KNIFE MUSIC by David Carnoy, 2008.

A decent medical/legal thriller that kept me turning the pages. In sunny California, successful doctor saves a young girl's life in the OR after she has a car accident, and then some months later, she commits suicide.Why? Kristen Kroiter was only 17 when she killed herself. Police detectives, including the handicapped Hank Madden, question Dr. Ted Cogan about Kristen, asking some very personal questions about their relationship. It seems Kristen left a journal with some very intimate passages in it concerning him. What? The doctor, who has a reputation as a womanizer, is in a lot of trouble. But just who is the victim here? Broken relationships, trust, frat parties, drunkenness, jealousy, and fantasizing all play a part in this twisting story. At times somewhat intense and certainly suspenseful, with several plot twists, I found this a good and entertaining read.
