Thriller Medical
Philip is an EMT. Ten years ago he was a surgeon who gave up his job
to become an EMT. Lately, Philip is having a lot of bad luck. He can't
sleep which is causing problems with his work. Philip is also having
problems at home with his wife, they have been trying to have a baby,
but it seems like everything is all work and no play. Jana is a prosecutor who has a lot of hidden secrets. One of the big
secrets right now is she is hidden Danilo a criminal who has escaped.
Why is Jana doing this, Danilo has information on her that dates back
to when she was younger. Hansen and Mia are the police that are investigating several murders.
Not just normal murders, but the type that the victims have had parts
removed from their bodies while still alive. Could all these murders be
connected? The only person that they find is Philip; it seems that he
has known something about all of these victims. In fact, he worked with
most of them. So what is the connection? While SLOWLY WE DIE by Emelie
Schepp, I found I was getting confused on who was who. There are
several different stories that all lead back to one another. This is the
kind of book that you really have to read slowly, and at times might
have to go back and reread to keep the characters straight. That being
said, I also felt that I couldn't wait to finish it to figure out exactly what
was going on and see how all of the storylines concluded. SLOWLY WE DIE keeps you guessing,
and I don't think anyone will figure out the ending of this book. It was
very surprising!
