Review of Bless Your Heart

[Following is a volunteer review of "Bless Your Heart" by Susann Camus.]
Bless Your Heart by Susann Camus is a Dr. Jeannie Johal thriller. Dr. Johal lives in Canada and works as an epidemiologist. Her boss, Dr. Beatrix Bach, decides that Jeannie should help Dr. Norma Dunn with a problem she is having with data in her research project.
Jeannie travels to Greenville, North Carolina, to assist Dr. Dunn in discovering why her research data is not adding up properly. The research program involves overweight females with diabetes. The goal is to help and teach the women proper nutrition and exercise, in addition to medication blind study trials. Dr. Johal saves the son of the governor mid-flight to North Carolina, earning his trust and indebtedness. On Jeannie’s first day of work, on returning from lunch in the nearby arboretum, she finds that her boss has died. Not only has she died, but she has been murdered by poison. More than one person is unhappy with Jeannie, an outsider, being brought in to work on the project, which in turn puts her in danger.
This novel has several components that bring mystery and thrills. The arboretum introduces multiple possibilities of poisoning. There is a murder at the detention center next door to the health center. Does it have anything to do with Dr. Dunn’s murder? Moms for Liberty and Proud Patriots are operating in Greenville. Racism and anti-immigration resentments could be endangering Jeannie, an Indian immigrant. The small-town mentality of everyone knowing everyone’s business is also prevalent in this story.
I enjoyed this book, which is flawlessly edited. The characters were believable and relatable. The only thing I felt was lacking in the book was towards the end. It seems too abrupt, and some things are not expanded on enough. I can’t specify without giving away the ending. Everything is tied together cohesively in the end, but some things are a little vague.
I am rating Bless Your Heart5 out of 5 stars. The book touches on political, medical, and societal topics in thought-provoking ways. I recommend it.
