Dr. Samantha Owens

review 1: This was my first experience with J.T. Ellison. The story, which features Dr. Samantha Owens, a pathologist from Nashville, started off a bit slowly and I wasn't sure I'd like it. Samantha has experienced a personal tragedy in her life, something that is only alluded to, but it has made her OCd (hand washing and more hand washing) and also a personal wreck. A family friend, the mother of her first love, has asked her to come to Washington, DC to examine the remains of her son as Emily thinks there is more to his murder than the police seem to think. During this trip, Sam has to confront her past and her demons as she is dragged into a possible military cover-up and other related murders. Once the story gets going, it's hard to put down, lots of tension and well-described a... morection. The story moves along at high pace and I grew to like the main characters, even Sam, with all of her issues. The story resolved itself very nicely, although in some ways I had hoped for a different personal result, but ultimately it was satisfying. A pleasant surprise. She has written others in the Sam Owens series and also other series, including those featuring Sam Owen's police officer friend, Taylor Jackson, which I think I'll also try. Worth reading for sure.
review 2: This was a good read for me and my first J.T. Ellison, as well. The characters were real and well developed. I enjoyed the imagery...both spatial and emotional. Sam is a very intriguing character...strong but damaged. The first half was slower since I had to get used to the POV constantly changing. This is just an author style issue and is expected when reading an author who is new to me. By 60% things really pick up and there is better flow. I love Xander, of course, and would like more details on their relationship as the series continues. less
