Delayed Diagnosis: Rhea Lynch, M.D., Book 1

Lots of turns & twists in this story. They sure are mean & nasty in little Southern towns!!! There were so many things going on that I never did figure out who the really bad guy was.

No. I've never read or listened to anything by this reader before but I like her style. She did a good job with the characters & pronounced all the medical terms properly.

Yes. I was in my home office doing data entry & worked until dawn so I could finish the book.

I'll be buying more books in this series.

This is book one in the Rhea Lynch MD series. Dr. Lynch moved from Charleston to practice medicine in the ER of a small South Carolina hospital in Dawkin County.

Dr. Lynch returns from vacation to find her best friend near death form a stroke. Her family blocks Lynch from visiting her. Then a man is brought into the ER with similar symptoms, then another and another. A powerful conspiracy affects the entire community. Lynch discovers it is not a stroke but whatever it is, it was caused on purpose.

The pace is fast, lots of riveting ER action. The story is full of suspense, well drawn characters and a strong story line. I am enjoying this easy to read book that is full of suspense and humor. I have learned a number of southern expressions that I have never heard before. I am glad to have discovered the writings of Gwen Hunter. I read this as an audiobook downloaded from Audible. Carol Hendrickson narrated the book.

I always enjoyed this author's series about the world of medical examiners. This book is similar in style and the characters are pretty good. I would not rate this book as one of the best, but it is well worth the read.

Entertaining, enticing, unpredictable.

This is one that I was not able to predict.

As an animal lover, her experience with the dumped dog touched my heart.

Designing Women meets Murder She Wrote.

I have been looking for another series to grab my attention. In the beginning, I will admit the extreme southern accent was hard to tolerate and I had to make myself listen. However as I got further into the book, the southern charm, traditions and nuance's made the accent fit perfectly with the character, to the point I could actually visualize the character and settings.

The story and charters are really believable and exciting and caring. Looking forward to the next book. The narrarator is really good also.

Read by Carol Hendrickson, Delayed Diagnosis is just over ten hours of listening. This is Book 1 in the Rhea Lynch, MD series of mysteries. Rhea Lynch returns from a vacation to chaos. Her best friend is near catatonic, cannot speak, diagnosed with having had a stroke. More people show up in the ER with similar symptoms. But … it is not a stroke, rather a devious, diabolic attempt to silence individuals who know the truth. Evil beyond description. Who done it? Rhea Lynch digs. Take a ride with Delayed Diagnosis and find out!

Nice introduction to a character, however, if I were to have my druthers, the author would taper back with the educational medical verbiage. Speaking metaphorically, I wasn't too interested in how the watch was built, only that it was ticking. Robin Cook, author of medical thrillers such as Coma and Outbreak, would like this story, right up his alley. Narration is great, no trouble discerning who-says-what-to-who ... no trouble sticking with this story, a page turner. Enjoy

I have to use more than 3 words. Fast paced,great characters and the perfect reader.

I enjoyed many of the characters, but Rhea Lynch was my favorite. Plenty of pluck but human too!

Ms Hendrickson's performance was perfect for this book. Her accent gave real breath to the characters. Never allowed you to leave the South.

The acquisition of Bell was very sweet and real. But Rhea really needed to put in the "doggy door".

Can't wait to read the next Dr Lynch book!

Not with this narrator/reader.

Protagonist very engaging.

Someone who does not have rapid pressured speech. She was almost aggressive in her narrative.

Not really. It was just a good story that kept me engaged despite the horrible reader.

As I listen to books in my car while driving to work or vacation, I have listened to MANY books. While the story is interesting and fascinating, the reader's voice soon drove me to distraction. If it had not been for the plot, I would have stopped listening.

I felt her fear while she was in danger and I could well picture the surroundings.

Almost anyone

I really enjoyed the story and it was well narrated, but if I had to hear one more time about how dry the doctor's skin was and whether she was able to apply jojoba oil, I was ready to scream. I kept thinking that it was going to make sense in the end, but it wasn't part of the plot after all. Just annoying!
