Featured in One Book One Nebraska: Mignon G. Eberhart.

Bison Books edition of
Eberhart's The Mystery of
Hunting's End

The 2023 selection for One Book One Nebraska (a community-based reading program focusing on a classic work by a Nebraska writer or one that has a Nebraska setting) is a mystery: The Mystery of Hunting's End (1930) by Nebraska-born Grand Master Mignon G. Eberhart (1899–1996). Nurse Sarah Keate is engaged to care for Lucy Kingery at a lodge full of guests cut off from the outside world by a snowstorm. Wrote Freddy the Detective's Walter R. Brooks in the 19 Nov. 1930 The Outlook (469), "Gruesome and ghastly are the goings on in a snowbound hunting lodge .... Gooseflesh connoisseurs will enjoy this one."

Discussion questions and other resources are offered such as an introductory video by Nebraska Wesleyan University's Rick Cypert, author of America's Agatha Christie: Mignon Good Eberhart, and a link to Mystery House (1938), a film based on the novel.

Anthology on medical fictions.

I've run across an anthology on works of medical fiction edited by Nickianne Moody (Liverpool John Moores University) and Julia Hallam (University of Liverpool), including essays such as "Sacrificial Corpses: The Therapeutic Corpses of Agatha Christie" by Clues editorial board member Gill Plain (University of St. Andrews) and "From Coma to Chaos: Notes on the Evolution of the Medical Thriller" by Susan Aldridge. Further details here.

Another possible book of interest: The Deadly Dinner Party by Jonathan A. Edlow, an associate professor of medicine at Harvard, who examines some real-life medical mysteries. The Australian Broadcasting Co.'s Book Show interviews the author here.
