Sometimes People Die is the latest book from one of our favourite authors Simon Stephenson and it’s an absolutely compelling read.

The year is 1999. Returning to practice after a suspension for stealing opioids, a young Scottish doctor takes the only job he can find: a post as a senior house officer in the struggling east London hospital of St Luke’s.

Amid the maelstrom of sick patients, overworked staff and underfunded wards a darker secret soon declares itself: too many patients are dying.

Which of the medical professionals our protagonist has encountered is behind the murders? And can our unnamed narrator’s version of the events be trusted?

Sometimes People Die is one of those books you pick up and you don’t put down until you’ve finished it. As you become consumed by it, feverously turning the pages to find out what happens next.

What makes it so compelling is not just the story but quite quickly you find yourself doubting if you can actually trust the narrator of the story and if their version of events that are unfolding at St Lukes is actually accurate. It adds an unusual twist to the narrative, which Simon tells masterfully.
