A Case of Need by Michael Crichton, Jeffery Hudson
3.0
I picked up this book because it has Michael Crichton's name on it. It's his first book, published in 1968, an important detail because abortion was still illegal then. This is a medical mystery centered on a botched abortion and one pathologist's attempt to prove his friend didn't do it.
The timeline is a bit compressed - sometimes it's hard to believe he could cover as much in one day as this story suggests. And, the ending doesn't clear up a couple of things as clearly as I'd like, you're left deducing a few things on your own. But all in all a good read, worth picking up.
