Misfire (2) (The Kate Downey Medical Mystery Series)

Tammy Euliano is the master of the medical thriller. In Misfire, anesthesiologist Kate Downey leads the way as a new medical implant from Kadence meant to act as both a pacemaker and defibrillator starts to malfunction in its patients. Kate’s Aunt Irm has one of these implants so it really hits close to home. As more devices malfunction, Kate knows there is something sinister behind all of it. Her friend, Nikki, is the lead doctor who is completing the operation but Nikki seems as perplexed as Kate as to why the devices are acting up.

Misfire Is an intense story that brings back the characters in Euliano’s first book, Fatal Intent. Euliano does a great job of easing the reader into the story and giving just enough bits and pieces of Kate’s history to make the story both interesting and easy to understand.

I loved the budding romance between Kate and Christian and found Christian’s story to be just as exciting as Kate’s. This is a fantastic read for anyone who loves a fast-paced thriller set in a medical background.
