felinity 's review for:
Corridors of the Night
by Anne Perry
3.5 stars
Innovation and experimentation are how many scientific breakthroughs are made... but at what price? If you can save hundreds, thousands of lives, is it worth the life of an unwanted child? Can the ends ever justify the means?
One of the strengths of these books is that the characters are not two-dimensional, nor do they only see one side. The benefits are clearly seen, and understood, so it's the the emotional, moral and legal cost that must be weighed and taken into account when setting ethical standards.
Hester is the central figure here, as the nurse reminding the Rands of their obligations while caring for her patients, young and old alike, but her friends all have their part to play. It also seems that there's more of Monk's history to be unraveled, with just a tantalizing glimpse coming through.
Shorter than most of her books, it was still a gripping read, showing the ripple effect of actions and people over time.

The ending was not overly neat, but grittily, dirtily real.Disclaimer: I received a free copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
