Review # 1 was written on 2016-09-24 00:00:00 Jon Sod Interesting! I enjoyed the medical aspect of the book. I especially found the subject and information about Asperger's and how it effects different people in a variety of different ways. The book is a mystery about a very intelligent but flawed family. The father a renowned doctor, Petros, the oldest son Dimitri, twins - one a girl one a boy and his youngest daughter Thea. Petro's has a horrible car accident and although most think it is just an accident, Dimitri and Thea have their suspicions that if wasn't an accident at all. But why would someone want to kill Petro? There is also a significant information about drug trials, and liver cancer, and how hospitals might benefit from finding the cure of a disease. It was a bit slow in places but still good.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-05-04 00:00:00 Doug Knox I received this book in audio book form and enjoyed it very much. It was a very good medical thriller that had some nice twists and turns that I found interesting. I liked Palmer's heroine, Thea Sperelakis, a medical Dr who has Asperger Syndrome. When Thea's father is severely injured in an accident, she comes to his aid, only to discover that what landed him in the hospital and in a comatose state may not have been an accident after all. Relying on her smarts and attention to details, Thea is resolved to discover who done it and why. Because of her Aspergers, Thea finds she is at a disadvantage in some aspects of her investigation such as being able to tell little lies in order to get to the truth, blurting out exactly what her thoughts are, or being able to read other people's emotions.... who can or should she trust? I thought it was an excellent ear-listening experience. Note: This was a book that I received as a bookring from a member at Bookcrossing.com
