Doctor Alison Wilson has moved to a new seaside town from a
London hospital to take up the role of Medical Officer at failing hospital
Saint Margaret’s.
Tasked with shaking things up, she quickly learns
that things are worse than they initially seem: patient records are in
disarray, staff morale is low, and there’s something afoot that she can’t quite
put her finger on…
As Alison starts to dig into the hospital’s past,
she gradually discovers a trail of lies that runs deeper and darker than she
could have ever imagined.
I absolutely raced through this book and really enjoyed it
until it got close to the end. There felt to me like a few things were put into
the book but were never explained – exactly why Alison left London, it was
hinted out that there was more to the story, and that we would find out later
but we never did. Also Ed, the ex husband seemed to know a lot of what was
going on, and I felt there was more to that story line, but again it was never
explained. I wasn’t sure how the truth would all come out at the end, and that
felt like quite a rush within the last chapter.
Saying all that, the pages appeared to turn by themselves
when I was reading this as I wanted to know more and more and I was constantly
thinking “is it you?” to almost every character. Very enjoyable with just a few
flaws for me personally but don’t let that put you off!
