DETECTIVE AND STUDENT NURSE? What kind of person would dream of harming the elderly? How could such a thing ever happen in a place as nice as Marian Manor? These are the thoughts that plague Nora Brady, the young student nurse assigned to the lovely nursing home in Jacobsport, a small coastal town in northern California. When cherished belongings of the residents begin disappearing and several residents die unexpectedly, Nora is forced to act. While carefully observing those around her, she looks for clues, follows her hunches and plays detective as well as student nurse. But not everyone involved is happy with Nora's investigation and Dan Maguire is one of them. He's the young police detective assigned to the case who believes that the police should handle all crime investigations. Eventually, however, he realizes that it helps to have someone on the inside-and the inside of Marian Manor is certainly filled with colorful characters, from Nora's co-workers and nurse managers to the residents with whom she loves spending time.Mystery at Marian Manor offers a glimpse into the world of nursing today and how one student nurse succeeded in making a difference! ABOUT THE AUTHOR: M.E. Roche has been a nurse for nearly 40 years, working in many settings across the United States and in Ireland. She continues to work and lives with her family in northern California.

Enjoyable read for everyone, not just young adults,
By
This review is from: Mystery at Marian Manor, The Adventures of Nora Brady, Student Nurse. (Paperback)
I found Mystery at Marian Manor to be a well written, interesting book. I could picture the patients and the setting clearly. I didn't want to put the book down until I finished it!
Ms. Roche uses just enough medical terminology to sound authentic and real. That Nora is going to be a great, compassionate nurse! I can't wait to see what trouble and mystery awaits in Ms. Roche's next book.

Inspiration for Future Nurses,
By
This review is from: Mystery at Marian Manor, The Adventures of Nora Brady, Student Nurse. (Paperback)
Having been the father of two young ladies, this would have been a good book for them to read in their years of deciding on what they wished to be and do in their lives. It portrays an eager smart student, caring person and dedicated future nurse which would have been, (but is now), an excellent role model. It also illustrates very well how nursing home residents are real people, who care and are cared for, not just "salted away" until the inevitable end. Great read!

There's a new "Nancy Drew" in town.....,

This review is from: Mystery at Marian Manor, The Adventures of Nora Brady, Student Nurse. (Paperback)
Move over, Nancy Drew, there's a new girl in town. Her name is Nora Brady and she's the new role model for these times. This would make a great movie for ABC Family or Disney. It's smart, compassionate, and extremely well written. I can't wait for Book 2 !!!!
