OD served best with wine!

In this medical suspense story, Dr. Emma Steele is today's modern woman. She's attempting to balance her career, a spoiled entitled teenager, an ex-husband that has a new family, and more human resources problems than she knows what to deal with in her new promotion. Lastly, she's trying to find a common denominator in the bizarre opioid deaths that plague her ER.

Emma is a workaholic, driven by both pride and guilt. She's paid dearly for her choices, and has no one to turn to. No one to confide in, or bounce idea's off of. Soon she finds herself caught in the sites of the prolific killer and the lies after stumbling across "too many co-incidences" I also adored how Rada Jones pairs her wine with her situations. I totally appreciated the pairing based on the day Emma was having!

Meghan Kelly, creatively executes all the damaged characters in this fascinating medical suspense story. From the regretful ex husband, the back stabbing colleagues, and the unappreciative teenage daughter that knows it all. In wine terms...she selected the right body and paired it very well with all her characters.

It’s a Thriller just like the title promises

I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this book so I just couldn’t stop listening. It’s packed full of intrigue and suspense with plenty of twist and turns to keep you guessing. Meghan Kelly did an amazing job with the narration, I don’t know how she managed to give all these characters a different voice and be able to switch back and forth so easily. Great book, loved the ending. Can’t wait for the next book

Medical Thriller with a bit of drama;)

To be honest the beginning of this book is a bit slow and underwhelming but once it picks up its pace you just can’t stop listening. I have a background in the medical world and found this to be really intriguing. The twists and plots surrounding Dr Steele take what she believes to be a lonely boring existence to the high heights of a soap opera. She never would have thought her life could go in this direction allowing her to better her relations and forge new ones. I was really rooting for her at the end and am extremely happy with how it ended and I want more. Meghan Kelly does a great job with the narration and giving life to this story.

Great story and narrator

A good start to the series
Set in a busy hospital the author did a great job making medical terminology understandable and realistic
Add a shady doctor and a junkie hitman and you got a very interesting story
Meghan does a nice job narrating
Looking forward to book 2
I received a free review audiobook and voluntarily left this review

this book was given to me for free for review

enjoyed listening to this book it's so realistic that I can relate too. Dr's giving out pain scripts and other Dr's fighting to stop them. young girls falling for drug dealers and selling drugs for them. murders and revenge.

This was good!!

Rada Jones MD wrote a good story of intrigue and mystery. The story of Emma Steele, an ER physician who does a little bit of sleuthing outside the ER on her own.

There’s a drug dealer in her ER and she is bound to find out who it is and bring them to justice. In the meantime, there are things happening in her home life, with her daughter, that have her feeling inadequate as a mother.

There are twists and turns you might not expect, and interpersonal relationships that make you go hmmmm. It’s a good book!!!

Thriller!

I usually don’t go for this type of story, but it was wonderful! Especially if you have worked in an ER as I have. Meghan Kelly was the one that brought it to life with her narration. I got chills when she did the character of Spider. What a thriller!

Overdose

This book will definitely have you wondering what is going on with everyone all the way until the end. I really enjoyed this book and was glad to see everything finally make sense in the end.
Narration was fantastic. With so many characters and so much going on, I feel Meghan did a great job.

Thrilling

A fast-paced medical thriller, with authentic ER action and crisp dialogue. Dr. Emma Steele, the protagonist, is competent, courageous and insecure, a fascinating and compelling character. The characters are complex and flawed, the plot suspenseful and well tied together in a totally believable way. The narration is colorful and the voices are distinct. This was an excellent audiobook. Looking forward to the sequel.
