Excellent and riveting

Amazing story that made unexpected turns! Exactly what you want out of a murder/mystery. The medical aspect to it made it even better!

Lead character was spineless

I had zero connection with the lead character from page 1. He was unable and a wimp and as a result I could not invest

Look out for the final twist

Suitably thrilling. Will make a great film/tv series. Great 'gotcha' ending, well-read by both Louise Brealey and Jack Hawkins.
