Deadly Remedy

Rating:
Summary: Too Hokey
Review: While I am a big fan of medical thrillers, I couldn't get into this one. The small town in which the book takes place is steeped in both religious fundamentalism and superstition. One day, a faith healer comes to town and cures a paralyzed young woman but others who received her "special treatment" begin to develop seizures. After a van slams into a pole, two women are rescued and their bodies tell the tale of severe abuse, but they can't communicate beyond strange chanting, symbols and a frightening, voodoo-like doll in their possession. Rhea struggles to determine if dark magic forces are at work or if these events can be explained by science.
