ADRENALINE: Murder is the ultimate rush. When patients start dying unexpectedly in the O.R. at Mercy Hospital, anesthesiologist Doug Landry finds himself the focus of the blame. Is he really incompetent or is there something more sinister going on? As Doug struggles to clear his name and unravel the secret of the mysterious deaths, it becomes clear that someone will stop at nothing to keep him from exposing the devastating truth. Doug becomes trapped in a grisly race against time to prevent more deaths--including his own. From the boardroom to the recovery room to the thrilling climax in the operating room, Adrenaline is a heart-pounding, adrenaline rush of suspense, action and intrigue in an extremely realistic setting. If you like the novels of Robin Cook and Tess Gerritsen, Adrenaline will leave you breathless.

This is a great listen! I enjoyed it right to the end.

I wasn’t expecting much as I had not listened to a Virtual Voice presentation before. BUT…I was pleasantly surprised. I thoroughly enjoyed it & actually it sounded like a human speaking. Great story. Great listen.

Great Medical Murder Mystery

It's been a long time since I've read/listened to a medical mystery story. I loved reading Robin Cook's books. I really enjoyed this one, and I'll enjoy getting into the rest of this writer's books. The protagonist is very human and relatable.

I learned a lot. This is written from the perspective of an anesthesiologist doctor. I knew they're responsible for keeping you alive in surgery, but this book really drove it home! An anesthesiologist has to know how to mix chemicals and gases for the right cocktail for that individual and that type of sedation or nerve block needed. it sounds very complicated.

Kudos to this writer for being descriptive so that the reader was able to visualize the O.R. and equipment used. Also, the characters were well fleshed out and the reader could sympathize with their emotions and strife.

The ONLY reason I scored the Performance as a 3 star (it should be a 1 star, but that reduces the overall book score too low), is because AI is the narrator.

Gripping thriller with medical accuracy

This novel brought to light the political nature of anesthesia departments with pressure from surgeons and administrators trying to improve the bottom line but with no skin in the game for patient outcomes. The medical aspects are accurate and the plot engaging. Good job! Write some more! —Tony Scott, MD

AI narration detracted from the storyline.

The AI narrator had a pleasant enough voice, but the pronunciation was terrible. Also, the cadence and syntax was off. It really detracted from the story.

The missed pronunciation was apparent throughout this book.

Maybe a medical person should listen before putting this book on audible. Mispronunciation was very annoying.
