Are you in the mood for a murder mystery? Check out A Pre-Med(itated) Murder. It was a great book and a fun time.

The premise of this was really fun - a third year med student has just started her surgical rotation and is navigating this new environment, when there is a murder at the hospital.

There is a lot of world building in this book which was quite interesting, although I did feel like it made for a slow pace for the first 45% of the book. The setting however was really interesting, and very different to anything else I have read. Once the mystery starts to unfold, things start to pick up - all leading to a dramatic finale.

I did not feel as connected to the characters as I would have liked, but this was a fun short read.

Thank you NetGalley and Amplify Publishing Group for the eARC.
Neena is a 3rd-year medical student working hard on becoming a qualified doctor, studying all her free hours and not getting enough sleep or decent meals. But it's all worth it to her.
Her world and that of her student group is upended by finding a dead body ... not that of a patient, but caused by murder.
As a lover of puzzles she's soon investigating this murder along with her group.
This was a fun and interesting story (I did thank my lucky stars I never wanted to be a doctor, wow, what a hard road to follow!) and I really liked Neena a lot.

I love how Niru really focused on character development and the world building. From the first chapter, I was drawn in. I kept second guessing who the murderer was, but I also was reminded of when I was in nursing school. (I changed majors in the end), but it was sort of a throw back for me! One thing you hardly see in books is culture really represented and as other reviewers have said, it was nice to see that!

this was a really good book !I love a thriller and mystery and this setting being in a hospital was a cool twist! I do think there were quite a bit of unrealistic scenarios going on with a bunch of luckily not available evidence, but it was good!!

Thank you to NetGalley, to the author, and to the publisher for this complimentary ARC in exchange for my honest review!!!
