Publisher's summary

Becoming a hired killer was not in Robert Madigan’s plan when he began his medical career at The University of Pennsylvania in 1935. He had pledged to help save lives, not take them. But finding himself thrust into a desperate situation after his father’s death left his mother and younger siblings with no financial support, he accepts a sinister offer to become a hitman for Gavin Noel, a man he meets through one of the medical school professors. To help carry out the murderous plot, Madigan enlists the help of his friends, Samuel Moore, an aspiring medical doctor, and Clark Magnusson, who’s studying to become a psychologist. Together they carefully craft a diabolical plan to do away with the victims their employer has chosen. Like an actor preparing for the movie role of a lifetime, Madigan begins to assume the personality of a twisted alter ego, tweaking their plan to allow the victims a choice in their own demise - death by bullet or by lethal injection.

“The Good Doctors”, as the friends call themselves, began their career paths intending to use their talents for good, but let desperation and greed cloud their vision and take over. They even seem proud of their ability to carry out this bizarre assignment as they devise their plans. But Robert is plunged into a world of criminals, betrayal, and powerful men who consider themselves gods. There’s no turning back now, and Robert must find out who is worthy of his trust, and who is plotting to destroy everything he cares about.

Hippocratic Oath. Not.

Three friends/students training to become a doctor, a mortician, and a psychiatrist are offered a deal by a professor to kill people. Morality gets set aside until it can no longer be ignored. Interesting concept, okay listen. Narrator seemed flat.
I was given this as a free copy to post an honest review.

No doubt about it, Unquestionably GOOD!

Robert Madigan … a good doctor, at least that is what he aspires to be, until his father’s death leaves him with no way to pay tuition and finish medical school. When approached by Gavin Noel, and recruited to start a “Questionable Practice“ with two of his friends … he has no idea that this undoubtably questionable venture just might be the end of … everything! Brilliantly written with DEEP, throughly developed characters and a smooth flowing, decidedly dark noir feel, this story is unquestionably GOOD! In fact, it has me thinking and shivering STILL, twelve hours after finishing! I can’t get it, OR these fabulous characters … out … of … my … mind! And that final twist!!! No spoilers! I’ll not be ruining the mystery, the suspense, the surprise, or the fascination that is this fantastic story for future listeners. I went in cold. I didn’t even read the audible blurb on this one, I just downloaded based on a facebook post, hit play, and WOW! The writing is so good, so clear, so beautifully executed that I had no questions, no “huh” moments, just plenty of jaw dropping, edge of my recliner, “oh holy NO” shivery moments! Never, have I ever, listened to a book like this, and I loved every single fantastically narrated second! The voicing is so amazingly clear, so emotive, and moves the story along brilliantly, leaving no doubt what the characters are thinking, feeling, or planning, truly bringing the authors vision to stunning life! This thought provoking, powerhouse of a listen gets a truly deserving FIVE stars across ALL categories! I’m slack jawed! I loved it!

Well done

Great narration and story line. This was a fast paced thriller that really hooked me.
