3.0 out of 5 stars Close but no cigar., 5 Aug 1999
By A Customer
The back cover blurb and inside praise for Lethal Practice convinced me to buy this book but I was disappointed. It definitely was NOT a page-turner for me. I finished it only because I wanted to see how it would end. My main complaint is that there isn't much action to propel the plot. The novel is chiefly about hospital politics (boring), and I found myself not really caring about most of the characters. I figured out who the killer was about halfway through the book because the culprit is the least likely suspect. The medical portions are well done but that's not enough to make up for the shortcomings. If you want to read an excellent novel dealing with an emerging unstoppable infectious organism try The Third Pandemic by Pierre Ouellette. Another action-packed medical thriller is Threshold by Ben Mezrich. I also recommend the books by Tess Gerritsen.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST BOOK I HAVE READ IN YEARS, 16 May 1999
By A Customer
Death Rounds was by far the best book i have read in years. It takes you on a roller coaster ride from the first page and leaves you breathless!! Peter Clements first hand knowledge of the inner workings of a big city ER gives this book the believability needed to grab you from page one and not let go till the story is done.

He keeps you guessing from page to page. Not only WHO but HOW. Then raps it all up in a neat little package at the end. I really liked the fact that at the end of the book you were able to put it down without a lot of questions unanswered as with many mysteries I have read.

I cant wait to get my hands on his next book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Will to for hospitals what Jaws did for water, 4 Feb 1999
By A Customer
In Buffalo, University Nospital and St. Paul's Hospital are in the process of merging some of their departments in order to reduce costs. Dr. Earl Garnett, chief of the emergency room of St. Paul's, is not interested in the swirling politics between the two hospitals. Like his spouse Janet, a University Hospital doctor, Earl only wants to be a healer. However, Earl feels guilty when he discharges a patient, a nurse at University, only to have her return the next day extremely ill.

Janet informs Earl that this is the third nurse to exhibit the same pattern. She feels that the "Phantom," a being no one has seen, has been hurting those medical employees who have been known to mistreat their patients. Janet feels the dormant Phantom is real. When more deaths occur from a strain of a man-made bug, Earl believes his spouse's theory is true. Soon, the hospital faces hysteria, quarantine, and finally mass evacuation due to the Phantom's antics. Earl places his own life on the line to stop an avenging maniac from killing anyone else.

Make room on the medical thriller keeper shelf for a new top gun in Peter Clements. This novel does to hospitals what JAWS did to beaches in the seventies. DEATH ROUNDS is a tension builder, suspense-filled chiller that will provide the audience with much reading pleasure; just do not get sick because the reader will not want to be even an out-patient. The hero is a caring every-person, who requires extraordinary circumstances to turn him into a legendary figure. Mr. Clements needs to provide fans with more novels starring that gem of a doctor, Earl Garnett.

5.0 out of 5 stars You can't put it down
Clement's has a way of gluing you to the pages. I found it hard to put down. I'm a big fan of Robin Cooks, but this book is one of the best I've read in years. Read more
