Now finished and thoroughly enjoyed this medical whodunnit. If a novel can be highly engaging and disturbing at the same time, this is one such read. All too-plausible hospital misdeeds indicate it might be wise to attend only with a vigilant security team in tow! @TheSimonBot

I’ve just finished “Sometimes People Die” by ⁦@TheSimonBot⁩ and it’s the best book I’ve read in a long time. At turns hilarious, depressing, and a suspenseful murder mystery. Perfectly captures medical training and what it does to us. 5⭐️ #medtwitter nytimes.com/2022/10/21/books…

‘A Hospital Is an Almost Perfect Hunting Ground’ (Published 2022)

In Simon Stephenson’s new novel, “Sometimes People Die,” patients at a London hospital are dying at a rapid clip — especially ones who shouldn’t be.

On the recommendation of @quantick I read (listened to) ‘Set My Heart Five’ by @TheSimonBot ‘I cannot’ sum up how it’s made me feel (10/10) but this picture might help. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ BTW for my money, the best screenwriting manual is ‘The Tools of Screenwriting (Howard & Mabley)
