I adored reading this, I knew I was enjoying it when I put on my digital book wishlist the other 11 books of this series after just 4 chapters
"“I would also take this opportunity to remind you that Doctor Foster will be circulating similar medical paperwork for your completion and does not share my enlightened attitude towards employee relations. As I'm sure at least some of you are aware, she enjoys a robust, thorough and above all, penetrative approach to your annual medical examinations."
Not my usual fair, but enjoyable all the same (the briefing at the opening of chapter 6 was very good!) I will probably carry on with the series, as I found it unaccountably compelling, even recogniseing the target gender as assuredly not my own.
