Summary:

An ICU nurse accidentally uncovers a patient’s frightening past in this chilling thriller.

Meghan Michaels is trying to find balance between being a single mom to a teenage daughter and working as a full time nurse. While on duty at the hospital one day, a patient named Caitlin arrives in a coma with a traumatic brain injury, having jumped from a bridge and plunging over twenty feet to the train tracks below.

But when a witness comes forward with shocking details about the fall, it calls everything they know into question. Was Caitlin  pushed  and if so, by whom and why?

Meghan has always tried to stay emotionally detached from her patients, but this time, she mistakenly lets herself get too close until she’s deeply entangled in Caitlin’s and her family’s lives. Only when it’s too late, does she realize that she and her daughter could be the next victims.

 

My thoughts:

I have been a fan of Mary’s books ever since her debut, The Good Girl. She crafts such addicting, binge-worthy thrillers and this latest one is no exception! In fact, this just might be my new favorite one, or at least in top three…but they are all so good that you cannot go wrong picking up any of her books!

This book grabbed me from the get-go and once I started reading it, I was all in! I loved the characters, I loved the hospital setting and I loved how I was questioning EVERTHING! And then when we get to the end of part one – I literally gasped! I don’t know how she does it, but I definitely did not see that coming and had to stop and think about all I had read up to that point before continuing on – and then plowing on to finish the book in one sitting!

This book is so complex and brilliantly plotted and I’m so afraid of giving anything away. The structure is one that isn’t done often and yet works so well here…I can’t see it being pulled off any other way. This is the type of book that when you finish reading, you absolutely want to start reading again because it’s just that good and clever! I had the e-galley of it and went out and purchased the print copy on pub day so I could flip through the pages to see how I missed things…it really is such a fantastic, edge-of-your seat read that had me unsettled and guessing all the way through!

This is one book to definitely add to your reading list if it isn’t already on your radar! As I said, it just might be my new favorite of her books and I’ve read them all!
