About this listen

"Help! I...can’t...breathe! He’s...trying to...kill me! Please! Oh, God! He’s...killing me!”

Margery Harris’ last words…gasped in a hoarse, rasping voice on the county’s 9-1-1 line.

For Marge’s doctor, they weren’t merely the last words of a patient, they were a desperate cry for help from an old friend. But they’re puzzling because Marge died from a fatal allergic reaction to peanuts. Was it possible…murder by peanut?

Her doctor, Noreen Marconi, MD, a 30-something family practitioner in a suburban town outside Baltimore, feels she owes it to Marge to get to the truth. A dozen years ago Norrie left town as a size 20. After college, medical school, and residency, she’s back as a size 10, and she wants some answers. She enlists the help of Sheriff’s Deputy Travis Lawton, her big crush as a teen, and their investigation leads them along a twisty-turny path to a totally unexpected conclusion. Also unexpected are the feelings that begin to spark between them as they work together.

In the middle of all this, her apartment floods and she has to move back into the old family home with her mother…a house that’s now haunted by the ghost of her father.

Rx Murder is the first of a series blending romance, murder, mystery, and the paranormal.

Enjoyable average

Being an avid reader of Wilson I had to try this out. The plot is nothing special, a little predictable, but overall keeps you company. Still love his writing and characterization. The reader: very good.

More cheese with that whine?

So, I'm glad I persevered, but I nearly didn't as the author lost me with his characterisation of the female lead, after half hour I was ready to chuck it in. Whine, Whine, Whine. My fat hips, love handles etc. Diet obsessed. It pervaded nearly every internal thought for a good portion of the book. If I hadn't known this was a male author I would have guessed because it seems a male's idea of a woman and not authentic of women who don't have severe mental issues. Also the woman's response to a malpractice suit, whine, whine, poor me, I'm such a good person. It kind of made me wonder if the author had a problem with female doctors, and there was a definite axe to grind over medical malpractice, some of which is warranted but a cozy mystery isn't the place.
That aside, the book could have done with a good edit to tighten it up, obviously there are bits that are necessary to set up future books, but all the extraneous stuff made it drag in places. Cutting all that out and ignoring the implausability of the dr helping in the investigation, the mystery itself worked quite well, obvious suspects plus an unobvious one, nothing too clear cut but you could work it out yourself and the minor romantic relationship and the familial relationships were cute and reasonably drawn.
So not bad, not wonderful, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get another of this author's books or continue the series.
