katiebug995 's review for:
The Surgeon
by Tess Gerritsen
DID NOT FINISH: 40%
Unlikable main characters. Extremely misogynistic. Disrespectful to rape victims.
Although the premise was very interesting and I was intrigued by the medical focus, I decided not to finish this book.
First, the rape victims and topic of rape are written about terribly. For example, one character who is supposed to be on the victims’ sides says that the rape victims permanently belong to the rapist forever after the attack.
Secondly, althoughDetective Moore is supposed to be the “good guy” cop, he has feelings for the traumatized rape/attempted murder victim of an ongoing investigation. I assumed this would be called out later in the book as creepy and extremely unprofessional- however Moore and Catherine married at the end of the book.
I have better things to do than continue to read this.
