Description
In this riveting third book of the Dr. Abby Wilmore series, Dr. Abby returns to her medical clinic in Grand Canyon National Park. Happy to be reunited with her staff and her partner, Dr. John Pepper, Abby is back treating park visitors and personnel as well as local residents. However, a wave of heart attacks among apparently healthy hikers creates a new puzzle, and soon there are rumors of people using performance-enhancing drugs. Abby’s situation deteriorates when a new female friend suddenly disappears, and Abby berates herself for missing the woman’s depression.
As Abby struggles with the disappearance of her friend, Dr. Pepper is preoccupied by a mysterious threat from his past and becomes badly
injured in an apparent fall. While he recuperates, Abby takes over much of the clinic work while they provide a home for Pepper’s troubled teenage niece and an adopted stray dog.
Abby soon discovers that there is something more sinister behind the recent troubling events. In this exhilarating follow-up to The Color of Rock and Where Light Comes and Goes, Abby must learn to confront her past in order to stand up for the ones she loves.
Advance Praise
Praise for The Color of Rock
“Part Grey’s Anatomy, part modern western romance, Miller’s enjoyable story marries unexpected diagnoses with the promise of a happily-ever-after and will please fans of Jojo Moyes.”

I love the Dr Abby Wilmore series by Sandra Cavallo Miller. In What the River Said, Abby has returned to her position in the clinic at Grand Canyon and her lover Dr. John Pepper, ready to treat minor and major ailments. Abby still struggles with anxiety, but has achieved peace with her decisions and has collected a group of good friends. In the latest, Abby and John deal with hikers who are overdosing on questionable vitamins, a missing woman, and John's teenage niece. These books have a comforting rhythm that evoke the natural beauty of their setting and I find them eminently re-readable. Highly recommended.
Thanks to University of Nevada Press for access to a digital arc via NetGalley.
This is the first book I've read by Miller and I so enjoyed it that I will go back and read the others. she does a great job of capturing the beauty of the Grand Canyon and the strange array of locals who live there. Abby and Pepper are great characters and Pepper's niece Maddie is fresh and fierce. Good plot, fun read.
