The Kelso-McIvey rehabilitation center is a place of hope and healing for both its patients and dedicated staff. For its directors, it's a lifelong dream that's about to be destroyed, if David McIvey has his way. A brilliant surgeon whose ego rivals his skill with a scalpel, McIvey now has controlling shares in what has always been a nonprofit clinic. His plan is to close the clinic and replace it with a massive new surgery center, with himself at the helm. Since he is poised to desecrate the dreams of so many, it's not surprising to anyone, especially Oregon lawyer Barbara Holloway, that somebody dares to stop him--in cold blood. When David McIvey is murdered outside the clinic's doors early one morning, Barbara must once again use her razor-sharp instincts and take-no-prisoners attitude to create a defense for the two members of the clinic accused of his murder. In her most perplexing case yet, Barbara is forced to explore the darkest places people can hide--the soul beneath the skin.

From AudioFile

Anna Fields reads Wilhelm's entertaining murder mystery in a low-key style. The story's setting, a rehabilitation clinic in Oregon, seems innocent enough, but it turns out that everyone has reason to hate Dr. David McIvey, and someone finally kills him. The book excels because of the depth of Wilhelm's character development. Fields picks up on this strength, using changes in tone and style to give each character a unique personality, particularly the women, who hate McIvey for personal or professional reasons, or both. Although most of the book is well developed, the ending is less than satisfying, requiring more than a little credibility stretch and tarnishing an otherwise satisfying novel, as well as Fields's performance.
