'Moving, outrageous and outrageously funny' Dawn French

When a toxic hospital consultant dies of a heart attack, fellow doctor Eitan Rose smells foul play. Nobody else does though, including some quite crucial players like the police and the coroner.

But Eitan just won't let it drop, and his friends and colleagues become increasingly concerned about his mental health as his chaotic investigation and equally chaotic life spiral out of control. Is he making a career-ending mistake, or could there genuinely be a killer stalking the wards?

A brilliantly crafted tale that cleverly portrays all too familiar experiences of life within the NHS, with comical accuracy. Many Laugh out loud moments, immersive storytelling excellently narrated, and a thoroughly entertaining read.

Fab, just fab.

Some of the dialogue was over zany but I liked Margaret’s Scottish voice the best

It brought mental health a more sympathetic attitude

As a Consultant doctor in the NHS, this books humour was right up my street. Sure, the story itself was very far-fetched but it C was griping & very, very funny. I was disappointed that culprit turned out to be who it was, they had seemed such a delightful person, but too good to be true I guess! Definitely a recommended read, especially for all us NHS martyrs.

Hilarious
