Mystery
When rodeo cowboy Cody O'Brien is found dead in his horse
trailer, it appears that his horse, Game Boy, is the
culprit. Aimee Machado, health sciences librarian at
Timbergate Medical Center, has no reason to doubt the
preliminary finding--not at first. Cody had been in the
hospital awaiting an operation the night he died, but he
checked himself out. Had he reason to believe his surgeon,
Dr. Phyllis Poole, was incompetent? Or is his death related
to his complex relationship with his family? It turns out
his father is dying, and four people other than Cody stood
to inherit: his young trophy wife Echo, his son James, his
daughter Keely, and her fiancé Tucker. How does Dr. Poole
fit into all this? Her surgical outcomes have not been the
best. Not to mention that Laurie Popejoy, TMC nurse and
Poole's rival in the hospital's blues combo, disappeared
the night of Cody's death. Aimee is highly motivated to
investigate. She once had a crush on Cody's brother James,
who has now set his sights on her. The missing nurse,
Laurie, left Aimee a desperate phone message the night she
disappeared. Moreover, Aimee's friend and co-worker Cleo
has elicited her help to discredit Dr. Poole. Aimee is
already confused romantically. Although it pains her, she is
trying to keep Nick, the pilot she loves but does not trust,
at arm's length. But his help proves too invaluable to
refuse. Can Aimee ferret out the truth without losing her
job and her life? Checked Out is the second book in the
Aimee Machado Mystery series, which began with Due for Discard.
