From #1 New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden comes an electrifying medical thriller, Dead Med, originally published as Suicide Med.
“All I can think about is how pathetic it would be to die in the anatomy lab. The last thing I want is to become one of the dead bodies.”
When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs.
But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.
Everyone has a breaking point.
Then, on the night before the final exam in anatomy, a shot rings out through the hallways of Dead Med.
The school has claimed yet another casualty. One of Heather’s classmates has done the unthinkable, and before her desperate 911 call even connects, it will happen again.
And the night is just beginning.
Please note that Dead Med was originally published as Suicide Med. Dead Med is a revision with 20% new material.

Imagine if the âfastest selling thriller writer in the United Statesâ, author of 23 books with more than six millions copies sold, went back to extensively revise her debut thriller – The multi-award winner author of today editing and extensively revising the book self-published ten years ago by an eager, more naive author who hoped maybe a thousand people would read it.Five students at DeWitt Medical School, from the first day to the final exam. Each of their stories is told in a separate first-person chunk, leading up to the finale.Itâs a good story, Dead Med is infamous for the student death rate, suspected overdoses, students who struggled with the challenging syllabus, schedule and exam pressures. How will these five students cope?Five distinct personalities, each with ambitions, quirks and fully developed characters. The structure of five parallel stories works brilliantly as they criss cross and overlap, the reader sees some of the events from multiple perspectives. The strands weave together more tightly the more we find out.Dead Med is a major revision of Freida McFaddenâs first thriller, which was self-published nearly ten years ago. Those ten years have seen Freida McFadden rise to be an internationally bestselling author and as fans crack binge on everything she has ever written Dead Med now fits in seamlessly with her newer thrillers.The changes are obvious, one of the biggest most memorable shocks from the debut thriller has been removed and this is a much slicker, more balanced and nuanced novel.Itâs a crafted character-driven thriller building towards the finale through the five parallel strands, Freidaâs character writing and dry humour still shine. Donât expect a twist-after-twist rollercoaster like Never Lie, The Teacher or The Housemaid, but this still a great story expertly told.This is much more polished, faster, tighter and more cohesive, the result of 2024 best-selling Freida expertly sharpening 2014 Freidaâs original ideas.Itâs got traditional straightforward thriller storytelling, but with the original structural twist of the five parallel character stories, it feels like something Peter Swanson could write, or the movie Pulp Fiction.One for the connoisseurs.Highly recommended, a must read for Freida Readers and one which should appeal outside her devoted fan base.Read it with no expectations and try to forget what you think you know if youâve read the original.

I usually stop reading a book in the first 50 pages or so because itâs the same old thing but this Dead Med kept me reading until the end. Itâs a fast read.

Interesting not my favorite of her books
I do like how you get the perspective from all the characters, which makes the book interesting, it was another super fast read but not 5 stars like most of hers I have read.

Another Freida McFadden hit
I am an absolute fan of Ms McFaddens books! I love how are characters are well developed and her plot twists are always unexpected.
Beth Wade –
A great read!
I love Freida McFadden books, but this is one of my all time favorites! It feels like multiple books in one. I hated to see it end!! I’d love more of these characters on the future!

Good book but didn’t like the ending
Unlike most of the other books I’ve read by her, this has the least twists. It was a bit more predictable yet the different perspectives were an interesting approach. Yet I hate the ending as it was rather unfinished and without a fusible explanation of the things that happened with Rachel to figure out who was the one in fault. Plus the “guilty party” didn’t seem to have been properly punished

Great Book!
I am a fan of Ms. McFaddenâs and of her books, Dean Med is one of my favorites. It captured my attention and I couldnât put it down. Great ending; however, it ended rather quickly. Perhaps I didnât want it to be over.Thank you Ms. McFadden for writing a great story.

Kinda good, kinda meh
Don’t get me wrong, I love Freida, but this book bugged me in a few ways. Some minor spoilers ahead.First, it begins strong with some suspense, but then it goes back in time and we see events from different characters’ perspectives, but it starts with a fairly boring character, and I’m sure it’s supposed to portray that this character is not super bright, but it came across as poor writing. Then there were just too many characters’ perspectives. Then it suddenly gets exciting and suspenseful again, to just end suddenly. Finally there’s a flash-forward epilogue that kinda tries to tie everything together again, but just ends with me wanting more

good fast paced read
I like the perspective from all the characters, makes the book that much more interesting. Super fast read, very entertaining

An outstanding revision!
Having read the original, which is a standalone in itself, this version seems to be more reflective of Ms. McFaddens style and growing talents as they’ve evolved to this present day. Dead Med is smoother, more polished; any initial “shocks” in it’s predecessor, those wrinkles have been ironed out, “necessary” changes have been made. This is a literary work of art, not that it’s ancestor was worthy of any criticism. This book was an enjoyable breeze to read. Highly recommended to anyone, as well as medical professionals worldwide for it’s vast entertainment value as well as it’s accuracy of terminology. Ten stars if I could, by all means. I look forward to her future publications, having already devoured most of the past ten years worth. Those still unread I’m savouring. Happy reading!
