If you can't trust a doc with your medical thrillers, who can you trust?
Author and emerg physician Daniel Kalla's newest novel, High Society, hits the shelves next month.
Thank you to Simon & Schuster Canada for my gifted ARC for review!
As a teen, Holly Danvers found relief from grief after the death of her father through ayahuasca treatment, a native plant-based psychedelic therapy in the jungles of Peru.
Now, as a practicing psychologist, Dr. Danvers makes use of pharmaceutical psychedelics in her clients' treatment for addiction.
But during a group session with dual-therapy meds on board, one client has a bad experience and is found dead in her home a short time later.
Followed by another. And another.
High Society is not only a gripping suspense story, but I always enjoy medical elements in thrillers to add reality and science to the unknown.
This is the fifth Kalla novel I've read, and his writing draws me in more every time.
Recommended, and also check out his back list!
For release on May 28.
