Sometimes People Die: The gripping medical thriller for fans of Jed Mercurio and This is Going to Hurt coming in 2022

Product Information

This title caught my eye when a GoodReads friend commented in her review that it had too much medicine in it for her - a big plus for me: I generally love crime thrillers written by real doctors, and the more bleak hippocratic humour the better. Sometimes People Die is like a version of This Is Going To Hurt as written by Gregory House - but without all the objects being retrieved from orifices. This is part memoir - an accurate portrayal of life as a junior hospital doctor in the late nineties NHS, but with a serial killer mystery thrown in to broaden the appeal to lovers of true crime. It is entirely fictional, apart from the inserts about famous murderous medics from across the ages every few chapters - other reviewers have felt these to be an unnecessary distraction from the plot, but I found them fascinating.

The pace starts to go above that of a country stroll though it’s never brisk partly because of the narrator's delivery. Suspicions start to fall in several places, there’s a tragedy and some rather good plot twists you do not expect. Unfortunately, you have to be very patient for those to arrive.
