The Dr. Cathy Moreland Mysteries Books One to Three

📖 The Scoop

The first three novels in the series, featuring a physician in the British countryside who knows all too well that death isn’t always from natural causes . . .

This three-in-one murder mystery collection, written by a former practicing physician praised for her “great characters” (Peter Boon, author of Who Killed Miss Finch?), includes:

Death by Appointment

Dr. Cathy Moreland needs time to heal, having recently been diagnosed with bipolar disorder while struggling with a painkiller habit. A village on Scotland’s coast promises respite, but after Cathy attempts to get an opiate prescription, things don’t go well—and when she discovers the body of a fellow doctor, her sanctuary is shattered.

Murder & Malpractice

Returning to work after battling mental health challenges, Dr. Cathy Moreland finds her surgery in the British countryside simmering, as usual, with tensions. One doctor struggles to keep up with the changes in the medical field; another, ambitious and aggressive, is romantically entangled with a nurse. The newest arrival, a pharmacist, seems very competent—but his behaviour is mysterious. When one of them dies after drinking a cup of coffee, the practice is thrown into chaos. Circumstances seem to point toward one partner—but Cathy intends to examine the evidence more closely . . .

Deadly Diagnosis

As Betty Scott is dying, she warns Dr. Cathy Moreland that danger lurks at the charity shop where she volunteers. But the only clue she provides is a reference to the now-derelict psychiatric hospital called Fernibanks. Then Betty is found dead—but not from natural causes—and Cathy is compelled to investigate . . .
