Review

Praise for The Surgeon: 'If you like your crime medicine strong, this will keep you gripped' Mail on Sunday 'Authentic, convincing' Sunday Times Praise for The Apprentice: 'Goes head-to-head with Nicci French and Karin Slaughter to scare the pants off you! A classic page-turner, full of melodrama' Daily Mirror 'Compulsive' Irish Times Praise for Gerritsen: 'Tess Gerritsen is an automatic must-read in my house. If you've never read Gerritsen, figure in the price of electricity when you buy your first novel by her 'cause baby, you are going to be up all night. She is better than Palmer, better than Cook! Yes, even better than Crichton' Stephen King

Product Description

A spine-tingling thriller from the bestselling author of the Rizzoli & Isles series.

The small resort of Tranquillity, Maine, seems like the perfect spot for Dr Claire Elliot to shelter her son, Noah, from the temptations of the city and the traumatic memory of his father's death. Claire's hopeful that she can earn the trust of the town as she builds a new practice. But her plans unravel when an outbreak of teenage violence, far more deadly than anything she has encountered in the city, erupts in the local school.

In trying to find a medical explanation for this murderous epidemic, Claire stumbles upon an insidious evil which has blighted the town's past and threatens its future. Terrified that Noah too is at risk, she must prove her theory before everything she loves is destroyed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Crazy Kids and a Mystery that Begs to be Solved 7 Jan 2008
By Laurel Whitehead
Format:Paperback
Dr. Claire Elliot moved to quiet Tranquility, Maine with her rebellious teenage son Noah after the death of her husband. She takes over a small medical practice and starts to rebuild her life, but after only being in town for a short while, strange things start happening among the town's youth. Teenage pranks rapidly accelerate into a shooting spree at the local school. Clare wonders why some of the town's residents want to cover up the incidents and she also wonders if there might be a medical explanation for everything that is going on. Then folks start blaming her for what's happening and it looks like they want to drive her out of town.

Convinced that there's a medical reason for the evil behavior of the town's teenagers, Claire chases after every clue she can find. Then her son is arrested for a hit and run and that leads to the clue that might solve the puzzle.

BLOODSTREAM is a fast and fun five star read that will have you deeply involved in the mystery while you work along with Claire as she tries to figure it all out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Possibly her best? 29 Jan 2004
By Danielle Hall
Format:Paperback
After the first few chapters I was pleased to find that this book was as good as Gerritsen's Surgeon/Apprentice series of books, as I read on I found it was better. This is a story about a small community in Maine where people start to behave strangely and violently for no apparent reason. Is the problem a medical one? Is it down to a chemical contaminant? Or is the problem more sinister than that? This novel is reminiscent of Cornwell and Reichs at their best, although with a bit less emphasis on forensic pathology and a touch more Stephen King. A well paced thriller.

An interesting easy read written by a very accomplished author. The book kept me entertained but was somewhat predictable at times. I will be reading more books from this author.
