First time I?ve come across this writer ? apparently she has some medical training and bases her books on operating theatres, ER rooms, etc.
Anyway, not a bad page turner about a doctor in an ER room (see told you) that discovers a series of inexplicable deaths and tries to work out what is behind them.
Not exactly gripping stuff but worth a read ? another book let down by an apparent need to get the ending over and done with quickly.
I wouldn?t jump on Amazon and order everything she?s written but I?d pick up another of her books if I saw it on a stand.
Recommended ? if you like medical/mystery type things.

Shhh Darwin, you'll give away their secret. After 7 days they are so curled that they can be repackaged as a sausage roll drumroll:

Melchett: [bowing] You are every jolly jacktar’s dream, Majesty.
Queen: I thought as much. If he’s really gorgeous, I’m thinking
of marrying him.
Blackadder: Ma’am, is that not a little rash?
Queen: I don’t think so.
Nursie: It wouldn’t be your first little rash if it was.
[The whistle sounds again and Sir Walter enters
with a flourish and bows deeply and elaborately.
They all applaud him for his feats. Sir Walter
is played by Simon Jones, of “Arthur Dent” fame.
As if I have to tell you]
Sir Walter: Majesty! [he sings out]
Queen: Splice me timbers, Sir Walter, it’s bucko to see you,
old matey!
Sir Walter: I’m sorry?
Blackadder: [caustically] She says hello.
Sir Walter: And well she might, for I have bought her gifts and
dominions beyond her wildest dreams [taking off his
hat and bowing with a flourish again]
Queen: Are you sure? I have some pretty wild dreams, you know…
I’m not sure what they mean, but the other day there was
this enormous tree, and I was sitting right on top of it-
Melchett: [warningly] Ma’am
Queen: And then I dreamt once that I was a sausage roll-
Melchett: Majesty-
Queen: Sorry! So excited! Don’t know what I’m saying. Oh- come on,
Sir Walter, I want to hear about absolutely everything!
Sir Walter: [launches into storytelling mode] Then, prepare to hear
tales of terrible hardship, endurance and woe. [All settle]
We set sail from Plymouth in the spring of 1552 [Edmund
yawns quite audibly]
Queen: [disparagingly] You remember Lord Blackadder…
