Suture Self

De: Mary Daheim

Narrado por: Anna Fields

Mary Daheim's wonderful world of Hillside Manor is zany, engrossing, and positively addicting!

In Suture Self, Judith McMonigle Flynn is scheduled for a hip replacement. Instead of looking ahead to her new mobility, she's worried. "Routine surgery" recently cost a local actress and a star baseball pitcher their lives. Though Judith smells malice, she successfully survives her operation - but another patient isn't so lucky.

Stuck in this chamber of Hippocratic horrors, Judith feels compelled to get to the bottom of what could be the worst malpractice case ever recorded...or perhaps something much more sinister. The worst diagnosis of all is the one that suggests Judith's curiosity is terminal...and that a killer is saving a last lethal dose of medicine for her.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Anna Fields performs a top-notch interpretation; she presents this quirky tale with precise yet soothing diction that immerses the listener in the events." ( AudioFile)

Fun Cozy

I’ve read the entire series and it was fun to hear and meet the characters in this audible telling. Some of the characters are a little silly and the story is farfetched but fun none the less.

A very nice surprise

I wasn't sure I would like this book because of the title. This is my first Mary Daheim book.. Even after reading the intro, I was still ambivalent. Anna Fields took some getting used to as well. But the characters, plot and voice grew on me and I enjoyed listening to the antics of Judith Flynn and her family.

Loved that so much happened with the main characters staying in one room throughout! Great cozy feel and a favorite relisten!

Got tired of the all the food descriptions. Renee’s demands were a little over the top

Hospitals can be dangerous.

The story seemed to be longer than the winter storm it took place in and the medical procedures seemed a bit dated but the mystery is had lots of red herrings and a logical conclusion.

Exceptional Mystery

as usual, Mary Dsiheim charms and teases her fans with witty humor and suspense.
Knowing how often she adds bits of truth to her stories, I wonder how much Mary's real life dear cousin resembles Rennie.
Of course, like all her far fetched tall tales, this is a work of fiction from Mary Daiheim's ripe imagination and wit.
Enjoy.
