanding combination of a medical mystery and social satire. The novelist uses herself as an example, and the issue of healthcare policy is explored through her healthcare and policy development background.

Speaking as a healthcare provider, I must say that the events depicted in this book resonated with me completely. The impact of COVID-19 on hospital service delivery is presented in a way that closely mirrors reality. The story of Thomas Baker reflects the experiences of countless healthcare workers globally. Additionally, this book's engaging storyline, as highlighted in this review, has piqued my interest!

The story is exciting and makes us think about how healthcare policies affect people and the morals of handling emergencies. It reminds us of how important our health is and how crucial good healthcare systems are. Congrats on winning Book of the Day! I like characters who care about everyone's well-being.

“The Covid Murders” by Greg Vigdor is a story about the financial consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. I really like the proverb “The Health of the people is the wealth of the nation” since I look around the world and see that the countries led by dictators are not in the list of healthiest nations. No need to wonder why, since there is a strong connection between well-being of the people and its economic growth. Look at Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, other former soviet countries and several countries in South America and one can see the average citizen is not prospering while the leaders have most of the land and money. The pandemic negatively affected every country in the world due to premature deaths, lower productivity and people afraid to go to their workplace because of fear of infection. The supply chain issues drove up inflation throughout the world and many countries have not yet recovered. This book starts with the sudden death of a prominent attorney in Nashville and the cause of death may have been the anesthesia used during surgery. Jason Stroud, the young acting CEO of Prosperity Hospital is thrust into a challenging situation since he wants to be sure other patients do not die as the result of medical staff errors. The Hospital board is more concerned about protecting the hospital’s reputation while Jason feels a complete investigation should be conducted. This led to the State of Tennessee inspection of the hospital’s licensing. One needs to read the book to learn what happens. Jason’s mentor Irv Tinsley became an activist that led to many changes in hospital practices in Tennessee. One has to wonder how many people died from COVID-19 in the U.S. due to poor decision making by the president and his staff. A well-written book with a very good official review.

This book sounds like a riveting medical/political thriller with some outstanding characters. Thanks for the awesome review!

[Huini Hellen]

I like how Greg premised this storyline to begin with the death of a VIP, showing the bias that exists in the healthcare industry, where serious post-incident analysis are conducted after a "very important" person's demise. Thank you for thorough honest review.

The novel sounds intense! Irv Tinsley seems like a real hero, fighting for better healthcare. His determination to uncover the truth and improve the system is admirable. I bet his character is super inspiring and makes you want to make a positive impact too.

Crime, murder, medical events and detecting are all present in "The Covid Murders" by Greg Vigdor. There are economic and ethical evaluations in the story also. There are many likable characters and great reasons to like the characters in this mystery. There may also be reasons to cut corners and do underhanded deeds hoping to not be discovered. Covid was an insistent intruder in the lives of most of the world but it should not have ever stopped good people from caring that justice is carried out. Another great review from the Online Book Club states that this one is a definite page turner!
