5.0 out of 5 stars
great nursing thriller!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Twice Dead (Hardcover)
This heroine is a real person, not some perfect sleuth! She is a nurse in an understaffed hospital dealing with real issues when a murder occurs on her floor. I loved how she got angry, emotional, etc. Great characters, great descriptions, and St. Louis natives will enjoy the description of the city's south side. I found myself racing to finish the book, excited for the outcome. While some of the passages were confusing at times and I had to reread them, for the most part it was an excellent first novel for Eleanor Sullivan. I look forward to Monika's return in future novels.

Twice Dead,

This review is from: Twice Dead (Hardcover)
Face-paced, realistic, yet peppered with wry humor - a mystery I couldn't put down. You don't have to be a nurse toappreciate the hospital background, but if the killer doesn't scare you, the "managed care" system will. Sullivan knows her stuff!

great fun - I can't wait for the next one!,

This review is from: Twice Dead (Paperback)
As a St. Louis resident, I always enjoy books that are set here, with their references to all my favorite places. But this book has far more to offer than a familiar setting - there is a great mystery plot, characters I'd like to meet, and some great background on the problems going on in our medical community today. Eleanor knows her stuff - she writes with intelligence and wit. Great read.
