Synopsis

I finally have everything I’ve ever wanted: a career saving lives, my dream home among the pines, and my caring fiancé, Elton. He doesn’t know about my past. And I’ll do anything to keep it that way…   I’m so excited for my life with Elton—we’ve even discussed which room would make the perfect nursery. And we’re working together in our new jobs in the ICU at Portland General hospital.   But when I walk in on my first day, I see my ex-husband Jameson. His familiar broad shoulders are unmistakable in his white doctor’s coat. The shock knocks the air from my lungs.   I’m thrown back to the moment Jameson and I gathered around that hospital bed as the steady beeping on the monitor slowed.   We did something unforgivable that day. And for the first time, I saw who Jameson truly was. The truth scared me more than I can explain. So I ran.   If Jameson tells Elton what I did, I’ll lose everything. Will he destroy my new, perfect life? Is he still a danger to the innocent patients all around us? And how far will I have to go to stop him?   The Good Doctor is a totally twisty, rollercoaster ride of a psychological thriller that will have you glued to the pages late into the night. Fans of Freida McFadden, My Lovely Wife and The Couple Next Door will love it!   Readers love Jessica Payne:   “OMG!!!

Goodreads review by Nina (ninjasbooks) on May 16, 2023

There was a lot to like in this book. The premise in itself was promising; A medical serial killer, disguising as a helper only wanting to relieve pain. I knew little about serial killers like that, so it was refreshing to learn more about it. Although you know there probably is a killer, you keep w......more

Strangely, this book got so many good reviews and I am going to write a bad one, but I didn't like the book. In general, I like medical thrillers and suspense and there are a lot of new books about serial medical killers that are very good and intense. A month before this book I read The Doctor by A......more

Goodreads review by Mandy on May 13, 2023

A medical serial killer??? Tell me more!! Jessica Payne is absolutely an auto read author for me. 3 fantastic, twisty and dark thrillers that I have just loved so much. The Good Doctor was billed as Greys Anatomy with murder, how could anyone pass that up? Patients keep dying around Chloe’s ex husba......more
