Bad Medicine

Rating:
Summary: Heartpounding Fun
Review: In Bad Medicine, risk manager Vicki Lucci is at her quick-thinking, sarcastic best as a maternity ward co-hostage. Pinned down on the maternity ward with an about to deliver mother, a squeamish father, the delivery-room nurse, and a crazed gunman, Vicki finds herself facing the toughest challenge of her career. Think "The Negotiator" only hysterically funny!

Review: She's back! And in even more glorious comedic form! Vicky Lucci has been taken hostage by a madman in the hospital's maternity ward. Having previously agreed to a settlement with the hospital, the gunman (who believes his wife's medically necessary hysterectomy is part of some plot to ruin his life) demands to speak with two people: the surgeon and Vicky.

Leave it to Vicky to curse out the person who's holding a gun on her head. Why? She's tired, forgot most of her obstetrical rotation (and is being held in conjunction with a woman in labor and her husband), has a wedding to get to, and is in heels!

Snappy dialogue and freely flowing prose make this installment great fun and a breeze to get through, but there's not an equal balance between work and home for Vicky in this novel than in the two previous. What's going on with her relationship with Glenn? Are they still together? Has she met the kids?

This novel continues the trend of a great series. I just wish it had been longer.

Review: This book is okay. But not all that great. The hostage situation is most of the book and I felt like I was a hostage too and as tired of it and tired of the hostage-taker as Vicky was. It is a readable kind of book, but not much else going for it. Well, that's my opinion.

Summary: Not as good as the first two
