This is definitely going to be a blockbuster. As Dr Nolan got kidnapped on his way home at the beginning, I know readers are all in on this suspenseful thriller and mystery book. The author did well to grab the attention of readers right from the first chapter. Kudos!

A doctor who likes solving mysteries sounds quite intriguing. I am curious to see what Dr. Nolan will discover about the death of his patient as there seems to be a coverup going on. This book sounds wonderful so congratulations on BOTD.

I love books that tackle real life issues and current events such as racism and covid. I also love the informative nature of the book. Medical information is part of my profession. Can't wait to read this. Congrats on BOTD.

The story talks about how Dr. Nolan who loves to solve a mystery becomes suspicious when the body of one of his patients fails to surface from an unexpected tragedy which makes him get into deeper trouble as he tiptoes around the law in pursuit of a few unsettling leads. The book contains great suspense and medical information was incorporated throughout the pages. Nice review.

Nicely written review that highlights the essential features of the book. The overall analysis is informative too from the highlighting of how the plot develops to some of the background that helped inform it, such as the authors medical background and understanding of race and Covid elements. Thanks for an informative review.

I sampled the book before reading your review, and the feelings I got from the book were completely different. I appreciate this since the book is relatively short, and it shows that there is constant development in both the plot and characters throughout the story. I am excited to finish reading the book. However, I sympathize with your frustration when you can't easily figure out the order of a series. Thank you for a great review!

Your opinions about this book are really helpful. Dr. Sean Nolan's mystery solving adventures should be interesting, given its nature, and the medical insights incorporated into it should also greatly inform the readers about certain medical conditions. The suspense in the book should lighten the readers'mood.

This seems like an interesting book. Having a book that talks about what we all went through
during the COVID era. I also love the medical information addressed in this book.
