Summary: Highly Recommended
Review: I didn't see any medical credits attached to the author's name, so she must have had had some very good assistance from the sources she listed in the forward. I have read medical thrillers written by MD's that were not as believable and realistic as this story was. In addition to the excellent medical text, the characters spring effortlessly to life under Hunter's skillful descriptions. Dr. Rhea Lynch is a strong and resourceful character. But it was the dog in the story that captivated me. I just happen to have a large black dog named Belle too. Hunter writes about this dog as only a true dog lover can. The pace is fast and the action is non-stop. I look forward to reading future stories about Dr. Rhea Lynch and Belle.

Summary: A Great Mystery
Review: I loved this book! It will not be the last of Gwen Hunter's books that I will read. I am really looking forward to the next one. If you enjoy reading about strong, loyal heroines, this book is for you. I feel that Ms. Hunter is very talented in making her reader feel the emotins of the characters - and that is what draws you in. I couldn't put this book down until I knew who was responsible for Marisa's condition - I really wanted the villans to suffer. A great ending, a tantilizing hint of what the next book in this series might hold for Rhea and Mark, and great secondary characters that you want to learn more about make this book a wonderful summer read.

Summary: Enjoyable fast read
Review: This is actually my favorite Gwen Hunter book so far. Hunter knows ER medicine, and her knowledge shows. The heroine is likable and believable, and I particularly enjoy seeing a smart, strong Southern female character who isn't gun-toting, redneck, or sitting on the veranda sipping something with a hint of mint. An enjoyable medical mystery.

Summary: Great Cliffhanger
Review: Well, I could not put this book down. It rolled along like a freight train. Very well written. The medical terms were well explained and I really enjoyed it. Rhea is a great heroine and Mark is meant to be her guy.

Summary: Hunter hits her mark.
Review: When she left Charleston, and a life that was threatening to drown her, Dr. Rhea Lynch ran to Dawkins County, South Carolina, and the only real family she knew. She'd hardly settled in to her new life when her best friend, Marisa, suffers a mysterious and brutal injury that leaves her paralyzed and incapable of speech. According to the doctors, it was a stroke, but when Rhea finds out that she's been barred from even seeing her best friend, she begins to suspect the initial diagnosis. With the assistance of Miss Essie, Marisa's housekeeper, Rhea manages to sneak into the house and examine her friend secretly, discovering a clue that was apparently missed by both the attending physician and the emergency room doctor, a clue that tells her Marisa did not suffer a stroke. Rhea begins her own investigation into what happened, but when one and then another patient appears in her emergency room displaying identical symptoms, Rhea puts the pieces of the puzzle together, coming to a terrifying conclusion that threatens to tear apart not only the lifelong friendships Rhea treasures, but perhaps the very fabric of Dawkins County as well.Gwen Hunter, a Rock Hill resident and medical professional, draws on her extensive experience to invest a sense of reality into this many layered conspiracy whose ultimate solution will surprise even the most jaded reader. Her prose possesses an easy, fluid clarity that captures her readers and keeps them glued to every page. Her characterizations are dead-on, making even the least important character in the book as real as the people we encounter in real life all the time: Mark, the handsome police captain who wants Rhea but is too hard-headed to admit it; Cam, a college buddy who may be more interested in the charming doctor than she ever knew; Miss DeeDee, matriarch, dressed to kill in blue jeans and pearls, who knows all the secrets the county has tried to keep hidden. But it is Rhea who leaps off the page. Fiercely independent and loyal to her childhood friend, Rhea's innate curiosity and attention to even the smallest details open up a wild tangle of deception, infidelity and attempted murder. "Delayed Diagnosis" is a well-crafted tale, filled with suspense and intrigue enough to keep readers turning the pages until we reach the end, closing the cover first with a sigh of satisfaction, followed by an impatient groan at having to wait until the next tale falls into our hands.
