Do you like medical mysteries, drama and thrills then Resuscitation by D.M. Annechino is the book for you. I have had the pleasure to read the author's other book They Never Die Quietly and they are both fantastic. Let me tell you a little about Resuscitation:
Two years ago, Detective Sami Rizzo narrowly escaped a brush with death at the hands of a serial killer. After apprehending the killer and bringing him to justice, this life-changing event compels her to resign from the police force. In her heart of hearts, however, she struggles with the decision. But a second serial killer—a well-respected doctor gone astray—uses his charm to seduce his victims and then performs horrific surgical experiments on them. In a final act of depravity, he scatters their mutilated bodies throughout San Diego County.
Feeling a sense of duty and obligation, Sami Rizzo appeals to the police chief and mayor, and they reinstate her as a homicide investigator. As the body count grows and the killer’s experiments become more and more brutal, Sami follows one dead-end lead after another, while trying to deal with a sickly mother and a turbulent relationship with her lover. But then the killer makes a crucial mistake: one of his victims survives. Sami does everything to protect the barely alive victim, but the killer has a different plan…
My thoughts:
Being in the medical field, I have always enjoyed a good medical mystery that includes twists, drama and action. Resuscitation combines all of these elements in a interesting novel. It included a cast of characters that were developed fully and they intermingled perfectly adding to the plot. The shifting from scenes was smooth and I finished the book rather quickly. The Villain (I will not give it away) was sadistic, manipulating, shrewd and brilliant trying to perform a medical experiment that he feels will help mankind. Does He succeed with the experiments? I guess you have to read the book to find out. The author wrote a fantastic novel full surprises that kept me on my toes and I could not put the book down.
