The advance reviews for “The Surgeon” were so good that I was excited to get approved for the ALC! Unfortunately, the narration was not great (for me) so that was a hurdle from the starting gate. The blurb was also a bit misleading as the surgeon’s patient was already dead on the table when she first recognized who he was. It diluted the whole premise of the book when there was no “did she or didn’t she” tension to follow. I have to admit that I also struggled with the plot and characters as the first half was so repetitive and every character was unsympathetic for the reader. It made me less invested once the twists started coming in the second half. I do have to admit though that a few of those twists almost made it worthwhile! This was my first book by Leslie Wolfe but I’ll still give another one a try.

Depois de dois dias a ler este livro posso, com toda a certeza, dizer que é um dos piores livros que li este ano. As personagens principais eram todas detestáveis ( a cirurgiã que passava o tempo todo a chorar pelos seus problemas mas depois era completamente passiva e parecia não ter cabeça própria, a detetive que precisa de um pouco mais de amor e respeito próprio em vez de passar tanto tempo a chorar pelo marido das outras e, Derreck, o marido egoísta que tem que ser um dos homens mais desprezáveis de sempre), as personagens secundárias ( incluindo a Melanie) eram bidimensionais, o livro arrastou-se desnecessariamente (poderia ter resolvido bastante rapidamente se a doutora visse as câmaras de segurança logo no inicio) e nenhum dos plot twist me deixou impressionada. A única coisa boa deste livro é que é rápido de ler. Não o recomendaria a ningém
I found that kind of painful.
These psycho thriller books, at least the ones I’ve been trying, have slight ideas of anti-feminism.
Definitely not my favorite.
