Beneath the Surface by Lynn H. Blackburn

Beneath the Surface by Lynn H. Blackburn - 505 pages

After a harrowing experience with an obsessed patient, oncology nurse practitioner Leigh Weston needed a change. She thought she'd left her troubles behind when she moved home to Carrington, North Carolina, and took a job in the emergency department of the local hospital. But when someone tampers with her brakes, she fears the past has chased her into the present. She reaches out to her high school friend turned homicide investigator, Ryan Parker, for help.

Beneath the surface held my attention from beginning to end

ICE COLD by Tess Gerritsen

Ice Cold by Tess Gerritsen -429 pages

This was an interesting story about a medical examiner who took some time off to go with a friend and his friends to a snowy retreat.  They were stranded and ended up at the site of a cult....who had mysteriously disappeared but the leader was killing any and all evidence.  They were 30 miles from any help so it was a good adventure also.

Doctor's from Hell by Vivien Spitz

Doctor's from Hell by  Vivien Spitz
318 pages

This book is not for the faint of heart.  Doctor's from Hell covers the account of Nazi experiments on humans during World War II.  I devoured this book over the course of a couple days.  I am a history buff and have a keen interest in WWII and the atrocities that occurred in Nazi Germany, the concentration camps and the regime that annihilated the Jewish population in Europe.

This book is by Vivien Spitz.  She is the youngest court reporter to preside over the Nuremburg trials that helped bring justice to those involved in crimes against humanity during the war.  This book tells the story of several doctors and the experiments that were tested on human subjects.  It is a chilling in depth account of survival and death.  Some of the experiments include hot and freezing temperature exposure, amputation and transplants, exposure to poisonous gasses and diseases and high altitude. They are true stories from the victims and the suffering they endured.  WARNING: book contains graphic imagery and testimonials.
