The Operation by Dylan Young

Dr. Jacob Thorn is an excellent surgeon. He takes good care of his patients, teaches budding physicians and is there to assist the nurses. He doesn’t always see eye to eye with the administration but does his best not to make waves. When he is suddenly drug into a missing person investigation, he is not terribly worried since he knows he is not involved and; when he starts receiving images of the missing woman and is confronted with a case that went wrong in the past...a case with his signature on it...but one he cannot remember...he wonders what is really going on.

As a nurse and the daughter and sister of physicians this book hit close to home. I could relate to the issues Jacob was facing at work and also those he was facing in his private life. I worried about him and wondered what was really happening and why. I was intrigued and kept reading to find out what would happen. I didn’t foresee all of the twists and turns and where they would lead and doubt that Jacob did either.

What I liked:
* The story – it was a humdinger
* The eventual resolution
* Sid the dog and his friend Lulu
* Ella and her son – so much a better fit for Jacob than the woman he had been with
* Jacob’s tenacity

What I did not like:
* Social media – it played a part in the book that made me cringe
* Sarah – seemed cold and rather callous
* The baddie – actions of this person were heinous and self-serving
* Those seeking revenge – they did not have the true facts

Did I like this book? Definitely
Would I read more by this author? Without a doubt

Thank you to Bloodhound Books, BOTBS and the author for the ARC – This is my honest review.
