Your life is in his hands… Exactly where he wants it.

When an eminent surgeon is arrested for murder, he knows he didn’t do it. He knows what it’s like to feel a person die on his operating table, but he didn’t inflict the wounds that ended the life of the girl they say he killed.

So, when the real perpetrator comes forward, and he is released, he feels vindicated.

Genre: Psychological Thriller / Thriller
Pages: 266 
Publisher: Boldwood Books 

What nobody knows – not the officer who arrested him, nor the influencer who petitioned for his freedom, nor the girl who escaped a killer years before – is that while he was incarcerated, he was making a plan.

Because revenge is sweet. But murder is sweeter…

My Review

I found this book very unsettling and I’ve read some pretty gruesome crime thrillers. Maybe it was because we hear from the voice of the killer himself and what goes through his head is disturbing to say the least.

He has a very high opinion of himself, believing that he is superior to virtually everyone else in the world. He is intelligent, educated, wealthy, and totally barking.

We know from the beginning that he didn’t kill the girl whose body he was found bending over, his face and hands covered in her blood like some kind of demented vampire. But though he didn’t kill her, we know he is not an innocent bystander, and that either he has killed before, or plans to in the near future. In fact we know he tried and failed ten years ago and he’s not going to let that one go. Because he has a plan. His killings will be carried out for medical science, so he can study their suffering and deaths. But it’s also about revenge plain and simple.

One wonders how he ever managed to work as a surgeon without anyone spotting his lunacy, but then I suppose he managed to keep it well under wraps.

The Surgeon is a very entertaining, if graphic and terrifying book. It’s definitely not for the faint-hearted.
