You should try Peter Clement. Also, as suggested, Michael Palmer's worth a try.

Something older, but very good is "Green for Danger" by Christianna Brand. It has to do with a series of murders at a British military hospital during World War II.

This is an oldie but I remember when I read it that I stayed up half the night finishing it (I had to be at work at 8am the next morning too)! Strong Medicine by Arthur Hailey. Here is the Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/Strong-Medicine-Novel-Arthur-Hailey/dp/0385504098/ref=ed_oe_p |

My favorites are the first few of Karin Slaughter's series and the first 7 or so in the Patricia Cornwell Kay Scarpetta series. I am behind in my Slaughter reading so I don't know if they went bad after a while but the Cornwell series sure got bad. I haven't read one since Blow Fly Ugh! |

Pamela P. Thank you for that suggestion. The other suggested authors I have read, but Christianna Brand is new to me. I will definately try her. Shiela, I didn't know Arthur Hailey wrote any mysteries, though I've read many of his novels. I'm definately going to look for the one you described as a " can't put down" one. Thanks ,you two ,for the great suggestions! M'ann Last Edited on: 10/25/08 9:18 AM ET - Total times edited: 1 |

I don't know if it quite qualifies as a medical thriller, but I always get a chill reading The Hot Zone by Richard Preston. Nonfiction, but fast-paced and frightening nonetheless. He has also delved into the fiction side of things with The Cobra Event. Last Edited on: 6/24/09 1:38 PM ET - Total times edited: 1 |
