Eyes Wide Open - Giveaway and Review

Jay Erlich is a prominent vascular surgeon in New York. He has what most would call a dream life, a wife, kids and the ability to go where he would like without really worrying about money. His marriage is solid with his wife, Kathy, a veterinarian with a busy practice. If you ask Jay, he considers himself lucky. Not by the standards we would expect, but because he didn't wind up like his brother Charlie.

Charlie has been diagnosed with being bi-polar and lives a meager existence on the coast of San Luis Obispo, along with his wife, Gabriella and son, Evan who have also managed to be bi-polar as well. So while they manage to scrap by on whatever the state allows, they do need help from Jay to make ends meet or to help when their car no longer runs.

On the eve on Jay and Kathy's anniversary celebration at the beach, Jay gets a phone call from Gabby that Evan is dead from an apparent suicide attempt. However when Jay arrives, he finds the circumstances surrounding Evan's death now seem to point to medical negligence and possible murder.

In the latest suspense novel, Eyes Wide Open by Andrew Gross, a doctor soon finds himself in the middle of something he never dreamed he would and will test his ability as both a brother and as a husband. Drawing on two real life experiences from his own past, Gross has crafted a richly personal, yet utterly terrifying tale of two brothers, one successful, one wayward, trying to bridge the gap of what tore them apart.

I received this book compliments of William Morrow, a division of Harper Collins Publishers for my honest review. This book is a crime, suspense thriller that will leaving you hanging by a thread til the very end. I would rate this book a 4.5 out of 5 stars just based on the way it holds the readers interest all the way through the book. I was hoping for a bit more suspense but was not disappointed in the way the story was told and can't wait for the sequel on this one!!!
