Customer Reviews

Item: Fatal Diagnosis by Echo Heron

I really like Echo Heron's books! In fact, I have other books which Echo has written: Intensive Care, Condition Critical, Mercy, and these latest two additions: Fatal Diagnosis/Pulse! Echo Heron speaks straight from the heart about her career as a nurse and it really comes through in the novels which she's written!

Never A Dull Moment

Americans who have had surgery overseas are returning to the U.S. and suffering complications. Some are turning up murdered. When nurse Adele Monsarrat gets wind of this trend, she begins to investigate and ends up right in the middle of things (as usual) and in danger herself. Heron manages to weave irresistible humor into even the most dire of circumstances. I love the antics of Nelson, the vegetarian Labrador Retriever. When he meets Helen, the deaf and blind cat, for the first time, it is absolutely hysterical. I have enjoyed several of Heron's other books and she just keeps getting better and better. A thoroughly engrossing and delightful read. The only question is, why isn't the publisher promoting Heron's books more vigorously? Her books belong on all the bestseller lists.

Adele Monsarrat Returns

Fatal Diagnosis by Echo Heron: Adele Monsarrat returns in "Fatal Diagnosis". As always, the author carefully develops the suspense and you will have no choice but to become riveted as the plot unfolds before you. I liked it and am looking forward to more in the series.

mystery review

a real thriller which makes you think that what is going to happen next????

Super book!

Anyone who enjoys reading medical mysteries, and especially those who've enjoyed the previous installments of the Adele Monsarrat series, will enjoy this book. The characters, especially Adele, Tim and Cynthia, continue to develop in this page-turner!
