The author of this book did quite an amazing job, and the book is suspenseful. Dr. Nolan is one doctor that puts his patient's interest above other things. Carried out more investigations even after the report the police gave him. Congrats on your BOTD.

This book, Contrived,
sounds exciting as it begins with a car crash and a missing body from the crash! The story would grab my interest from the beginning.

As a cast of characters come into the story to solve the mystery of the crash and the missing body, it sounds like a fast paced ride.

Also fascinating is the inclusion of medical facts as the person investigating is a doctor.

Really not my cup of tea, even though I can understand why so many say that book is very interesting to read, to me setting kills any entertainment. Patients of any medical institution are already extremely vulnerable, thereby making them victims of cruelty is a bit too much for my sensibilities. Anyway, congrats with BOTD!

 This sounds like a wonderful novel, and having just read the first chapter, it is going on my book shelf for sure! Dr. Nolan seems like a very complex and interesting character. I'm quite picky when it comes to reading books in a series in order though, so I won't be reading this one just yet. I really enjoyed your review.

I have read one of the other books in this series and enjoyed it. This BOTD promises to hold the same exciting plot and I like how this series makes each book capable of being a standalone. Great review.

The review is very well-put. The revewer seemed very enthusiastic about the book. The summary was proper without any spoilers and it was provoking as well, leading a reader on to read the book. The review ignited a spark of interest within me and I loved that it was mentioned that the book also carried a little humor with it to make the story more enjoyable. I appreciate both the reviewer's and the author's work.

I commend the author for incorporating his medical experiences to make any medical information mentioned in the book, authentic. Also, I find it intriguing that Dr. Nolan is a medical expert investigating a murder. Thank you for your review!

I like the suspenseful opening scene and the interaction between the characters. The first chapter begins with a seemingly ordinary man running his ordinary medical office, and then adds suspense right at the end of the chapter.

The book has a suspenseful opening scene that draws readers in and features Dr. Sean Nolan as the lead in a Mystery. the author Introduces familiar characters with whom Sean has a sense of camaraderie and respect, and each character has a unique skill set that is essential to gathering clues. I found this review very informative and because of the review, I would love to read this book.

Thank you for your in-depth preview. I do enjoy a good mystery to get my teeth into! especially one that shows factual accuracy, with the authors' medical knowledge this could be the series for me. after reading your book analysis, I may have to give this one a go!

I’m looking forward to digging into this novel to find out how Dr. Sean Nolan solves the mystery of his patients death amid the danger as he investigates. I like mystery and suspense novels and this one seems right up my alley. I always guess who the culprit is in every mystery book I read before it ends and I’m excited to do it again on this one.

I like novels that have a mystery to solve. The ones in this series of Dr. Sean Nolan look intriguing. It is striking that some characters have a connection to Nolan from previous mysteries already solved. The touch of humor and suspense is also attractive.

I love that the author combined recent medical events like COVID-19 into the plot. Dr. Nolan doesn't appear to be a clueless person; rather, he seems to be calculated and intelligent when it comes to problem solving and critical thinking. Thanks for the review!
