The Surgeon

By: Leslie Wolfe

Narrated by: Gwendolyn Druyor

Trusted surgeon. Loving wife. Murderer?

Before my world came crashing down, I had it all. The successful career I dreamed of. The beautiful red-brick home where I could relax in front of the fire. The handsome, devoted husband whose blue eyes and charming smile always made me feel safe.

As I call time of death, my voice is steady. My colleagues stand hushed around me, their eyes on me, confused, concerned.

I have never lost a patient until today.

My hands tremble inside their gloves. I slide down the cold tiled walls, my heart racing in my chest.

I have never hated a patient until today.

But what choice did I have, once I recognized him?

And what will I do to protect myself, if someone learns the truth?

A totally gripping psychological thriller that will have you gasping for breath until the final jaw-dropping twist. If you love Freida McFadden, Shari Lapena, and The Girl on the Train, you won’t be able to pause this.

Endless repetition

The whining, little-girl voice of Dr. Anne made me cringe every time she spoke. And she whined the same thing again and again. In addition, there was no way could I suspend my disbelieve enough to buy into the storyline here. I'm glad that others enjoyed this, but it was definitely not for me.

Narrator

The voice of Ann was horrible!! Will not listen to another by this author if using the same narrator

horrible narration

the narration ruined this book for me. grating whiney voice. I struggled to get through it.

Canna take th’ strain

I never finished the story. Maybe it’s a 5star. Don’t know
I could not take another second of our heroine’s inner landscape. The simpy, plaintive whining and wheedling little 8yr old voice. Honestly it was too much. Hard to listen to.

Powered through and glad I did.

The narrator was rough— made the surgeon annoying. She was whiny and not strong. I also struggled with the repetitiveness of the story. The same thoughts over and over again. I sped up to 1.8 do I could finish it quicker. Character development was good. Kind of predictable but what book isn’t? Had a whole tangle of webs and a few things I didn’t suspect. Overall, I’d say I would recommend the book— but not the audible version. I hate to hate on narrators but it *almost* ruined the book for me to the point I didn’t want to finish. I’m glad I did though.
