The Doctor's Wife



"The memory starts here, in my apron pocket, with the gun."

So begins The Doctor's Wife, a stunning debut novel about four people and the cataclysmic intersection of their lives.

This book was pretty good. It took me longer to read it than others that are much longer. It is full of psychological suspense, plot twists and turns, malice disguised as religion, the taint of incest and cheating spouses. I think at the beginning of the book I would have given it four stars, but by the end it was definitely a five star book.
