Tess Gerritsen is a physician and an internationally bestselling author who lives in Maine.
Gerritsen gained nationwide acclaim for her first novel of medical suspense, the New York Times bestseller HARVEST. I met her when she was keynote speaker at our Oklahoma Writers Federation Conference in 2009.
This is a review of her 2001 thriller, THE SURGEON.
BUT ... WAIT! Make sure your doors are locked before you start reading this one.
Dr.Catherine Cordell has created a new life for herself as a successful surgeon in a Boston hospital. Two years before she was the survivor of a serial killer in Savannah, and beautiful Catherine managed t...

Customer Review: Usually I can tell who the protagonist in a novel is right off the bat, lots of times just by reading the inside flap of a hard cover or the back of a paperback. But in this more than excellent thriller/mystery from Tess Gerritsen I had a hard time deciding if the novel belonged to Boston Medical Examiner Maura Isles or Police Detective Jane Rizzoli. In a well written suspense story told from the third person point of view, we get to wander around in the head of enough people to make the book interesting, usually four or five, but not so many that it becomes confusing, however we spend most of the time with our protag. In this book, however, Ms. Gerritsen seems to have divided our head time ...

Customer Review: I have found that it is a bit difficult to write a review on a book that's part of a series, particularly if you have reviewed most of the other books in the series. Chances are that most of what you say in the newest review is going to sound repetitive. Regardless of whether you liked it or not. But, still, review I must. So, I'm going to say that while I have stated my love for the Jane Rizzoli & Maura Isles many times in my numerous reviews, The Keepsake was the first one that I felt sort of "meh" about. Wow! Typing that sentence nearly killed me and now I feel ashamed...
Let's start with the good: the archeology. This was something that I found absolutely fascinating (well,...

Customer Review: I really enjoyed this book and found it difficult to put down. I'm not sure what some of the other reviewers found confusing about it because I was able to follow along just fine. I think it was well worth a dollar.

Customer Review: In 1988, the BBC (and A&E) broadcast a marvelous mini-series called "First Born", based on a novel by Maureen Duffy, about a human/ape hybrid boy who grows up in a scientist's family unaware of his origins until... well, in hopes that the series might, yet, make it to DVD, that's all the plot I'll go into. Although this would seem a natural for any number of S-F writers, the concept seems (at least to me) to have been little explored further in any work of note, Until now. With "Lucy", Laurence Gonzales jumps headlong into it. As you can probably guess from the title, Gonzales' hybrid is female. Moreover, except for its basic premise, he handles it in a totally different... and even more eng...

Customer Review: This book was very entertaining and i must say that i loved the John Corey character. Im not going to spoil anything here but i will say that toward the middle/end of the book new information is realized and the story was not what i had expected it to be at all (which is not necessarily a bad thing) I found the book to be very entertaining throughout and would definitely recommend it!
