AWESOME

This book was such a joy to read. I am one who normally does not like to read, when a friend recommended this book i blew it off because well, i have better stuff to do. Finally my friend made me read it, and i can say i should have read it much sooner! The twists the suspense, i would read it again, but sadly for me i know the end. I have to go get more of my friends to read this book so we can talk about it! I sure there is a second book coming soon, i really do.

This is a most fascinating and well plotted tale written by a caring physician.

Mela Barrows Bennett is a family practice and emergency medicine physician. She has experience in administration as president of the medical staff and director of emergency medicine at major hospitals. Dr. David Hunter decides to run for staff president of Green Valley Hospital, in part to try to block a merger being pushed by the hospital's seedy administrator, John Michael Davenport. Part of his reason for running, other than a desire to maintain the hospital's excellent level of service, is because Dr. George Bluestone, long-time trustee, encouraged him. But when Dr. Bluestone suddenly dies, David enlists help from a new lady friend in his life, pathologist Janis Saunders. The results of the post-mortem findings are vague and disquieting: "David paged through the reports. Normal liver tests, fair lipid profile, normal blood count, negative drug and alcohol screens...Then he saw. George's potassium level had been 2.4 (normal 3.5 to 4.5), and could have led to an irregular heart rate by itself, but the last page was the shocker. His dig level was 3.9 (desired 0.8 to 1.8)-highly toxic and particularly so in light of the low potassium. This deadly combination would be recognizable to a medical student. 'Meds?'" When a professional takes to mystery writing, it is sure to produce a highly entertaining and detailed story. It also turns out that Dr. Bennett is quite the romantic, so MURDER MAKES THE ROUNDS is liberally sprinkled with the emerging love story between David Hunter and Joyce Saunders. The docs are the good guys in this plot, and the nefarious background antics of the hospital's administrator to enrich himself and threaten the future make this story all too familiar in today's health care climate. MURDER MAKES THE ROUNDS is a well-plotted whodunit filled with believable characters just trying to get by in the frantic-paced world of health care. The all-encompassing world of medicine is well portrayed, as the doctors involved try to carve out a normal life for themselves. This is a most fascinating and well plotted tale written by a caring physician. Great job! Shelley Glodowski Senior Reviewer
