Dying in Care

Summary: See If You Can Solve This One!
Review: A woman has been stabbed just after checking into a hotel in Atlanta. Her purse and luggage were in the room, so it appeared that all Detectives Wade Davis and Leda Fulford would need to do is find out who wanted to kill Dr. Martha Brooks. Imagine their surprise when the good doctor's invalid husband, Harrison Brooks, tells them that the dead woman is not his wife! How can that be when all the identification in the purse belonged to Dr. Brooks? But it was strange that the one missing piece of ID was her driver's license. The only piece of photo ID in her purse.

It didn't take long for the detectives to determine that the dead woman was really Coretta Collins, a nurse who had worked with Dr. Brooks on many cases. But shortly after the discovery was made, Harrison Brooks was also found dead. He had been tortured to death. Someone wanted information. What was the connection between Dr. Brooks and Collins that caused Coretta's death? The investigation showed that they had worked together at the Oaks Nursing Home and it appeared that more than the average number of Dr. Brooks' patients had died. Had she performed mercy killings of the old people who were barely alive anyway, or was it something more sinister? Was she killing them for money?

Malador Cruikshank was a self-made man. He took advantage of the few breaks that had been thrown his way by fate. But after his brother, Beaufort's accident and his own promise to Beaufort to honor his death wish, his eyes opened to the biggest break of all. When Dr. Brooks entered his life, he saw the pieces of the puzzle begin to come together.

Wade and Leda had lives away from their police work. Leda especially had family responsibilities that kept tugging at her mind and pulling it away from her work. Her parents were ageing. Her mother had recovered well from her accident but Leda had been forced to take a leave of absence in order to nurse her through the recovery. But then her father began having problems. Wade tried to help her but what could one really do to help people when they got old?

This story provides a strong and surprising protagonist, along with a very interesting mystery. The police are led on quite a chase and finally decide they require the services of a "psychic". The story is entertaining and will keep you guessing as you try to solve the case and determine the end result of all those involved, before you reach the end of the book.
