Fatal Intentions

Paramedic Anneliese Ashmore Mysteries, Book 2

By: Belinda Frisch

Narrated by: Julia Farmer

An investigation into the dark side of medical research continues when a copycat killer strikes the town of Marion, reopening old wounds as those impacted by the year-old medical murders search for closure.

Paramedic Anneliese Ashmore wants nothing more than to move on - past her sister's death and the turbulence of her budding relationship with Dr. Jared Monroe - toward normalcy, acceptance, and maybe even marriage.

But nothing is ever that easy.

When two corpses connected to her sister's murder surface, their familiar manner of death begs the question whether the deaths are the wrapping up of unfinished business or an act of revenge.

After a third victim goes missing, police are under pressure to secure a suspect.

Both Ana and Jared have motive and opportunity, but do they have the inclination? A trail of evidence leads Sergeant Mike Richardson to struggle between duty and loyalty as he investigates the case with the help of Dr. Kimberly Taylor. While Mike doesn't believe either Ana or Jared might be the killer, he must uncover who is because someone close to them has fatal intentions.

Poor Decisions and Misguided Actions

There are so many things wrong in this story that I don't know where to begin. Belinda Frisch brings up several key plot points from the first book. That in itself isn't a problem. The problem is that I read it two years ago. It was confusing and annoying to have these vaguely remembered little tidbits inserted into the story. Ana's behavior toward her significant other, the cops inability to keep anything confidential, Ana's obvious denial of everything going on around her made her appear stupid. She was weak, needy and made rash decisions throughout the story. I rolled my eyes several times and fast forwarded several times. The final straw was that the author ended the book unresolved. Yes, we find out who the killer is but there is so much not answered. I'm not even sure I want to listen to the next book to find the answers. Especially if I have to wait two years for a conclusion.
