I tried to read this one and just had to DNF it about 20% in. It was like a bad gray's anatomy episode. Just not my thing but best of luck.

Just loved it. Superbly written thriller. Lots of twisty plots and suspicious characters, I was guessing the whole time. Didn't expect the end though. I liked Jameson and Chloe both. I suspected both many times throughout the book. The ending was brilliant. Highly recommended for mystery thriller fans.

I so enjoyed this book! I will be looking for other books by this author. I read this in one sitting and it had me on the edge of my seat. I thought I had it figured out and boy, was I wrong!! I would definitely recommend this book!

The Good Doctor was a well done slow burn thriller. The action started out slowly, told in dual timelines past and present, but there was an underlying tension built up from the very beginning. I was on the edge of my seat by the halfway point. I enjoyed that the medical aspects seemed well researched as well. Definitely recommend this to anyone who is a fan of thrillers or medical dramas!

Chloe has everything she's ever wanted. She's engaged to Elton, she has a job as a nurse practitioner at a hospital in Portland, and she and Elton have bought a house. All seems to be going well for Elton and Chloe, right? On Chloe's first day of orientation at the hospital she notices someone standing with their back to her. It can't be him, can it? Chloe's ex-husband Jameson works at the same hospital she just accepted a job from and to make it worse, she'll be working directly with Jameson!

Unexpected deaths keep happening and Chloe thinks it's happening again. She left Jameson for a reason and the reason is her brother's death. Is Jameson capable of killing people? Is he a serial killer? Chloe had to run after what she saw with her brother, Nathan. She left her wedding ring with a note to Jameson. She became a traveling nurse to avoid contact with anyone. That's when she met Elton. She fell in love with his positive attitude and gentle spirit. Why when they finally decide to settle down and get a home does she run into her ex?

Elton is jealous of Chloe working with Jameson. Chloe tries to reassure him that nothing is happening between them but she's working late, going in early, and caught with him too often. Chloe doesn't want to let Elton know what she believes Jameson to be, but that's causing problems between them. Will Chloe prove that Jameson is a serial killer? Will Chloe and Elton live happily ever after? Will Jameson's twin sister cause problems? Could she be the killer? Is someone following Chloe? Is Chloe safe?

Jessica Payne does an outstanding job of building the suspense until it's so crazy you have to keep reading deep into the night! The Good Doctor is a fantastic thriller that will keep the reader flipping the pages no matter what time of day or night it is! I give The Good Doctor 5 stars and my very highest recommendation! The Good Doctor is available to purchase now and I recommend that you buy it and read it very soon! I'd like to thank NetGalley and Bookouture for an advanced copy of The Good Doctor in exchange for a fair review! #TheGoodDoctor

This was excellent! It was the perfect amount of psychological creepiness for a thriller. Kept me guessing until the very end.

Jessica delivers on another tense and suspenseful thriller. This one is marketed as "Grey's Anatomy with murder" and I feel like that's a pretty accurate description. I always enjoy when thrillers have a medical aspect to them so this was a fun read. I look forward to more from Jessica!

The Good Doctor by Jessica Payne was a gripping psychological medical thriller for start to finish. I was hooked from the start especially as it was a great page turner, with lots of twists and turns that was filled with suspense and tension throughout, once I started to read it I could not put this book down. If you love a Medical drama i.e. Grey’s Anatomy this is a book for you especially as it has a great twist - murder in your workplace!

I highly recommend this book and a great holiday read. 5 star read.

Big Thank you to Netgalley and Bookatoure for the arc in exchange for my honest review

Jessica Payne does it again!!
Just finished this ARC last night in one sitting. I lost sleep but it was worth it!
A medical serial killer... like Grey's Anatomy but with murder, yes please!
4/5 stars - Only because nothing of hers can compare to The Lucky One - also by Jessica Payne... so if you haven't read that one, go read it now, while you wait on next Wednesday to come along!
Go ahead and add June 14th to your calendar and grab this fun and twisty ride when it is released!

