Felix Francis is following the track his dad, [a:Dick Francis|5561|Dick Francis|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1208830270p2/5561.jpg] made, but in Pulse he's moving, slightly, to new areas. The book still takes place in the horse racing world in England, of course, but the protagonist is female. Since the books are written in first person, that can't have come natural. The female protagonist also suffers from medical problems that are quite gender specific. That is a thin ice to enter for a male author and I don't know if he pulled it off. Seriously, I don't know. As a thriller it's working. A man dies at a racing course, the police thinks it's suicide or an accident but Doctor Chris is convinced there is more to it. Read this review for a peak into what I’d felt about this novel, as well. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2128055341?book_show_action=true&from_... 3 stars, and not really recommended. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

"A smartly dressed man has been found unconscious at the local racecourse and is rushed to the hospital, where he subsequently dies. But who is he? Where does he come from? He had no form of identification on him, and no one claims the body. Doctor Chris Rankin, a specialist who treated the deceased--and who struggles with mental health issues--is intrigued by the nameless dead man, obsessed even, and starts asking questions. However, someone doesn't want the questions answered and will go to any lengths to prevent it, including an attempted murder. But when no one will believe that someone tried to kill Chris, the doctor is left with no option but to discover who the nameless man was and why he died. preferably before following him into an early grave"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

The second half of this novel was definitely better than the first but, I have to say, "Pulse" was definitely not one of my preferred books by this author. ( )
