A gunman is stalking the wards of a
local hospital. He's unidentified and dangerous, and has to be located.
Urgently.
Police Firearms Officer Aden McCarthy
is tasked with tracking him down. Still troubled by the shooting of a
schoolboy, Aden is determined to make amends by finding the gunman - before
it's too late.
SHE'S WAITING
To psychologist Imogen, hospital
should be a place of healing and safety - both for her, and her young niece
who's been recently admitted. She's heard about the gunman, but he has little
to do with her. Or has he?
As time ticks down, no one knows who
the gunman's next target will be. But he's there. Hiding in plain sight. Far
closer than anyone thinks...
This book
starts at the end, which is quite a fresh approach, and something that I feel
works well, because you want to read on to find out what has happened, (You don’t
find out who the shooter is until the actual end of the novel). It starts with Charlie,
a journalist, witnessing a mass shooting at a the local Mount Pleasant hospital.
The story is
very effectively told over six days, from the perspective of the four main
characters: Charlie, a journalist with the local paper, Aden, a firearms officer,
Imogen, a psychologist, and the shooter. Don’t let that put you off. It is a
very easy book to read.
There are
quite a few sub plots involving these characters, Imogen the copper red haired
twin, who is desperate to have a baby, Charlie, who’s friend has died
mysteriously, and Aden troubled by the shooting of a schoolboy.
The plot is
very clever, and quite gripping. I liked the way that somehow the characters
lives are all intertwined. Charlie is a little bit of a stereotypical
journalist, but I did become fond of her.
This was a
couldn’t put down novel, because I had to know what why there was a shooter
stalking the hospital, and why did he open fire.
There were
plenty of red herrings to misdirect me and I didn’t guess the ending.
I thoroughly
enjoyed this novel, and would highly recommend it.
