Frankie is an ER nurse and she loves her job.
Her love life, though, is not so great. Her third engagement
has just
been called off. Frankie gets a call from her sister
Charlie who is in the hospital with really high
blood pressure, due to her pregnancy.
Frankie returns to her hometown of Stillwater to help her
sister.
When Frankie arrives at the hospital, she finds Clem,
an elderly man having a heart attack. With the ER swamped
with a bus accident, Frankie does what she has been trained
to do. She
gets Clem stable, and he is admitted to the hospital.
Finally, she checks on Charlie who is beside
herself, she is afraid that she is going to lose the
baby. Frankie does her best to ease her mind. The
next day, Frankie goes to check on Clem only to find out
that Clem has passed away in the night. Now for some more
bad news, since
Frankie was not licensed to practice at Stillwater. The
head of the hospital is very upset because the family is suing.
No matter what Frankie does, she keeps running into brick
walls. Now someone is out to get her. Can Frankie
figure out what is going on in Stillwater? Will she find
the time of death?
I loved TIME OF DEATH by Lucy Kerr. It had so many
unanswered questions but by the end everything is tied
up in a nice bow. Lucy Kerr also shows how family really is
the most important thing in life. I fell in love with
all of the characters in this story. I have a feeling
there are going to be more mystery and suspense books by Lucy
Kerr. I can't wait. If you want a fast read, one that
you really can sink your teeth into, this is the book for
you.
It’s been twelve years since ER nurse Frankie Stapleton fled
the quiet banks of Stillwater, but with her sister’s
pregnancy taking a dangerous turn and a string of failed
relationships in Chicago hanging over her, Frankie is
back–and hoping to put the past behind her. Within minutes
of arriving at Stillwater General Hospital however, she ends
up saving a man’s life, only to have him turn up dead hours
later – and the hospital blames Frankie.
Her instincts say Clem Jensen didn’t die of natural causes,
but the more she digs, the more she discovers too many
suspects, a few surprising allies, and some hard truths
about the first man she ever loved–and left. Now the boy she
once knew is a skeptical sheriff’s deputy, her family's
hardware store is in jeopardy, and the rift between Frankie
and her loved ones is deeper than ever.
With her
career–and future–on life support, Frankie must catch a
killer, clear her name, and heal the wounds of the past in
Lucy Kerr’s enthralling mystery debut, Time of Death.
