In Abigail Moyer's One of My Patients Is a Vampire, Dr. Ian Greyson keeps a psychiatric practice in Hershey, Pennsylvania, where his ordered routines begin breaking after a boy warns him that one of his patients may be a vampire. When a forensic psychiatrist is found near Ian’s office with two wounds in his neck and the blood gone from his body, police fear the killer may already be inside Ian’s appointment book. Their suspicion turns toward Alexandra Abrams, a former neurosurgeon once accused of killing her daughter in a house fire. Alexandra has missing hours she cannot explain, a medical history she cannot trust, and a memory catalyst effect even she cannot understand. Ian must decide whether she is a patient, a suspect, or the only person who can lead him to the truth.
Abigail Moyer’s One of My Patients Is a Vampire blends mystery and brilliant medical gothic suspense, and has been the delight of my summer so far! Ian, for all his awkwardness, is likeable. He's quite a patient doctor and level-headed, until someone climbs on his lap, which I forgave quickly, and is fair enough not to take accusations at face value. The real star here is Alexandra, who can waltz in with a cobalt-blue trench coat and single-handedly save a man from a mauling cat. The transition to her story is fast-paced, and Moyer doesn't make us wait long to get an idea of who we are riding along with. There are flashes of real sizzle that are well done, and the settings become as much a part of the story as the characters. Moyer depicts them with panache, from a renovated church with a waterfall room for experimental therapy to a mansion greenhouse that turns rosemary beside lethal belladonna into an omen. Readers who enjoy supernatural mysteries with some heat will adore this book. Very highly recommended.
