Product Description
Review
Three years after walking its halls as an aggrieved widower, Detective Sergeant Charlie Hammond returns to Westwood General Hospital only this time the death that's brought him there is that of four murdered patients...despite his strong suspicions, Hammond finds it nearly impossible to crack the case; after all, Sister Cate Carter and her staff have run the ward where the murders occurred seemingly above reproach for years...however, luck finally appears to be on Hammond's side when a serendipitous discovery sheds new light on the facts of the case, giving Hammond just the break he needs to solve the mysterious deaths... Taut and compelling, Fallen Angel is a mind-bending psychological thriller. In it, author Maggie Wilson skillfully intertwines equal elements of mystery and suspense in order to forge a riveting tale sure to keep readers guessing until the very end. Furthermore, in Hammond, Wilson has crafted quite the sentimental protagonist: a flawed, yet courageous fighter who insists on seeing justice come to those who deserve it. As such, readers from all walks of life will no doubt relate both to his commitment to personal healing, as well as his impassioned quest for the truth, making Fallen Angel an engrossing, enjoyable read. --Official Apex Review
Product Description
DS Charlie Hammond is back in Westwood General Hospital three years after the tragic loss of his wife, but this time he walks the corridors in different footing. Whereas he once strode as a bereaved soul he now heads the investigation into the murder of four patients. Ward Sister Cate Carter had been in charge of ward 73 for many years, yet the job she had made her existence came crashing down the day Charlie arrived at her office door. Furthermore, finding herself in the middle of a murder investigation and coming to terms with the fact that she and her staff are all suspects becomes a little too much to bear. As evidence runs thin, Charlie uncovers a past case that could just be the lead to his murderer. Yet facts just don't match up, and the case seems impossible to break, until a fluke déjà vu moment leads to the break he s been waiting for.

Believable characters, a great plot and an unexpected twist at the end had me picking up this book at every possible opportunity and going to bed early to read it. An excellent, un-putdownable (if that's a word!) book, that I totally enjoyed and would definitely recommend to other readers. It was a gripping and exciting read, full of suspense and drama, and Maggie is definitely up there with other great crime writers. Loved it! Well done Maggie!
