[amazon-product text=”A Simple Case of Suicide” type=”text”]0741448815[/amazon-product] is the first book from veteran paramedic Laura Kendall. I describe the book as a mystery/romantic thriller. The heroine of the story, paramedic Kendall Rose, finds herself caught in a suspenseful criminal plot when she goes too far to investigate a drug overdose that has been ruled a simple case of suicide. Her pursuit of the truth exposes her to dangers unlike any she has experience during her career as a paramedic.
I Know You
Kendall’s strength and experience as a paramedic reminds me of many of the strong and talented female paramedics I have had the honor to work with. Knowing several women similar to the character Kendall made some of the more violent aspects of the book a little too real as I imagined people I know and like being caught in a dangerous situation.
Honors Paramedics and Police Officers
Kendall is assisted by a cast of talented medics and police officers. The author draws on her own career experiences to create characters that are competent, compassionate, and compelling. I always appreciate books that honor the work of EMS professionals.
