Every new novel represents a unique writing challenge.
This sort of book has all the whodunit attraction of a traditional mystery and the suspense and pace of a medical thriller. Medical mysteries remain rare because they require that the author keep the reader guessing about who the killer or killers are while at the same time ratcheting up the novel s suspense, thriller fashion. The standard medical thriller is driven by page-turning tension but forgoes the medical mystery s whodunit frame. Notice here that character choice superseded plot. You may ask why.
