![]() It is not a great read but perfect when aboard a plane for a long trip. I actually read it a long time ago and never reviewed. There is a mystery drug involved and a lady trying to solve the case and some romantic entanglements. It is a somewhat generic thriller about girls dying all over a town. I read it on a plane and it served its purpose. Originally entitled, "Peggy sue got murdered", this one was all right. "They were relics from an earlier age, born of good intentions, but doomed by location and design". ![]() I will say that I wasn't bored just not sold on it. ![]() You have the rich guy who helps solve the crime. Replace the cop with the medical examiner. There were many others, but those are the first to come to mind.Īlso, this book read like J.D. The author gave no credible reason for her to be doing what she was doing, like she was on vacation or took vacation. Isn't that what detectives do? This was my biggest problem. Why is she going around investigating? Why did she do this for 90% of the book and she was barely at work and no one called her on it? She wasn't on vacation, yet, she hardly went to work at all with no excuse other than she had to investigate. And the car not twenty feet away, went unscathed.ģ. Yet, when she got home, she unlocked the door? How? She didn't mention looking under a rock, etc.Ģ. She mentions getting a locksmith because her keys were in her purse. I'll list them in spoiler tags for those who plan to read and want to form your own opinion.ġ. But she straddled the line so much, that was the least of my worries. Both of which did in fact existed in 1994 & 2008 for that matter.īut outside of that, this book had many plot holes and a touch of insta love. I'm not sure what times she updated it for because cell phones didn't exist and neither did caller id in her story. Very disappointed.įirst let me say, the author has a note at the beginning that states that she wrote this book long ago (1994) and she updated it in 2008 for the times (republished in 2009). Now retired from medicine, she writes full time. Publisher Weekly has dubbed her the "medical suspense queen". She has won both the Nero Wolfe Award (for Vanish) and the Rita Award (for The Surgeon.) Critics around the world have praised her novels as "Pulse-pounding fun" (Philadelphia Inquirer), "Scary and brilliant" (Toronto Globe and Mail), and "Polished, riveting prose" (Chicago Tribune). Her books have been translated into 31 languages, and more than 15 million copies have been sold around the world.Īs well as being a New York Times bestselling author, she has also been a #1 bestseller in both Germany and the UK. Her suspense novels since then have been: Life Support (1997), Bloodstream (1998), Gravity (1999), The Surgeon (2001), The Apprentice (2002), The Sinner (2003), Body Double (2004), Vanish (2005), The Mephisto Club (2006), and The Bone Garden (2007). Tess's first medical thriller, Harvest, was released in hardcover in 1996, and it marked her debut on the New York Times bestseller list. She also wrote a screenplay, "Adrift", which aired as a 1993 CBS Movie of the Week starring Kate Jackson. Call After Midnight, a romantic thriller, was followed by eight more romantic suspense novels. While on maternity leave from her work as a physician, she began to write fiction. ![]() A graduate of Stanford University, Tess went on to medical school at the University of California, San Francisco, where she was awarded her M.D. Internationally bestselling author Tess Gerritsen took an unusual route to a writing career. ![]()
