Summary: Dr. Eric Parrish is having a bad month. His relationship with his ex-wife is increasingly estranged and their informal co-parenting arrangement is falling apart. To make matters worse, he was just accused of sexual harassment by a Resident who is mad that Dr. Parrish rebuffed her advances. Oh, and a patient of his may have murdered somebody and because Dr. Parrish won't violate doctor/patient confidentiality, he's considered a suspect as well. Dr. Parrish is having a hard time getting anybody to believe him. Can he clear his name?
Review: Dr. Parrish sure sticks to his guns when it comes to sticking to doctor/patient confidentiality. I would love to know if he was right in not sharing what was discussed in his sessions with his patient Max. I remember when I was listening to this book that I kept thinking, "I think I would sing like a canary." Not that there was any concrete proof that Max did anything, it was all very circumstantial. Of course, I would have also lawyered up quicker than Dr. Parrish did because everybody knows you can't trust detectives to actually listen to you. Poor naive Dr. Parrish. They're there to solve a murder and Dr. Parrish did look kind of guilty himself, although again, for circumstantial reasons. Anyhoo, it all worked out in the end. The twist at the end was kind of fun, but all in all, I think my general dislike of Dr. Parrish led me to give this book three stars over four. I leaned toward four stars, but this was a good book, not a great book.
