The Last Days of Rabbit Hayes
by Anna McPartlin
The Last Days of Rabbit Hayes (7/7/2015)
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is a hearbreaking story told with wit and empathy. The characters are engaging and each one brings something to cherish as they say goodbye to Rabbit. There are no unspeakable people, just a circle of family and friends on an unchartered journey. There are lessons to be learned from this family's grace and humor. The book resonated with me as I lost a sister to cancer. It rang true for the upheaval in emotions and the need for family to circle their wagons.
Doing Harm
by Kelly Parsons
Doing Harm by Kelly Parsons (11/19/2013)
The book is an easy, engaging read. I found the medical aspects interesting and would think that it would speak to anyone in the medical field. I was expecting more around ethical dilemmas and would have liked to see a stronger case for why the murderer was so strident about safety. The politics and complexities of the medical arena rang true. The lingering question that I continued to consider was who truly did the right thing and was guided by a strong moral code? Not necessarily the main character.
I would recommend this book to readers who enjoy mysteries and those with an interest in medical issues.
