Book Review: "The Surgeon" By Leslie Wolfe

 


Shocking! Dynamic! Powerful!

Leslie Wolfe brings it all together with this 'in your face' style that produces a 'home-run' in the thriller arena!

When Dr. Anne Wiley steps on board as the cardio surgeon we learn that she's recently lost a patient. She's devastated or is she? Was it personal? Did she call 'death' early? Did she do everything in her power as a surgeon to save life?

Well, lets just say this -Karma- is knocking on the doorstep after losing her FOSTER sister -Melanie.
There's a reason why to capitalize the word, "Foster" because in this case it means all the difference to both families as they share the incomprehensible burden and pain of loss.

Dr. Anne Wiley now has to prove her decision was the right decision by the ruling body that oversees the hospitals actions. Will she be found competent and will she be granted another day?

Paula Fuselier is now on this case because she's possessing a valuable asset- Anne's spouse- whom she's having an affair with while he's an attorney.. mind you.

Surely, he'll has his wife's back and go to boot for her, right Derreck? Or, will this 7 month long affair seal that deal of loyalty till the end in love and war?

Ahh, the tension builds as readers are led on this maze of emotions from hostility, to anger, to deep seeded revenge and so much more.

The ending was powerful and it makes one wonder just how devoted should one couple be when the other is unfaithful?

As this plays out we've also had to face the truth of another situation and twister that plays out involving a young boy at 11yo named Simon Degnan who was shot to prevent testimony? Testimony that could incriminate and put a man named Vicente Espinoza behind bars.

Now, all of this comes to fruition because who wants to run for Mayor with all of this coming to a boil? Right-Derreck?

Well, it seems to be time to face the truth and process the past before it catches up to the present in this heart pounding gem!

Thank you to Leslie Wolfe, Bookouture, and Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
