Where Death is a Hunter

Disclaimer, disclaimer, disclaimer, I was given a copy of Where Death is a Hunter by Christopher Stookey in exchange for my honest review.

Where Death is a Hunter is a medical mystery/ thriller. I'll admit, not the usual genre I read, but I liked this book very much.

The book tells the story of an anesthesiologist accused of negligence resulting in the death of a surgery patient. Told from the POV of the accused, it is a taut well crafted story. I was surprised how quickly I finished the book. It held me from cover to cover, and I finished it in a day. Length is not criteria for me when choosing a book, as I have mostly unlimited time to devote to reading. But for some, reading time is more limited. Where Death is a Hunter will not devour large blocks of elusive reading time.

I did not realize that author Stookey is in fact a doctor until about half way through the book. Though full of medical jargon, Where Death is a Hunter is not so technical that it is hard to understand. Definitely not written just for medical types, easy to read with out feeling "dumbed down" or condescending.

I heartily recommend Mr. Stookey's book Where Death is a Hunter to fans of thrillers in general and medical mysteries in particular. Enjoy!
