Description:
Dr. Lilly Reeves is a young, accomplished ER physician
with her whole life ahead of her. But that life instantly changes when
she becomes the fifth victim of a serial rapist. Believing it's the only
way to recover her reputation and secure peace for herself, Lilly sets
out to find--and punish--her assailant. Sporting a mysterious tattoo and
unusually colored eyes, the rapist should be easy to identify. He even
leaves what police would consider solid evidence. But when Lilly
believes she has found him, DNA testing clears him as a suspect. How can
she prove he is guilty, if science says he is not?
Review:
Proof is an edgy novel full of cat and mouse
intrigue and weird medical quirks. It is also full of intense action and
issues. I’m definitely fascinated enough to follow the rest of the
series as the books are released. I love medical, legal
and police procedural fiction and this one is full of these elements.
I work in the medical field so much of the medical jargon was common
daily stuff for me. However, I could see it being a frustration to
anyone who doesn’t care for medspeak. I was introduced
to a condition that I’ve never encountered before and it was
fascinating to read about.
I did have a bit of a struggle getting into
the characters and their relationships, and with all the crisis and
drama that unfolded I had some believability issues. However,
this book is well written and a fast, intense read. Redwood
had to put a tremendous amount of research into this novel. Impressive
research. From police procedures, to legal posturing, handling firearms,
science and medicine I can't even guess how many hours she invested.
Proof is a great escapist read and will appeal
to crime fiction lovers and medical novel junkies. I will caution the
more sensitive readers, though. If you like your Christian fiction to be
uplifting and gentle, you might want to look
elsewhere. The subject matter in Proof is definitely PG-13 and might
classify as R in some circles.
