Review: 212

212 by Alafair Burke My rating: 3 of 5 stars A nice easy read in the familiar territory of a police drama with enough personal life to give it depth. When mentally taxing tasks dominate the schedule, this is the kind of ebook to read. View all my reviews

A new year, another new doctor. The first thing my new specialist said as soon as I sat down was: I know what your problem is. Pause. You have physician fatigue. No kidding. Astute.
