Medicus is a thrilling revenge story of a wife who won't let a giant corporation walk all over her the way they did to her husband.
The wife is Lisa Parmenter, whose husband is tragically killed in the opening scene of the book. After her shock wears off, she works to discover what happened to her husband, and how. Her investigation leads her down a path of revenge, and how her life is affected by carrying out that revenge.
A good part of the story is shown from the perspective of the many corporate leaders who are trying to keep Lisa in check. A key word here is "many". At the beginning, there are so many board room names thrown around making it difficult to keep track of who is who. In the end, it seemed like only two of them were really important and the rest were just kind of 'there'. In the beginning of the story, the perspective of the corporate leaders is valuable in showing why Lisa is seeking revenge, but by the end of the story it drags on and becomes a bit boring. There's a lot of talk of a merger, which as I read I couldn't ever get myself to care about.
Lisa's story is what really shines through here. Some of the events are too coincidental to believe, with some things just working out too easily for her, but ultimately everything in her story fits and makes sense and makes for a thrilling read.
Rating 3/5
