I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is a hearbreaking story told with wit and empathy. The characters are engaging and each one brings something to cherish as they say goodbye to Rabbit. There are no unspeakable people, just a circle of family and friends on an unchartered journey. There are lessons to be learned from this family's grace and humor. The book resonated with me as I lost a sister to cancer. It rang true for the upheaval in emotions and the need for family to circle their wagons.

The book is an easy, engaging read. I found the medical aspects interesting and would think that it would speak to anyone in the medical field. I was expecting more around ethical dilemmas and would have liked to see a stronger case for why the murderer was so strident about safety. The politics and complexities of the medical arena rang true. The lingering question that I continued to consider was who truly did the right thing and was guided by a strong moral code? Not necessarily the main character.
I would recommend this book to readers who enjoy mysteries and those with an interest in medical issues.
