Praise for this book
Death by Placebo by Nelson K. Foley was an intense medical thriller that captivated me immediately. The storyline moved quickly, and I could not turn the pages fast enough. The writing style was compelling, and the tension kept me fully absorbed. The detailed descriptions made it easy to feel involved in all the preparations. The characters were well-crafted and relatable. Rachmanil was extremely self-serving and would do anything to secure the liver he believed he was entitled to. The chemistry between Andrea and Danica offered a refreshing distraction amidst all the planning related to the transplant. The story was excellently written and maintained my focus throughout. The conclusion, featuring a significant twist, took me completely by surprise and was something I never anticipated.
