The Pain Nurse

By: Jon Talton

Narrated by: Lloyd James, Marguerite Gavin

Cheryl Beth Wilson, a nurse at Cincinnati Memorial Hospital, finds a doctor brutally murdered in a secluded office. Wilson had been having an affair with the doctor's husband, a surgeon, and now she is a "person of interest" if not an outright suspect. But someone other than the police is also watching Cheryl Beth.

The murder comes as former homicide detective Will Borders is just out of surgery. But as his stretcher is wheeled past the crime scene, he knows this is no random act of violence - in fact, it has all the marks of a serial-killer case he supposedly solved years before. Unable even to walk, Borders starts to investigate, teaming up with Cheryl Beth, who is desperate to clear her name. But as the killer grows closer, the two are running out of time to unlock the secrets of the murder at the brooding, old hospital.

A waste of a credit, definitely!

What did you like best about The Pain Nurse? What did you like least?

Best, that it was not a lengthy book
Least - beginning to end

What could Jon Talton have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Named it something that wasn't misleading. The story had nothing to do with Nursing.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Lloyd James and Marguerite Gavin ?

No idea.

Was The Pain Nurse worth the listening time?

No, it was not.

Any additional comments?

Definitely not worth the credit or the time. I am a Nurse and thought the title sounded interesting. The title had nothing to do with the story at all.

Very Enjoyable

Easy to listen to. Intriguing plot. Plausible characters. Will be looking for his next book.

Enjoyable

It was easy to listen to. I liking both cop and medical field books this book held my attention.

Drama at it's Best!

Where does The Pain Nurse rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It is up there with the best. The story keeps moving, with not too much location and person descriptions which can become boring.

What other book might you compare The Pain Nurse to and why?

None as yet..it is the first medical/drama I have had.

Have you listened to any of Lloyd James and Marguerite Gavin ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is a first

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Almost 3 it took.

Any additional comments?

I am looking for more of the same-ish

Going at It Backwards

I read the sequel first "Powers of Arrest" which I enjoyed more. This was good also except it ended much too aburptly and there was a break in the continuity of the stories.
