THE HEALING KNIFE BY S.L. RUSSELL
Paperback published by lion Hudson
To Rachel Keyte death is the enemy. The early loss of her beloved father from heart failure ignited a single-minded determination in her: to save as many patients as she can, and to become a consultant before the age of forty. Everything else – friendship, love, empathy – is sacrificed to her obsession.
Now Rachel’s surgical skills are twelve-year-old Craig’s only hope for a normal life. His mother Eve holds a deep distrust of doctors, and her son is all she has. Reluctantly, she agrees for the operation to go ahead. But surgery is never predictable, nor is a devastated mother’s terrifying reaction. Eve, it seems, wants a life for a life.
MY REVIEW
The Healing Knife is an excellent nerve jangling medical drama. I loved every page. It made wonder how Sue Russell came up with this splendid idea, and all the medical operations. I would most definitely highly recommended The Healing Knife to any reader.
Rachel Keyte is the best heart surgeon. She is called upon to do twelve-year-old Craig Rawlins awaited operation. But after his operation he delvopes complications and sadly dies.
Rachel attends Craig’s funeral. Eve Rawlins is blaming Rachel for her son’s death. Inside the church Eve shouts at Rachel. Murderer Bloody murderer I’ll hound you, butcher I’ll never let you rest! I’ll make you suffer.
Rachel is hounded by Eva Rawlins doing some of the most horrible things, she obviously wants revenge to the point of a life for a life.
An absolute crazy page turner.
