Despite a successful career as an Army surgeon and then a plastic surgeon in private practice, Maggie McCabe has recently had a series of devastating experiences that led to her losing her medical license. Now she’s in a dire financial situation and has lost her purpose. Being a doctor was her life.
After running into a colleague, Maggie learns he has a job opportunity for her. That doesn’t seem possible, but he assures her his highly secretive client is very serious about hiring her.
When she agrees to take on this surgery, Maggie finds herself in Russia, in a house that’s so huge and posh that it’s a palace, and her debts have been paid off. But doing this surgery turns out to be the start of more danger than she could have imagined. And that’s saying something, given that she and her husband ran a surgery practice that focused on treating people in some of the most dangerous war zones around the world.
Gone Before Goodbye is a pretty typical thriller, with lots of intrigue, action, and danger. We get a lot of stereotypical characters and situations. But it’s serviceable and entertained me well enough while I did workouts at the gym (I listened to this one on audio, as it happens). The one thing that wasn’t typical was that it’s pretty clean, and I did welcome that.
Rated: Mild. Profanity includes around a dozen instances of moderate profanity and about 35 uses of mild language. Sexual content is minimal; some references to one-night stands. Violence is fairly regular, but nothing is too bloody or gory.
