A wonderful medical thriller….with great insight into the medical system. Lovable characters who have appeared in many Cook Books.
typical very good Robin Cook book. REad thru it very quickly.
I have read Robin Cook in the past and enjoyed his work. This story was good but he was an absolute vocabulary snob in this book. Whenever he could use the most uncommon word he did Eg moribund instead of dying come on!
Good medical mystery. Learned a lot about genetic info and testing.
I thoroughly enjoyed it!!
A classic Robin Cook medical mystery
