Clinically Dead
(2022)(The fifth book in the Dr Cathy Moreland Mystery series)
A novel by Mairi Chong
“I was so engrossed in this and read it in a day . . . kept me gripped!” —Goodreads reviewer, five stars
Is it grief—or guilt? A doctor investigates a colleague in mourning in this addictive mystery by the author of Deadly Diagnosis.
When she pays a condolence call to medical secretary Sara Wiseman, Dr. Cathy Moreland is a bit taken aback to find Sara more upset about the recent suspicious death of her colleague at the hospital than the loss of her own mother. But Cathy is far more surprised when Sara’s husband later confides that he suspects Sara was having an affair with the dead doctor—and that he fears it was the least of her transgressions. Could she have had something to do with not only his demise but with her own mother’s?
When the postmortem reveals the doctor had a chemical in his system that was stored in the pathology lab—and it becomes apparent that a large amount of the toxin has gone missing—Cathy agrees to assist her friend and fellow doctor Suzalinna in the investigation. She can only hope she doesn’t wind up in the mortuary herself . . .
Praise for the Dr. Cathy Moreland Mysteries
“Fabulous . . . well plotted story and great characters.” —Peter Boon, author of Who Killed Miss Finch?
Genre: Mystery
