excellent book

I work in the medical profession. I enjoy reading fiction about emergency doctors and situations. I could not find any obvious mistakes. Kept me guessing thoughout the entire book. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend anything by Gwen Hunter.

Just Gets Better And Better

In this, the fourth book in the series featuring Dr. Rhea Lynch, many girls in the rural county in South Carolina have gone missing. When a mass grave is discovered, Rhea is deputized as the coroner on a temporary basis and she must adjust to dealing with dead bodies rather than healing the living. As in the previous books, the ER scenes are riveting. The characters are engaging, especially the newest addition, mysterious Eli Cordell. But most of all, it's because Hunter is such a good storyteller that I enjoy her books so much. There are a few things left unresolved at the end of this story, but I'm sure they will be addressed in the next book. I can hardly wait!

Dr. Rhea-Rhea's 4th book...

Dr. Rhea Lynch was an E.R. physician in a small South Carolina town. When gun shots erupted down the street from her home, Rhea grabbed her medical bag and sprinted to help. The chief coroner was shot during the episode and Rhea found herself, unwillingly, deputized as an assistant coroner. Just another item to pay back Mark Stafford, local law enforcer, for. And pay him back she would. In spades! It was not long before a mass grave was uncovered. All were young girls, all high school ages, some black and some white, and all posed in the grave to make a message. It seemed the area had a serial killer on the loose and he had been killing for quite awhile. ***** Hmmm, seems Dr. Rhea-Rhea and Mark are going through a severe rough patch in romance. (This was a loose end from the last book.) Enter dangerous and sexy man Eli Cordell. This ex-military commando-man will give Mark a serious run for Rhea's affection. This novel has more action, adventure, and romance than the predecessors. So hold onto your seat. There are a couple of sub-plots around the young girls and Marisa that I do not mention for fear of spoiling something. All-in-all, this medical/police thriller is well worth the price. Readers, be sure to email or write the author telling her that you want Eli to get his own story told! ***** Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews.

Very nice...

Promotions can be murder; at least in some cases. When the chief coroner is gunned down, Rhea Lynch finds herself having to step in as assistant coroner on a baffling case. A mass grave opens up a huge can of worms, personally and professionally. Rhea is challenged to find the killer before more deaths are racked up, but she is being forced to work with Mark, the guy who two timed her, and with Eli, the man who wants her now. On top of that, her dear friend Risa is being courted by a smooth talking cowboy who may be Rhea's friend, but that won't keep her from murder if he hurts brain damaged Risa.*** Fans will be glad to catch up with Dr. Rhea's life. The town is taking on added depth with each volume relating this gutsy lady's life. With danger and romance, you will be drawn into and thoroughly involved in the plot. *** Amanda Killgore

superb medical romantic thriller

In Dawkins County, South Carolina, Dr. Rhea Lynch hears the volley of bullets and goes out to see if she can help. Though she almost ended up being hurt in a crossfire that is not what made her reconsider her Good Samaritan efforts. The county coroner Dr. Anita Yarborough was badly hurt in the fray and Rhea has been drafted to temporarily serve as a deputy completing the medical examination of the murder of John Pendergrass by his foster son Wayne Geter, who claims sexual abuse and that his sister was sold to someone who will abuse her abuse.Rhea works alongside police captain Mark Stafford, a person she is in love with, but who abruptly ended their relationship when he allegedly impregnated someone else. As Rhea learns more about the case, she finds out that other girls are missing, leading the FBI into the investigation. Soon Rhea will risk her life trying to bring down a sexual predator using, abusing, and killing young females.In her latest appearance (see DEADLY REMEDY), Rhea remains a delightful protagonist; whose refreshed with her new more bureaucratic role. That assignment also forces Rhea to deal with Mark. The story line is loaded with action as Rhea slowly becomes involved with stopping a sexual predator. Fans of the series will take pleasure in Rhea's latest medical romantic thriller.Harriet Klausner.Harriet Klausner
