Dr Abby Di Matteo is a surgical resident at Boston’s Bayside Medical Center. She’s thrilled to be offered an opportunity to work with Bayside’s organ transplant team. She’s less than thrilled, however, to find out that the heart of one of her trauma patients is being directed to the wife of a wealthy businessman instead of the 17 year old kid who is number one on the transplant priority list.
When Abby helps the chief surgical resident go against orders she finds herself in far more trouble than she ever expected.
While I initially expected to be reading something that would feel like “Robin Cook’s Coma (Redux)”, this book is a decent medical thriller with many similarities to Coma, but enough differences to make it an entirely different mystery.
After reading The Surgeon by Gerritsen last year, I definitely wanted to read more. This was her first medical thriller and I’m looking forward to reading my way through all of her books.
No stars – I couldn’t even finish it
1 star – I didn’t like it but I managed to finish it.
2 stars – It was OK. Not good, but seriously just OK.
3 stars - I liked it. I didn’t think it was great, but I thought it was good entertainment.
4 stars – I really liked it. I really think you might like it too.
5 stars – It was amazing. I’d recommend this to just about anyone.

I'm working at reading the series that beings with "The Surgeon." Gerritsen writes such a good mystery. I'll have to add this one to my list.
Framed: I definitely want to continue with the series that started with The Surgeon, but I wanted to read some of her earlier stuff too.
