DEADLY PRACTICE
by Christine Green
When Riverview Medical Centre nurse Jenny Martin is found dead in the trunk of her burned-out car, ever-practical nurse- investigator Kate Kinsella (Deadly Admirer, 1994, etc.) hopes it'll mean a chance to fill her shoes. Actually, it's a chance to follow their tracks on behalf of a series of increasingly dissatisfied clients (the first will end up brain-dead, the second dead all over), as Kate tries to get Jenny, her missing friend Teresa Haverall, and Dr. Charles Amroth's estranged wife Helena to fit into their proper places in a tangled plot of adultery and murder. Kate, who's as appealingly wry as ever, deserves better than this who's-on-the-first-bed puzzle.
