This is the second installment in the Lucas Page series. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It was, at times, like poetry. The author writes with such intelligence and passion. I’ve read hundreds of mysteries and this one manages to fool me until the very end.

I have read a previous book from the author and really enjoyed it so I was very happy to see this book and was excited to start it and hoped it would be as good as the last. It was just as good, maybe better. I enjoy the cantankerous nature of Dr. Lucas Page and how he sees things that most other people can't see. I don't want to ruin the plot but his skills are very helpful in this investigation. I enjoy following through his logic to his conclusions. A very well written book that ended too soon for me. I look forward to more from Dr. Page and the author.

This was the first Lucas Page novel I’ve read. It will not be the last. Lucas, our protagonist, is a former FBI agent and a college professor. To say he is brilliant is minimizing him. He is also married, his wife an ER surgeon, and the adoptive father to five very diverse children. Oh yes, he also has a prosthetic eye, arm and leg…and a personality to match. In this novel he has been called in by the FBI to look into the accidental, possibly self inflicted and mysterious deaths of approximately 32 physicians in the New York area. He intuits an amazingly complex scheme and works at proving it. It will grab a reader at the onset and simply not let them go and there is some humor thrown in to keep them reading. Thanks to Net Galley and Minotaur Books for an ARC for an honest review.

A solid mystery/thriller. Honestly, not the best, but... well, solid.

I would have given it five stars, but the ending was a bit of a mess. It went on and on with everyone standing around and explaining to each other exactly what had actually happened, and then naturally there were the harm-warming bits of business tossed in just for flavor. All that turned an otherwise good effort into something like an episode of 'Blue Bloods,' and I don't mean that as a compliment.

If there is a 6 out of 5, this would be my rating of Do No Harm.

Lucas finds a pattern in the deaths of doctors while attending a gala with his wife, Erin. When Erin & Lucas become targets things really escalate. How do you stop the attacks? Who is the mastermind behind these deaths?

Dr. Lucas Page's brain and Agent Whitaker's driving skills have all the elements for a heart pounding blockbuster the likes of Steve McQueen in Bullet and Jamie Lee Curtis with Arnold Schwarzenegger in True Lies. Non-Stop action and mass murders masked as accidents and suicides. What's not to love?!?

Do No Harm (Robert Pobi) is the latest Lucas Page story. Dr Page is quite the character. Highly intelligent and his comments left me laughing out loud more than once. I found Do No Harm to be a page turner. I want to thank NetGalley and Minotaur Books for an early copy to review.

I really like this series - It’s a bit brash and unrealistic but each novel sucks you right in with fast-paced twists and turns. Very satisfying! In this installment, Page and his now-sidekick from the FBI, Whitaker, uncover a series of unrelated deaths that turn out to be very, very related. The question is how. Soon, they're in the middle of a dangerous web of murder.
