This is book 15 in the Duncan Kinkaid/Gemma James series. In this book Duncan is on parental leave and Gemma has a temporary assignment as head of a murder investigation unit. Two similar murders with no apparent connection give rise to the theory that they may be serial murders. There are many twists and turns in the investigation that brings both James, Kinkaid and their sgts together to solve the case. I recommend this to those that like to follow mystery series of books with the same characters.

Great book, loved the writing, and the mystery about the murder of a boyfriend.

In Shock: My Journey from Death to Recovery and the Redemptive Power of Hope Book by Rana Awdish It is always an experience when we get the experience of living on the other side of the tracks. The author did an excellent job of expressing what her experience was like when she wore the robe of a patient instead of that of a doctor. She had the experience of lying in a hospital bed and watching and hearing the treatments that patients get from their medical team. She was able to experience the coldness, insensitivity, the mistakes, the delays, nasty attitudes and the attitude of being treated as a subject, as a bed #. She saw and heard, ego, self-satisfaction, received nonchalant attitudse from the medical team caring for her. This was an eye opener for her and made her determine in her heart that she would not display these attitudes in her practice.
