Book nine of the box set I have sees Kate going undercover at a private hospital on behalf of a wife who believes her surgeon husband was murdered.

This crime drama certainly was a web of deceit and lies. Though determined to find out the truth, Kate doesn't make the best choices and danger lurks.

There were twists and disturbing moments and all the characters suited the plot.

Well-written and engaging.

This book was ok. The character is not well written and I thought that the editing of the plot could be better. I am not sure if I would recommend this book to friends or colleagues.

Lively, byzantine, a little unlikely but written with the customary verve and compassion.
