My review:

Chloe & fiance, Elton, move together to Portland for nursing jobs in the same hospital. It just so happens that her ex husband, Jameson, is a doctor on staff there. It’s been a few years since she left him a note saying they were over. Will they be able to work together again when they each hold secrets about their past?

A high number of patients are dying soon after they’ve signed a DNR. Could there be a serial killer on the loose or are these deaths just a coincidence?

Love me a nice medical serial killer thriller and this one fits the bill. The conclusion is not shocking really, but it’s super fast paced, engaging and well written. Give this author a try if you haven’t already.

Side note ~ I found it odd that Chloe changed her last name before they were married.

I was able to listen to a copy as well.
Narration notes:
They both did a perfect job.

Book blurb:

I finally have everything I’ve ever wanted: a career saving lives, my dream home among the pines, and my caring fiancé, Elton. He doesn’t know about my past. And I’ll do anything to keep it that way…

I’m so excited for my life with Elton—we’ve even discussed which room would make the perfect nursery. And we’re working together in our new jobs in the ICU at Portland General hospital.

But when I walk in on my first day, I see my ex-husband Jameson. His familiar broad shoulders are unmistakable in his white doctor’s coat. The shock knocks the air from my lungs.

I’m thrown back to the moment Jameson and I gathered around that hospital bed as the steady beeping on the monitor slowed.

We did something unforgivable that day.
And for the first time, I saw who Jameson truly was.
The truth scared me more than I can explain.
So I ran.

If Jameson tells Elton what I did, I’ll lose everything. Will he destroy my new, perfect life? Is he still a danger to the innocent patients all around us? And how far will I have to go to stop him?

The Good Doctor is a totally twisty, rollercoaster ride of a psychological thriller that will have you glued to the pages late into the night. Fans of Freida McFadden, My Lovely Wife and The Couple Next Door will love it!
