About this listen
Dr. Rhea Lynch left a suffocating life in Charleston to practice medicine in the ER of a small South Carolina Hospital. Now, Dawkins County is her home, a place that holds the only real family she's ever known.
But when she returns from vacation, Rhea is shocked to discover that her best friend, Marisa, is near death and unable to communicate. The official diagnosis: a paralyzing stroke. Despite the family's attempts to keep her away, Rhea is determined to make her own diagnosis.
In a surreptitious examination, a hideous truth is revealed. Then a man is brought into her ER with similar symptoms. And then another. Each one of her patients has been willfully, brutally, silenced in a most inhuman way. Desperate to find answers, Rhea must determine who she can trust, as a powerful conspiracy threatens the people she loves - and perhaps the entire community.

Editor reviews
All the professional calm that Dr. Rhea Lynch learned in medical school deserts her when her closest friend suffers what appears to be a catastrophic stroke. Soon, Dr. Lynch learns that the stroke is more mysterious than it appears, especially when other patients start coming in to the ER of her small South Carolina hospital with all the same symptoms. Will she be able to find the real culprit in time? This is a fast-paced medical mystery skillfully narrated by performer Carol Hendrickson, who does an excellent and enjoyable South Carolina accent. Listeners who love feisty female heroines, medical mysteries, and tightly-plotted thrillers will enjoy this first installment of the Rhea Lynch series.

Definitely a medical procedure
Not normally my cup of tea but I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is definitely a medical procedure with lots of technical information but all within the story context.
Although the narration was a little annoying, I will be getting book 2.

First story in an interesting series
If you could sum up Delayed Diagnosis in three words, what would they be?
Entertaining listening
Any additional comments?
Several years ago I read the second and third books in this series but never got hold of the first and so when I found it on audible I bought it and thoroughly enjoyed it. Parts stretch credulity a bit but it was very entertaining and I went on to buy the rest of the series. If you like family stories with a mystery turn based round a medical theme you will enjoy this.

Good entertaining novel
Would you listen to Delayed Diagnosis again? Why?
Probably would listen to the book again I thought it was quite an interesting story and quite gripping towards the end. First of a series and I am now half way through the second despite the narrator see below
What was one of the most memorable moments of Delayed Diagnosis?
Hard to say without giving too much away but the whole book was a bit different I don't normally read medical detective stories but the detail is quite believable I am not medically qualified though so a real medical person might disagree
How could the performance have been better?
Yes I didn't like the narration at all which is a shame far too urgent I don't think the voice fitted the character at all.
Any additional comments?
Good introduction to a series I will be listening to the others

Enjoyable listen
Carl Hendrickson, whilst has the southern belle voice is a little to high pitched and quick.
That for me was a medical thriller that belongs up there with Kay Scarpetta and Bones. Loved the characters, loved the storyline which in this currently competitive and cut throat society was entirely believable. I want more on the possible relationship between Mark and Rhea, that could be scorching!
Off to find book 2, I need my dose of Belle and the blonde puppy!

So hard to listen too
If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?
I have no idea it was really difficult to listen to
What could Gwen Hunter have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Asked someone else to narate it
How did the narrator detract from the book?
For me it was dredful
Any additional comments?
I bought this from the sale option which did not offer a sound sample - if I had listend to the narator I would not have downloaded it - very dissapointed
