You probably know Adam Kay – he’s the author of the popular book, *This Is Going To Hurt*, which was also turned into a successful BBC TV series.
Beyond his other accomplishments, he also wrote a popular series of children’s books that explained how the body works and highlighted amazing medical discoveries.
I’m really excited about this new book! Usually, Kay focuses on non-fiction, but he’s just released his first novel, *A Particularly Nasty Case*, and it’s a gripping crime thriller. It’s all about a doctor who gets pulled into a world of serial murders. Even cooler, it’s the book my book club, TopMob, is reading this September – and Dr. Oetker Ristorante is sponsoring us, which is a nice bonus!
Kay’s work, no matter the form it takes, consistently revolves around the world of medicine.

I treated myself this month with a cozy night in! I dove into a really good murder mystery called ‘A Particularly Nasty Case’ – it had everything you want in a classic crime novel. And to make it perfect, I paired it with a Dr. Oetker Ristorante Mozzarella pizza – you just can’t go wrong with that!
