What a pageturner!It has been a very long time since I read a medical thriller. In fact, some of the first adult books I ever read were Robin Cooks wonderful medical thrillers. I read them in my early teens, somewhere between my Dean Koontz binge and my first exposure to Robert Jordan.As with so many good things in life, Ive found my way back to medical thrillers with Tess Gerritsens Harvest.This is Gerritsens first medical thriller (I understand that she wrote romance before this novel), and Im incredibly

You know a book is really good when you read it all in one sitting. This book grabbed my attention immediately and I just did not want to pull myself away.The story centers on medical resident Abby DiMatteo, an ambitious new surgeon.

More specifically, organs seem to be coming available without the usual documentation. She starts to investigate
Good choice from the Hay-on-Wye crime and thriller bookshop that James and I stumbled upon back in August. Not an author I had read before, but from the cover it sounded like something I might enjoy I did! It was quite a complex story for a debut novel....and I'm not entirely sure I liked the ending and who ended up being the main crim....but overall, an entertaining read.
