#AD Book Review: The Practice Baby by LM Ardor

Set in Australia, General Practitioner Dee Flanary risks her career by investigating the death of her life long patient, Tom, who has both Aspergers and is an asthmatic, despite the police and coroner dismissing her concerns of possible murder. She uncovers several tragic supposedly accidental deaths and a link to her own past.  The BMA are on the verge of taking away her license to practice labelling her psychotic. After the death of Tom’s naive young girl friend, Leah, she is forced to confront the cold blooded killer. 

An interesting thriller with a medical tilt. The premise of the book is great but there a few too many dead ends that draw the reader away from the main focus of her investigation. The killer’s motivation for the needed is a little weak and needed further expansion/development. The final confrontation was rather rushed compared to the rest of the book. 

I received this novel via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
