My New Favorite Genre - Medical Murder Mystery

Revisado: 05-09-16

Where does First Do No Harm rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I would rank this book very high on my list. It is a relatively quick read (listen) but that time is spent in near constant suspense. I've always enjoyed a good mystery and, although I don't watch a lot of TV, I do like medical dramas. This book expertly combined the two. The underlying, devious criminal plot in this book is something I would have never imagined but seems medically plausible and not all that far-fetched. This book has a lot of action and the characters feel fully developed. I would highly recommend this book.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Dr. Jack Norris of course. Who wouldn't want to be a brilliant, popular MD with a beautiful and loving wife? Dr. Jack conveys power without arrogance and is a very likeable character due to his compassion for those around him. It's easy to cheer for this guy. I like his witty dialogue with his colleagues, friends, and especially his spouse.

What about Duane Berg’s performance did you like?

I enjoyed the fact that he was able to bring emotion to the role without going overboard like so many audiobook performers. Good performances like this occur when the reader brings range and excitement to the passage without overwhelming the words on the page. Not an easy thing to do but I did feel Mr. Berg hit the mark here.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Sometimes Bad Medicine Can Be Sinister . . .

Any additional comments?

Great book. Looking forward to reading (or listening to) what's next from Dr. L. Jan Eira.
