The medical intrique part was well done and not too predictable. I had a whole other theory of what happened and "who done it". However, the book was way too long. The main medical mystery did not have enough separate events - just one OR event and the rest was her emotional state and all the legal ramifications.
All of the sub-plots involving her dad and her sister added nothing and could have been left out. There were no new medical incidents to build the tension. Certainly not a page turner.

Great read. Unexpected twists and turns. Nothing predictable here. A story about a little girl who dies on the operating table and all of the people this affects.

I liked this book. It was about an anesthesiologist and the author is one. It is a combition of her career and a little bit of a mystery. It was well written and flowed smoothly. I enjoyed it and I think anyone would.

Initally, I liked this book, but it seemed to stall once I got past the beginning. The ending wrapped things up a little too neatly for it to be believeable as well.
