Author, Jordyn Redwood writes from the standpoint and
first-hand knowledge of a long-time experienced emergency room nurse. In her first novel, Proof, she opens with a fast paced scene in the ER with Dr. Lilly
Reeves handling a recent rape case. She
confronts the on hand detective in the ER about the "serial" rapist
at large. Little did Dr. Reeves know
that she would be the next victim.
The character of Dr. Reeves is strong as is typical of a
woman doctor. She is strong in the
medical profession and in her ability to diagnose and investigate medically the
cases brought to her. She is not so
strong emotionally because she is has a complex history which creates in her a
complex individual.
Dr. Lilly realizes that she know facts that will help
identify the assailant and an accusation is made.
DNA Tests are run but the accused is freed because the results say he
is not the one. However, she knows
identifying characteristics that make her realize that something is askew about
the test results. The medical twists and
turns of this maze will confound even the experts.
She has friends in the ER with whom she works that are
supportive and caring. They are also the
ones who believe her - up to a point - as she tries to find proof of her assailant before he finds and eliminates her. As the story unfolds and her life seems to completely unravel, we find a soft
romance beginning to bloom and it is really a treat to see this need filled in
her life.
This is a fast paced story that is replete with medical
terminology that will sit well with those "in the know" an will be a
strong selling point for authenticity for this the first in Jordyn Redwood's Bloodline Triology.
This book would be categorized as a medical/criminal
thriller. It is indeed that. I look
forward to the next book from Jordyn Redwood in the Bloodline Triology. It is
sure to be another block buster.

I commented about hospice care. I think that people who think hospice isn't care just don't understand.

I read, Chief Camp Diseases of the Civil War. I am fascinated with the Civil War Era. It amazes me that people died to easily from STDs that are easily treated now with the advances in medicine that we have.
