Review of Bless Your Heart

[Following is a volunteer review of "Bless Your Heart" by Susann Camus.]
Bless Your Heart: A Jeannie Johal Thriller by Susann Camus is the second book in this series. From my experience, I would say that reading the first book, See Me, before reading this one would be helpful. The prologue of this book was very captivating, and it was the reason I decided to read both books.
Jeannie Johal worked as a plastic surgeon in India and later as a quality improvement consultant in a hospital system under Dr. Beatrix Bach in Vancouver. As per the instructions from her boss, Dr. Bach, Jeannie was sent to Greenville as a healthcare researcher to assist Dr. Norma Dunn with her research on obesity and type 2 diabetes, a project in collaboration with a pharmaceutical company called WellStar Pharmaceuticals. Dr. Bach and Dr. Dunn were best friends from the time they worked together in Afghanistan. Dr. Dunn believes that someone is trying to sabotage the results of her research, and she needs help to resolve that.
The things waiting for Jeannie in Greenville were beyond her imagination. On the very first day of her new job, someone murders Dr. Dunn, and Jeannie was the last one in the office to see her alive. Not only that, but a few days later, the receptionist who works for Dr. Dunn also gets hospitalized due to poisoning. The responsibility of the project is now shared by Jeannie and Frank, the project manager who was last seen shouting at Dr. Dunn. The information connected to the project seems extremely important and dangerous. With no one to trust in this new place, Jeannie is left to find out why the data is being manipulated before the problem escalates further.
The book was an absolute thriller. I very much enjoyed reading it. The book is fast-paced, and it also covers the basic information one should know about the first book. There were many hints in the book that kept me wondering who the real killer was. The story is narrated in a third-person POV, and it was helpful because it increased the overall curiosity since we get to know not just one side of the story. The writing was clear, and the suspense was maintained from start to end.
Jeannie is portrayed as a professional and kind person who genuinely tries to do the right thing. Every character in this book played an important role. The medical and research details, like how a medical study is conducted and how it is recorded, were explained clearly, and it was easy to follow. The author also includes situations that show societal issues, like sexism and racism.
At the end, the confrontation with the villain felt a bit abrupt to me. I was expecting a little more drama, even though it didn't affect my overall enjoyment of the book. The book is professionally edited. I only found one error while reading.
My overall experience with this book was positive. So, I'm rating this book 5 out of 5. I don't have any dislikes about this book. I recommend this book to readers who enjoy reading medical thrillers.
