About this ebook

Readers of J. T. Ellison and Tess Gerritsen will be enthralled by Do No Harm, by real-life small-town doctor and national bestselling author Dawn Eastman.

Small-town doctor Katie LeClair is drawn back into an old murder investigation, a mysterious disappearance, and a dark undercurrent of violence.

The idyllic town of Baxter, Michigan, seemed like the perfect place for Dr. Katie LeClair to settle down after years toiling in medical school—until the murder of a patient shattered the peace she had found. Now on the mend and balancing the responsibilities of a new house and the joys of a new romance, Katie is finally ready to start enjoying life. But danger arrives just as the town is gearing up for its annual Halloween festival—and once again, this doctor-turned-sleuth will have to unmask a killer in their midst.

Trouble comes in threes this Halloween. Katie sees a new patient who has just been released from prison for a murder he says he didn’t commit. Inexplicably, the patient suddenly goes missing. And matters take an even more sinister turn when a college student who had been investigating Katie’s old murder case is found dead in the woods near Baxter.

Could Katie’s involvement with the case be responsible for the student’s violent death? Is her new patient truly a cold-blooded murderer? Is this Halloween about to become a real-life horror show? Katie embarks on a desperate race to find the truth in Do No Harm, the second gripping Dr. Katie LeClair mystery.

Ratings and reviews

Eugene Lowe has just returned to his home town after being gone 10 years ... he was in prison for manslaughter. He has always professed his innocence and the town has been split between those who believed he was guilty and those who thought he was innocent. Within a month after he was released from prison, another girl is found dead ...less than half a mile from where Eugene is living with his mother. The young victim was a college student looking into Eugene's case. Her father was a police officer at the time of the original murder and she was following her father's notes. He, too, believed in Eugene's innocence. And then a third goes missing, along with her infant daughter. Eugene is being hassled by local residents and after having been beaten shows up in her clinic. The form a sort-of friendship, but then he goes missing. Is he missing because he knows the police will be after him? Or has something happened to him to keep him away? Katie and her boyfriend, Matt, and her brother Caleb start looking into the cases of the missing and murdered women. They go back to the very beginning and start looking at interviews, looking for any discrepancy. Katie undertakes a fast and furious race to save the one missing woman before she, too, is killed. Although this is Book 2, it is easily read as a stand alone. Somewhat suspenseful, it's more of a mystery, and more than a cozy. The characters are solidly defined and unforgettable. The one anomaly I find is that although Katie has no problem jumping in and confronting possible killers, she doesn't have the gumption to face down the lady tyrant who runs the yearly parade in their small town. Many thanks to the author / Crooked Lane Books / Netgalley for the digital copy of DO NO HARM. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.
