"I'm not sure whether my taste is changing in books or if Patterson's writing is changing but this book, while entertaining, was a fast and rather simplistic read. Kind of predictable . . . but then, my taste could be changing.

"I have read Bk #1 and now Bk #12 in the series. We enjoy the TV series, but I found Bk 12 more closely related to the series.
A very good read. Enjoyed it very much and will read more. I unfortunately find the french used within a bit off-putting, but Reichs usually puts the translation right after it.
I recommend it.

"This was the first Harry Bosch book I have read, and I will read more.
Best book of this genre I have read in a long time. Not a real fan of international locations in books, but I could easily overlook that in this book.

"I really enjoyed this book . . . wasn't sure at first because it seemed too "soft." But I found myself wondering about the mysteries that the author wove in her writing and kept reading to find out more. Fairly fast read, and very entertaining!"

"Loved this book! A much darker "read" than Harris' Sookie Stackhouse series, but much more in depth. Would recommend it for those who are looking for something more "meaty."

"Found the book somewhat choppy. Could not relate well to the characters. If I had read previous Maggie O'Dell books, it might have helped. Did not care for it."

"I enjoyed the book but was not very fond of Rhymes. Maybe I needed to follow his journey through the earlier books, and I will, but I wouldn't suggest starting out with this one like I did. This was my first Deaver.
It's fairly heavy with the technical aspects of electricity and has quite a few twists and turns in the plot.
Slower read for me because of the technical stuff, and because I really did try to understand it, but I do recommend it."

"While this was good, I have liked other Alex Cross stories better. I couldn't help but get the feeling that Patterson was preaching to his audience about the state of affairs in Africa. Plus, with all the physical hurt that Alex went through, it put the storyline over more toward the unbelievable. It certainly won't cause me to stop reading Patterson, but I was disappointed."

"I love Robin Cook, but I think someone else wrote this. While the story was solid, and I'm familiar with the two medical examiners characters, I didn't like any of them in this book. The writing was stilted and old fashioned. sounded like this might have been in the style of the 60's. I forced myself to read it because I kept hoping it would get better, but it didn't. Sorry Robin Cook, but I've liked other books of yours much better!

"I had hopes for this book because I really like medical thrillers, but this one disappointed me. Can't put my finger on it, it just left me about 3/4 through saying "Huh?". Maybe I missed something, but it seemed incomplete to me. I will read another of Joanne Blalock and see if it leaves me the same way . . . I was distracted during the time I was reading it, so that might be it."

"I read this book in a day, and I do not agree with the other reviewers. The book was not realistic. In one section, the main detective was slapping around a drug dealer tryibng to get information, and in another he and his partner were hurrying off to meet this dealer and they were eating hamburgers and drinking beer in the car. I was in total awe of the lack of forensics or even the mention of a computer and I would hate to think that drug use and smoking were that widespread in a hospital. It reminded me of fiction from the 50's and 60's. It just seemed silly to me. I guess I like my mysteries a bit darker and more believable."

"I agree with another reviewer; this book reminds me a lot of The Murder Club. It seemed a tad choppy for my taste. Maybe the second one will be better. I'll read that one too"

"Really really a good book! It's lighter reading than I'm used to, but I still really enjoyed it. Have read the second one too, and that one surprised me! Looking forward to #3.

"I wasn't impressed. I usually read for an hour or so each night before going to sleep. . . this book kind of put me to sleep."

"I have read all of the Rizolli series and this one was the best! The "spooky" factor is very high in this, so be prepared!

"I have been reading this series now for 4 books, but I must admit that I'm not liking how Aurora is turning out. Harris' seems to be changing her from the humble librarian to a rather stuffy and somewhat self-righteous young woman forgetting her modest roots. The story itself was entertaining and a quick read (1 day) and I'll continue to read the series. Just not crazy about Harris has Aurora maturing."

"This is the first Lisa Gardner book I've read, and it is the best book I've read in a long time. If I am half way through a book and am anxious to see how it turns out, it's a "win" for me. Finished it at 3:30 am two nights ago! Will be reading all of her other books as well. Great twists and turns. . . Written from two different perspectives.

"Read this in a couple of days and thoroughly enjoyed it. I recommend it highly. Enjoyed the way the author wrote from different characters perspectives. This is the first Lisa Gardner book I have read, and have ordered three more. Very enjoyable!
