Synopsis

Mary Daheim’s wonderful world of Hillside Manor is zany, engrossing, and positively addicting! In Suture Self, Judith McMonigle Flynn is scheduled for a hip replacement. Instead of looking ahead to her new mobility, she’s worried. “Routine surgery” recently cost a local actress and a star baseball pitcher their lives. Though Judith smells malice, she successfully survives her operation—but another patient isn’t so lucky.Stuck in this chamber of Hippocratic horrors, Judith feels compelled to get to the bottom of what could be the worst malpractice case ever recorded … or perhaps something much more sinister. The worst diagnosis of all is the one that suggests Judith’s curiosity is terminal … and that a killer is saving a last lethal dose of medicine for her.

I listened to Suture Self as part of my quest to find a new cozy mystery audiobook after listening to most of Leslie Meier's books. Suture Self was about 9 hours long which meant I listened to over about a week. I did jump in mid series as this was the first available in my online library. Unfortuna......more

Goodreads review by Shan on June 11, 2016

First from this author for me. Humorous cozy, as expected from the punny title. I liked that the main characters are women old enough to be needing hip replacement and shoulder surgery. The setting, in a small Catholic hospital that's having hard times in the modern healthcare environment, was inter......more
