Over the course of eighteen months, young Cassie Jones has spent her life in and out of Western Pediatrics Hospital. Her doctors are baffled as they can find no underlying causes to her episodes of breathing troubles, gastric distress and seizures.
While this book is part of a series starring Alex Delaware, it stood well by itself. There were interesting discussions regarding a possible psychological syndrome that was responsible for Cassie’s ill health. It became a little more convoluted as to the happenings in the hospital and its troubles. And I lost some interest in reading that. All in all, it was a decent read and I would consider reading others in the series if I happen to come across them.
Is Kellerman really inferior in writing to his wife Faye? That's what someone told me.
I read book 34 first. Reason for that simply was the title, 'The Wedding Guest'. I thought I was going to be treated with a cozy like experience. But I can no longer convey my impressions. I've forgotten about book 34.
Maybe that's Kellerman's sins. His books don't stick in the mind. I never see his name in the bestsellers list. He ought to out dough James Patterson. Patterson's books too are forgettable. But will the latter get 5 stars from me? No.
