Summary: Certified Page Turner
Review: Tess Gerritsen has done it again...she has managed to make me lose track of an entire day...and not reget it for a moment.
I have read some of her other books, and since I am a student in the medical profession, I like reading them based on her medical background. But thats not the only reason...the woman can plot a book with the best of them and ratchet up the tesnion level like no other.
Toby, an ER doctor sees something strange come into the emergency room while on shift, but the patient leaves the hospital, and Toby is blackballed at every turn by those who hold higher positions than she does.
The story of this mysterious disease in one steeped in money, wicked doctors, stolen babies and hidden truths. As each layer of the mystery is peeled back further and further, Toby loses those that are most dear to her. Will her fears win the day, or will the quest for truth and accountability be the ultimate victor?
When this book reaches its conclusion, you will be left with a breathless feeling of relief, but hungering for more of Ms. Gerritsen's novels. Certainly one of the best I have read in a long while.

Summary: Full of Suspense
Review: This is a book that will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time. Dr. Toby Harper starts to see a pattern of elderly patients all showing the same type of symptoms.. They're all acting as if they have Alzheimers even though their families swear that they were in the best of health in the previous week. Once she realizes what is going on, everyone begins to turn against her and she finds herself running from the law. If you have read any Robin Cook books, you notice that this one is very, very similar to one of his books. It was a good read nonetheless.

Summary: Good medical thriller
Review: This was my first Tess Gerritsen book and I enjoyed it very much. I really like medical thrillers, and this is one of the better ones. (However, I figured out what was going to happen to her mother about 5 pages after her new "babysitter" arrived.) Toby was an interesting character and I can't imagine what it would be like to work the graveyard shift in an ER in addition to being the caregiver for a mother with Alzheimers. Talk about stress!! I plan to read her previous medical thriller and look forward to her next.

Summary: Another Really Good Gerritsen Book
Review: This was not my favorite of all Tess Garritsen's books (I liked Gravity and Bloodstream a little more), but it was still a very good, fast read and quite entertaining. I'd recommend it.

Summary: A must have read for anyone who loves medical thrillers
Review: This was the first book that I read by Tess Gerritsen. From the very first few pages, I was automatically taken into the fast-paced content. I literally had a hard time putting the book down! The characters were like pieces of a puzzle that Gerritsen created, but didn't put together until the end of the book. I have read quite a few medical thrillers in the past, but none have kept my curiosity going like this book. Gerritsen is a wonderful writer. I feel as though anyone can enjoy this book--although I loved it even more since I am a health care professional. This is truly an enjoyable read. I only hope that Gerritsen will continue to write novels that are as great as this one!!

Summary: Great Book!
Review: When I began reading this novel, I thought to myself, "Oh yay, another sophisticated big-worded medical story," but after about ten pages I could not put it down! The novel keeps you on the edge of your seat, wanting to know what comes next. I really liked how Tess Gerritsen made seperate stories through-out the whole novel, then combined them in the end. It added on to the wonderment of the novel, mostly because you wondered what was going on with other characters while reading about another. I havn't read any of Gerritsen's other books, but now after reading "Life Support" I am going to read them.
