Very entertaining

I enjoyed this right from page one. It was like reading a book about a superhero!

Last Patient of the Night

I enjoyed the book’s story, its humor, its characters and its ending. I can see a sequel to Doc and his intelligence & observations. Good job!

A good solid start to this series.

I found this book to be a surprisingly solid story. And even though I don't go out of my way to read mysteries much anymore I liked it. It won me over because of Banshee, the dog! And you cannot believe what a soft heart I have when it comes to animals being hurt! (I want to magic the pain away.) Anyway this is the story where an ER Doctor can't let a patient go, even after her death! And Doc sticks his nose into her business... and boy does he get dirty. I'm purdy sure I'll continue into the next book too...

Here's a quote for y'all:

"James Bond may have had Q, but I had Amazon."

Healthcare and mystery

I think the voice was too old for the main character. I think the main character should be a younger voice who can show off the character better.

Exciting book

Couldn't stop listening! Great story! Loved all the characters, especially Banshee, Tom and the hospital staff. Comedic relief was great.
