I finally got around to reading Tess Gerritsen's early books, and I can see why her career took off after Harvest. She.just.writes.smart.

Her medical knowledge notwithstanding, Gerritsen's characters are engaging and strong, and you root for them as she tortures them just for fun. When things are bad, don't worry, they'll get worse. And just when you think you have the twists and turns figured out, everything unravels.

I didn't give this a perfect score because I thought one plot line was a bit obvious, but maybe I was just having a good day and stumbled onto it. Anyway, I enjoyed the ride .. a lot.