4.5 stars

This is one of my favorite reads for 2023! This fast-paced thriller kept me guessing and turning the pages. I liked the dual timeline, as well as the fact that the twists kept coming! It was interesting to find out the motive behind the characters' actions. There's a lot of attention to detail when it comes to the medical angle. Some parts were a bit predictable, but this was an engaging read overall, and I look forward to reading other books by this author.

This book was quite good but really struggled to like or engage with the main character. I felt it dragged at some points but it picked up towards the end

Jessica Payne has done it again. The Good Doctor is a gripping, fast paced, twisty story that I just could not put down. I highly recommend it.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for my ARC.

The good doctor is my first by Jessica Payne and definitely not my last. A tense hooked from the first page book.you’ll literally stay up all night to see what curve balls you get thrown. I love stories that have twists and turns and make you second and third guess what is going on and the good doctor is this and more!

Jessica Payne has done it again! The Good Doctor is a twisty thriller that will keep you rearranging pieces of the puzzle trying to figure out what’s next. It’s impossible to put down. I stayed up hours past bedtime, then woke up the next morning unable to do anything else until I finished the story. I was finished in less than 24 hours with this one.

I loved that this story leaned into the medical world. As a nurse myself it felt very real, with a great twist for thriller fiction.

You do not want to miss this book!

Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for this advanced copy!

I loved this one. Utterly compulsive (I expect no less from Jessica Payne) and constant twists to keep you reading at any available opportunity!
Some of the scenes literally made me gasp, they were suspenseful, dramatic and shocking.
I did suspect some of the ending, but it hasn't detracted from the level of entertainment this book provided me. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I'm already looking forward to the next book!

After spending a few years moving from nursing job to nursing job, Nurse Practitioner Chloe and fiance Elton decide to move to Portland. They have bought a house and have jobs. On her first morning she is shocked to find the doctor she is working with is her ex husband who she left due to events she would rather forget. He could destroy her new life. However with all they have invested in the move she decides to sick it out. But why do more of Jameson's patients die than others. The story is told through Chloe and Jameson's point of view. To be honest I struggled to find either of them very plausible. Jameson seemed to me both controlling and a bit pathetic. Chloe switched from being a shrinking violet to foolhardy.

I know I am probably in a minority here but for me this book did not live up to expectations. The premise was good but failed on the characters, which, for me are the most important part. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for letting me read and review this book.

After witnessing your ex husbands treatment of your brother you leave him and that life behind. You're now happily engaged, living in your dream home and have been offered the perfect career. It's your first day in the ICU at Portland General and shock, horror when you arrive you find yourself working alongside Jameson, the ex husband.

Man, I thought I'd cracked it and then Payne threw in another twist that blasted my theory apart. What a cracking read The Good Doctor turned out to be, fast paced, compulsive and absolutely gripping. The chapters were relatively short, so I flew through the book in an afternoon.

This is the third of Payne's books I've read and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.

The Good Doctor is a brilliant psychological thriller that’s filled with suspense and tension. So much so that by the time I had finished reading it my nerves were frayed ! As soon as I began reading this book I just knew it was going to be a really good read and it certainly was that. All my theories of what was going on proved to be incorrect but as I always say that’s the sign of a good author if I can’t predict the outcome. So if you enjoy psychological thrillers and especially those with a medical background then I wholeheartedly recommend this book. 4⭐️

WOW! WOW! WOW! This was my first book by this author and it won’t be my last. Great psychological thriller about a nurse who is married at one time to a doctor. She starts noticing an increase in deaths in her unit and begins investigating. So many twist and turns! I don’t want to give away any spoilers. Great character development and the story ends with ALL the questions answered. Author did a great job of depicting healthcare and nursing realistically

Thanks to Netgalley, the author and the publisher for allowing me to read this ARC
