'Moving, outrageous and outrageously funny' Dawn French

When a toxic hospital consultant dies of a heart attack, fellow doctor Eitan Rose smells foul play. Nobody else does though, including some quite crucial players like the police and the coroner.

But Eitan just won't let it drop, and his friends and colleagues become increasingly concerned about his mental health as his chaotic investigation and equally chaotic life spiral out of control. Is he making a career-ending mistake, or could there genuinely be a killer stalking the wards?

Absolutely adored this and listened in a day. not sure why there are some negative reviews it's a good listen and the storytelling is enjoyable. I personally thought the narrator was fabulous although obviously this can be personal preference.

Another fantastic book.

Smatterings of Adam’s well-known humour, alongside a dark story of hospital skullduggery. Brought to life by Andy Serkis.

A good listen

Such clever writing with brilliant humour that had me in stitches from the get go. Great story line and I didn’t guess the ending either which was a bonus.
I have to mention that this was the best best narrator I have ever listened to and I listen to books everyday. I will be looking for more books with Andy narrating.

Didn’t want it to end!

I loved ' This is going to Hurt' , but disliked Undoctored so much I thought it would be unlikely I would read any more Adam Kay. However, I saw a review and thought, I owed him a 2nd chance, on his 3rd book.

This was from the outset a very funny laugh out loud book, I kept telling my wife, "It's not my type of book, but it is brilliant". A murder mystery with lots of twists and turns, and a character so damaged yet likeable. It also one of those I may now read the printed version, a little further down the line.

Andy Serkis's reading is one of the best performance I have heard from any audiobook, and the writing is pure magic. If the NHS is really like this,(and I think it probably is), we are all doomed.

Thank you, Adam Kay for restoring your faith in me, and yes I may go and re-read Undoctored, perhaps I was in a bad place?

Adan Kay gets a 2nd (3rd) Chance
