Deliver Them From Evil is the second medico-legal thriller featuring Camille Delaney written by Amanda DuBois. Released 7th March 2023, it's 336 pages and is available in paperback, audio, and ebook formats. It's worth noting that the ebook format has a handy interactive table of contents as well as interactive links and references throughout. I've really become enamored of ebooks with interactive formats lately.
This is a gritty, fast paced, and well written courtroom drama/thriller. The main protagonist, Camille, is sympathetically rendered and deeply principled. She agrees to take on the wrongful death suit of a mother whose baby died as a result of a horrific labor and delivery. Much of the case feels like taking on "city hall" since the obstetrician and her father have ties to most of the power structure in their area.
The language is occasionally rough and the book includes several graphic on-page descriptions which sensitive readers will likely find moderately horrifying. The subject matter also includes the death of an infant directly related to labor and delivery.
The writing is consistently high quality, but the descriptions, denouement, solution, and resolution are *not* for the faint hearted. Readers should also bring a hefty suspension of disbelief to the read.
Four stars.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
