enjoyable read. Forced me to look up a couple of items (profusionist for example). The book on tape actor was very good.

This medical thriller wasn’t my favorite from this author.  A surgeon allegedly commits suicide, setting off an investigation into a variety of additional murders of surgeons.  This novel had a good amount of medical detail, along with the police investigations, but the plot dragged for me in quite a few places and I wasn’t as invested in the characters.  This is an older book from this author (2010) and his writing has definitely improved with his more recent works.  3.5/5 stars.

Michael Palmer is my Robin Cook when it comes to Medical Thriller. Don't get me wrong, RC's books are great, but nothing beats the pace of Mr Palmer's. This was no exception.

Good book but suffered from women-written-by-men syndrome such that it had intolerable moments LOL

A decent story that does more as a thriller than a medical thriller. Surprisely addictive, kept reading big chuck everyday, it made for an easy read.
