My stepmother got me started on Palmer, so recently I bought her too
Gerritsen books.  She said she was mad at me because I made her stay up
reading all night long, then she asked me for more titles.

Subject: [bookshare-discuss] Medical Thrillers: Was Favorite books of 2007?

Robin Cook was the first medical thriller author I ever read.  I liked him
so well that I thought I'd try others.  Another book in the genre I liked
was Sand Man by Sean Castello.  I may or may not have the author's name
spelled right but I'm too tired to go look it up just now.  Anyway, people
were talking about medical thrillers on another list I'm on and someone
suggested Michael Palmer.  I'd never heard of him before.  I'm reading my
first book of his right now, The Fifth Vile, but I only like it okay.
Sometimes I'm caught up and fascinated and in other parts I'm a little
bored.  I'll finish it out though and see what I think then.

Thanks Rose for your suggestions below.  I've never read Gerritsen before. 
I'll
go look her up, and then go to bed with Michael Palmer... wait... er... ...
I mean with his book!

Happy reading,
Allison
