Book 1 in the Adele Monsarrat Mystery Thriller Series (Revised 2025)

Adele Monsarrat is a dedicated nurse on Ellis Hospital's infamous Ward 8 where anything can happen—and usually does. But when sweet young Chloe, everyone's favorite nurse, dies in the recovery room after a routine appendectomy, Adele is the first to suspect murder. It's the third traumatic death among the hospital staff in a year, and Adele is certain that one of her coworkers is behind the onslaught. But who in this high-pressure workplace bears the mark of true madness? A born crime solver, Adele begins investigating with the help of Cynthia O'Neil, her humorously eccentric best friend, and Nelson, her vegetarian labrador. When the ritualistic murders escalate, and possible suspects begin adding up, terror spreads throughout the hospital staff. Meanwhile, a psychotic killer watches and waits . . .
