Family Doctor by J.M. Dalgliesh


 
Description from Goodreads:

"I have three days to kill a patient. If I fail, my daughter will die

As the only doctor on a stunning remote Scottish island, I finally feel safe and happy. Here, nobody knows about my troubled past except my teenage daughter Lauren. As a single mother, it’s just the two of us now, and Lauren is my world.

Caring for every person on the island from birth to death, I know all their fears and secrets. But they don’t know mine, and for the sake of my daughter, I must keep it that way…

Everything is going perfectly until I am sent a link to a live video stream of my beautiful daughter Lauren, her wide blue eyes terrified. And there’s a voice:

‘Three rules. Three days.
You must murder one of your patients.
You must not tell another soul.
You must not get caught.
If you fail, your daughter dies…’"

I haven't read anything by this author before but if this is an example of his work, it won't be my last.  Family Doctor was a great psychological thriller that I enjoyed.

With great characters, an excellent story that I quickly became immersed in and with some great tension-filled scenes, this is a book that I found hard to put down.  It was written at a fast pace and the location of a remote Scottish Island really provided a sense of isolation and claustrophobia that fitted really well with the story.  

Written at a good pace and with some great twists, this book questions how far you would go to protect your flesh and blood and I would recommend it to those who enjoy a fast-paced thriller.

Many thanks to the author, Bookouture and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of this book.
