The Committee Will Kill You Now by JL Lycette is a medical thriller that takes you into the mad world of a hospital residency program. Noah, the protagonist, is a young intern struggling with a tormented past. When a fellow intern dies tragically, Noah stumbles upon a secret involving both the hospital and his deceased father. Back in the 80s, his father was a member of the committee responsible for the first dialysis trials. They basically signed the death sentences of many Americans. His father's lack of ethics and the recent loss led Noah to make a mistake that might have caused the death of a patient, and the hospital accuses him of making a mistake he didn't commit. All this causes a surge of doubts about his role as a physician.
The Committee Will Kill You Now is a gripping medical thriller with well-rounded characters that seize your attention from the start. Noah, the main character, is someone to root for, and Marah's strength and intelligence are refreshing until they aren’t. Author JL Lycette, a physician herself, doesn't shy away from difficult questions about medical ethics and the pressures physicians have to endure when practising their profession. The most impactful scene for me, as a woman, was the one inside the O.R. when Andrews asks what Marah is wearing under her scrubs. Overall, I recommend The Committee Will Kill You Now to anyone who enjoys a good medical thriller with a thought-provoking twist.
