Format:Hardcover
McClure's character from earlier novels, Doctor Stephen Dunbar of the British Home Office's 'Sci-Med' Directorate is called on to investigate kidney transplant problems in an exclusive Glasgow private hospital.
This novel has all the warmth of his earlier books, and you are easily drawn to Dunbar and his exploits to solve the mystery, and save the life of a young potential transplant patient.
McClure writes along the same topic lines to author Robin Cook.
This book will not disappoint, and will keep you wanting to turn the next page. Nicely paced, and with other characters thrown in along the way. I've just finished it. Phew - Well Done.

Donor is not my usual genre, womens fiction being my natural home.... But I so enjoyed reading this book: I read it in the space of 48 hours, the suspense kept me gripped! The plot is intricate, full of twists and turns, just as you think you know what's going to happen, something new happens throwing you back into the suspense. Against the sinister medical plot backdrop, the human interest stories of Amanda and her family, and Dunbar's relationship with Lisa maintain the emotional engagement of the reader. A great read, thank you! This book would make a brilliant film!

Format:Kindle Edition
This is an intense thriller with an over-riding sense of impending doom as Dr Dunbar investigates the secretive goings on in a private hospital. Suspicions are aroused when a young patient is admitted and things don't appear to be quite right. The author obviously knows people as well as how to write a riveting story and has a great empathy with the characters, which is passed on to the reader. Alongside the suspense are likeable characters with real relationships and motivations. There is also a good balance between the medical goings on, the characters lives and the action that drive the plot forward at an excellent pace. Not only is this the beginnings of what I hope will be a collectable series, but also could be adapted well to TV. Dunbar as the central character in different pathological crimes definitely appeals to me, as I'm sure it will to other readers. Looking forward to Number 2!

A good start
This book established the main character well enough for me to probably read another of the series. It has a mostly plausible plotline and "humanises" the story by involving the... Read more

Engaging and atmospheric
Donor struck a chord with me from the very beginning. A punchy start, it hits at the very heart of every parent's nightmare - the sudden loss of a young child through illness. Read more

Very disappointing
Started off well and the subject matter was reasonable but after about half way things started to become a bit to predictable. The ending was very rushed and embarrasing.
