Judging only by the back cover, I'd skip it without giving it much thought. But this is part of a series (The Adversary Cycle) and after reading the first two novels, I just couldn't skip this one, could I?

It's a rather fast paced read. It took me a day (and I did a lot of other things that day as well). The story tells of a doctor who mysteriously gains the power to heal people by simply touching them. Of course this ability comes with a price...

There are some loose ends (or if they're supposed to be like spicy side orders), but overall it's a nice and sometimes even heartfelt little drama. Written as from a manual, as were the other two books in the series, but still highly enjoyable and equally forgettable. I might read the fourth book next summer.
